Apocalypse of Peter ( AP)

AP is in the Muratorian fragment, the oldest surviving list of New Testament books, which also states it was not allowed to be read in church by others. At that time it was just about to be allowed for common people to attend church/sermons. In EGYPT it was only for the priests and Royals and a secret. You had to be initiated to the mysteries. It was not for EVERYONE to know.

There are  two incomplete versions of AP dating ca 100-150 AD, a  lost Greek and the huge Ethiopic discovered 1910 that are different. It would be very interesting to know HOW they differ? I want to know if there is a fraud and cover up by the Roman Church ( also Sandhredin rabbis) to tell the TRUE story of CHRIST? I believe like Ellis that they hired Josef Flavious to rewrite HISTORY as they wanted it to be known to the public. And he was also Saul  AND Paul "the apostle" who followed and harassed Jesus.

Ptolomey took all original scribes to Alexandria and copies were made and spread.  The Greek consisted of parchment leaves that was claimed to be deposited in the grave of a Christian monk of the 8th or 9th CENTURY, unknown until excavations 1886–87 in Upper (south) Egypt. Before it had been known via quotations in early Christian writings. 

The unknown author, who claimed to be Peter the Apostle, relied on the canonical Gospels and on Revelation to John to construct a conversation between himself and Jesus regarding events at the end of the world. Unlike Revelation to John,  this focus  on eternal rewards and punishments with accounts of the torments to be borne by sinful men, influenced by Orphic and Pythagorean  texts of heaven and hell. 

As the Savior was sitting in the temple in the three hundredth (year) of the covenant and the agreement of the tenth pillar, and being satisfied with the number of the living, incorruptible Majesty, he said to me, "Peter, blessed are those above belonging to the Father, who revealed life to those who are from the life, through me, since I reminded they who are built on what is strong, that they may hear my word, and distinguish words of unrighteousness and transgression of law from righteousness, as being from the height of every word of this Pleroma of truth, having been enlightened in good pleasure by him whom the principalities sought. But they did not find him, nor was he mentioned among any generation of the prophets. He has now appeared among these, in him who appeared, who is the Son of Man, who is exalted above the heavens in a fear of men of like essence. But you yourself, Peter, become perfect in accordance with your name with myself, the one who chose you, because from you I have established a base for the remnant whom I have summoned to knowledge. Therefore be strong until the imitation of righteousness - of him who had summoned you, having summoned you to know him in a way which is worth doing because of the rejection which happened to him, and the sinews of his hands and his feet, and the crowning by those of the middle region, and the body of his radiance which they bring in hope of service because of a reward of honor - as he was about to reprove you three times in this night."

And as he was saying these things, I saw the priests and the people running up to us with stones, as if they would kill us; and I was afraid that we were going to die.

And he said to me, "Peter, I have told you many times that they are blind ones who have no guide. If you want to know their blindness, put your hands upon (your) eyes - your robe - and say what you see."

But when I had done it, I did not see anything. I said "No one sees (this way)."

Again he told me, "Do it again."

And there came in me fear with joy, for I saw a new light greater than the light of day. Then it came down upon the Savior. And I told him about those things which I saw.
