Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles
A likely 3rd century text with final redaction in the 4th century, the Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles was found, in fragmentary form, among the Nag Hammadi library texts. While it does not contain overtly gnostic teachings, its allegorical nature and being found among other gnostic works has led some to believe it may be gnostic in nature. The Acts are fragmentary in a number of places, including the introductory lines.
