Acts of Peter
Several texts concern themselves with the subsequent lives of the apostles, usually with highly supernatural events. Almost half of these, anciently called "The Circuits of the Apostles" and now known by the name of their purported author, "Leucius Charinus" (supposedly a companion of John the apostle), contained the Acts of Peter, John, Andrew, Thomas, and Paul. These were judged by the Patriarch Photios I of Constantinople in the ninth century to be full of folly, self-contradiction, falsehood, and impiety. The "Acts of Thomas" and the "Acts of Peter and the Twelve" are often considered Gnostic texts. While most of the texts are believed to have been written in the 2nd century, at least two, the "Acts of Barnabas" and the "Acts of Peter and Paul" are believed to have been written as late as the 5th century.
