Everybody tells me Peter (Simon) died in Rome, but I can't find where it is in the Bible. Can you help me out? Thanks muches, Puzzled About It!

(From an email sent into the Parsons Corner)

The Bible is quite silent on Peter's death as well as all the others, save for James.

The only mention of Peters death is:


Verse 19 seems to clearly indicate that Jesus is speaking of Peter's death.  Tradition does hold that Peter was crucified in Rome, upside down, which could be described in the above passage, but this does seem like one of those questions we will not know this side of glory.  The only thing we can tell, is that in his death, Peter would glorify God.  Tradition does hold as well, that the upside down crucifixion was Peter's idea, that he was not worthy to be crucified as Jesus was.
