The Acts of Peter and the Twelve[1][2] or the Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles[3][4] is a Christian text from about the 4th century.[5] It is the first treatise in Codex VI of the Nag Hammadi library texts,[6][7] taking up pages 1–12 of the codex's 78 pages.[6] The writing extends the Parable of the Pearl from Matthew 13:45–46.[8][9] In the text, Peter the Apostle meets a pearl merchant named Lithargoel, who is later revealed to be Jesus.[10] Jesus commands the apostles to care for the poor.[11]
