Quotes 

• Guard : The man called Peter has been heard to preach rebellion and blasphemy... against the rule and the divinity of the emperor. It is accordingly decreed that he be taken to Vatican Hill... where it has been confessed he made his first preachment... to be crucified and left there as a warning to all and any... who henceforth wish to call themselves Christians.

  Peter : To die as our Lord died is more than I deserve.

  Guard : We can change that.

• Peter : Obey those who govern you and the laws by which they govern. Even though, under them, you suffer cruelties and witness maliciousness beyond your mind's dimensions, make no threat of violence in return.

• Peter : In the words of Jesus, I further say to you, whosoever shall smite thee upon thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. And pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you.
