From the historical works of Eusebius of Caesarea we learn that St. Peter went to Rome in 42 and preached the Gospel there for 25 years. However, this information is not confirmed in the books of the New Testament. For this reason, this article attempts to answer the question of where St. Peter could have stayed and acted from the moment he left Jerusalem (Acts 12:17) until his arrival in Rome. The analysis of Gal 2:11–14 leads to the conclusion that after the Council of Jerusalem he certainly stayed in Antioch for some time. It is possible that during his long journey he reached the northern regions of Asia Minor, as a reminiscence of this can be found in 1 Peter 1:1. Then, on his way to Rome, he probably paid a visit to Christians in Corinth, as evidenced by 1 Cor 1:12; 9:5. These texts therefore allow us to suppose that after leaving Jerusalem, St. Peter became an itinerant apostle, carried out extensive missionary activities and, thanks to his personal contacts with Christian communities, gained great authority among them.

In this article an attempt is made at answering the question of wherePeter was able to stay and act. It considers the time from when Peter leftJerusalem in the year 42 (Acts 12:17) to his arrival in Rome. The analysisof Galatians 2:11-14 leads to the conclusion that after the Jerusalem Councilhe certainly spent some time in Antioch. It is possible that during his manyyears of travel he reached the northern regions of Asia Minor. We findreminiscence of this in 1 Peter 1:1. Later, on the way to Rome, he probablyvisited Christians in Corinth as can be seen in 1 Corinthians 12:9,5. Thesetexts allow the supposition that, after leaving Jerusalem, Peter became anitinerant apostle, led extensive missionary activity, and, through personalcontacts with Christian communities, obtained great authority among them.
