Les Feldick Bible Study

When were Peter's epistles written relative to his death, Paul's death, and the destruction of the temple?

Peter's epistles were written just shortly before Peter and Paul were both martyred. Those martyrdoms then occurred just shortly before the Romans destroyed the temple in 70 A.D. So the epistles came before both deaths, and both deaths came before the temple's destruction.

Les explains that Peter's epistles are found at the back of our Bible, but they were written just shortly before Peter and Paul were both martyred. He notes that both martyrdoms happened just shortly before the Romans destroyed the temple in 70 A.D. In the Acts narrative, Peter comes back into the scene in chapter 10, then later fades off, and the account shifts to Paul and the Gentiles.
