Markley argues that the normal portrayal of apocalyptic seers, which he reconstructs via an research of fourteen Jewish and Christian apocalypses, formed Matthew's portrayal of Peter. This impact of the apocalypse style has come to undergo at the Matthean Peter ultimately, via Matthew's appropriation of Markan and Q resource fabric, and at once, via Matthew's redaction and targeted fabric. this means that Matthew has portrayed Peter, partially, as an apocalyptic seer who was once an unique recipient of mysteries approximately Jesus and mysteries mediated by means of Jesus.
