Gospel of Peter is a Second Century Parially False Gospel which Claims to be Written by Peter but was not. This Gospel is not presently in full Extant. The Gospel is said to be work of Docetics, A type of blief that Jesus don't have Physical Body based on the Church Father. Even the Current short text is also a Enough Proof that text is a work of Docetics, who Believes that Jesus did not have physical body. John the Apostle in his Letters said that Jesus had Physical Body and he is both God and Human, In other Words God who came in the Form of Man. However this Gospel Consists some Extra Knowledge even those who quoted this text said It consisted some good information like Miracles by Jesus and on Perpetual Virginity of Mary but on the deep view it is docetic in style.
Church Fathers on Gospel of Peter
Origen (Born AD 180)
Commentary on Matthew
They concept, then, that He turned into the son of Joseph and Mary. But some say,
Basing it on a way of life in the Gospel consistent with Peter, as it's far entitled, or “The book of James,” that the brethren of Jesus had been sons of Joseph with the aid of a former spouse, whom he married earlier than Mary. Now folks that say so desire to hold the respect of Mary in virginity to the give up(which means that people who say Mary remained Virgin until the stop of her life), so that the frame of hers which turned into appointed to minister to the word which said, “The Holy Spirit shall Encounter you (Mary), and the Power of the most high shall overshadow you,”(Luke) She may not Have intercourse with a man after that the Holy Ghost came into her and the power from on high overshadowed her.
Opinion of Origen (Continuation)
And i assume it in harmony with motive that Jesus turned into the primary-fruit among men of the purity which consists in chastity, and Mary among girls; for it were now not pious to ascribe to any apart from to her the first-fruit of virginity.
I do not know that this is the same Gospel of Peter which other Church Father mention. Origen agreed the View of Perpetual Virginity of Mary and not only Origen but 90% of Church Father agreed about it. For instance,
Tertullian (who later left the Church) denied the virginity of Mary after Jesus' beginning. Origen (d 254), by way of comparison, taught Mary's perpetual virginity. In the East, St. Athanasius strongly defended Mary's virginity after the start of Jesus. Rapidly after, St.Basil the exceptional (d, circa 380) popular Mary's perpetual virginity and claimed that it contemplated the overall experience of believers, though he did no longer take into account it to be a dogma. Across the same time inside the West, Jovinian and Helvidius denied the perpetual virginity at the same time as Ambrose (d. 397), Jerome (d. 420) and Augustine (d. 430) staunchly defended it. This way Gospel as some Value not like Gospel of Thomas
Serapion of Antioch (translated Fragments)
For we, brethren, receive both Peter and the relaxation of the apostles as Christ Himself. But those writings which are falsely inscribed with their name, we as experienced persons reject, understanding that no such writings have been handed right down to us. While, certainly, I got here to see you, I supposed that every one were in accord with the orthodox religion; and, although I had not examine via the Gospel inscribed with the call of Peter which become introduced ahead by them, I said: If this is the most effective thing which threatens to provide unwell-feeling among you, let it's examine. But, now that i've learnt from what has been informed me that their thoughts changed into secretly cherishing a few heresy, i will make all haste to come back to you once more. Count on me therefore, brethren, quickly. Furthermore, brethren, we, having discovered to what sort of heresy Marcion adhered, and seen how he contradicted himself, not expertise of what he become speakme, as you may collect from what has been written to you -for, having borrowed this stated Gospel from those who had been familiar with it from consistent perusal, particularly from the successors of individuals who have been his leaders within the heresy, whom we call Docetae (for most of the evaluations held by him are derived from their coaching), we had been capable of study it through; and even as we found maximum of its contents to accept as true with the orthodox account of the Saviour, we located a few matters inconsistent with that, and those we've got set down beneath in your inspection.
Serapion saw that The Gospel of Was Read in Church, He opposed based on his view.
Theodoret On Heretical Fables 'The Nazaraeans are a type Jews who know that Christ is a righteous man, and use the Gospel entitled "according to Peter".'
Contents
This Gospel is said to be bit same as Gospel of Mark, but it tells us that Jesus did not had Physical body and had not leave a Foot print of Sand. The Current fragment Consist of Jesus trial and Crucifixion which Consist of Major Contradictions to The Four only Canonical Gospels.
Contradictions or some Variations to Bible and Ancient Lost texts.
It consists Around 30 Contradictions in such small text.
1. Herod was the one who condemned Jesus and gave order for Crucifixion instead of Pilate
2. None of the Jews, Herod, and the judges wash their hands, and later Pilate then raised the sitting.
3. Joseph was the friend of Pilate (But If he was his Friend he would not have begged for Jesus body for a long procedure like Pilate asked his solider to Check wheter Jesus has Died on Cross, He would have directly Granted him the Body.
4. Joseph begged for the body and Pilate had sent for permission from Herod and Contradicting Scripture, Eusbieus, Josephus accounts
5. The soldiers "pushed Jesus as they ran," (Docetics claiming Jesus had no Physical Body) Contradicting Canonical Gospels.

12. The Vinegar and gall instead of Vinegar
13. In the darkness around 3pm many people went about with lamps, and they fell down. This may not be happening because based on Gospels, People went back except Mary and some other followers.
14. The cry saying "My power, my power you have Forsaken Me" Instead of My God, My God because My Power here indicates Jesus didn't have Physical Body Which Contradicts Whole Bible and Ancient lost texts
15. It states that when Jesus had cried My Power Christ was taken up, Instead of dieing on Cross indicating Hersies saying Jesus didn't have Physical body.
16. Mention of the nails in the hands at the taking down from the cross here when we remove the body from cross obviously we should remove Nails from the hand or else his bones will be broken and Gospel of John records no Bones of Jesus were broken.
17. The earthquake occured when the body touched the ground... Based on the Gospel Earthquake occured when he cried out My God My God and he Died on Cross. When he died on Cross his leg didn't touch the Ground.
18. The joy of the Jews when the sun shone again. This however may not be Contradiction this information may be or may not be true.
19. Mary magdalene fled from the grave and did not see the Lord which Contradicts Gospel of John where Mary sees Jesus
20. there is no detail of any appearance of Jesus Christ for the first eight days after his death whereas Gospel states Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, Two disciples and 12 Apostles.

22. The centurion, the soldiers, and the elders rolled up the stone.
23. The elders also watched at the grave.
New Information
There are Many New Information Found here and the Above are Contradictions.
Problems Found on Identification
It is believed that there are two Gospel of Peter because Church Fathers Origen and Theodore quoted it Approvingly. Eusbieus and serapion of Antioch Considered it as work of Docetics. Origen Mentioned Infancy Part and Serapion Mentioned Ending Part were Doceticsm things started. So we cannot Cannot say It is one or true, So I conclude that this Text is Partially False because it contains some truth but also Different Version.
Discovery
This text was Discovered in Sand in Akhmin, Egypt along two Authentic fragments of Apocalypse of Peter and Book of Enoch. Some identify Apocalypse as II fragment of Gospel of (Pseudo) Peter. However, I disagree with that Point because Greek Peter's Apocalypse is similar to Ethopic Version. Apocalypse of Peter contains truth and Do not Contradict the Scripture. So, I conclude Apocalypse of Peter and Book of Enoch Canonical.
There is No Complete Text of This Book, However this Book is allegedly Fake and cannot be held as Scripture or do not have Scriptural authority unlike My Post in Ancient Lost writings column where book can be read Genuinely.
