Apocalypse of Peter 8

Vision of Hell

The Savior answered me: 'He whom you saw serene and smiling upon the tree, that one is the Jesus in life.'

2'But he whose hands and feet they pierced with nails, that one is his bodily part, that is, his substitute exposed to shame.'

3'Look at Him and at me!' But I, after having looked, said: 'Lord, no one sees You, let us flee from here!'

4But He said to me: 'I told you that they are blind. Leave them alone! You perceive how little they understand what they say.'

5And I saw, approaching us, one who resembled Him, exactly like that one who was smiling upon the tree. He was full with the Holy Spirit, He is the Savior.

6There was a strong and inexpressible light that enveloped them and an ineffable and invisible multitude of angels who praised them.
