Saint Peter, a reluctant but passionate leader, from the crucifixion of Jesus to his own. The film's first half dramatizes the New Testament's "Acts": early fear, the renewal of Pentecost, Saul's conversion, the decision to baptize pagans, and the Apostles' dispersal. In the second half, an aged Peter goes to Rome to join Paul, arriving on the day of Paul's arrest. Paul's death brings a crisis to Rome's Christians and to Peter; lessons from Jesus's teachings guide his decision to stay. Events within the fictive household of Persius, a Roman aristocrat, capture the upheaval that Christian teachings bring to the Eternal City. 　　译文(2): 圣彼得，一个不情愿却充满激情的领袖，从耶稣受难到他自己。电影的前半部分戏剧化地表现了新约的“使徒行传”: 早期的恐惧，Pentecost 的复兴，扫罗的皈依，给异教徒施洗的决定，以及使徒的分散。下半场，一个上了年纪的彼得去罗马与保罗会合，在保罗被捕的那天到达。保罗的死给罗马的基督徒和彼得带来了危机; 耶稣的教导引导他决定留下来。罗马贵族 Persius 虚构的家庭内部发生的事件，捕捉到了基督教教义给这座永恒之城带来的剧变。
