I agree!

Twelve tribes and twelve prophets is more than enough!

Toto:The problem is that the Gospel of Peter is not only fragmentary, but contains obvious fantasies - a Cross that comes out of the Empty Tomb and speaks - what's that all about?
Doesn't the rest of the NT contain obvious fantasies? Virgin births, water into wine, demons into pigs, resurrections.....
