Acts of Peter

Acts of Peter martyrdom-4:1

Now Peter remained in Rome, and rejoiced with the brethren in the Lord, returning thanks day and night for the multitude which was daily added to the holy name by the grace of the Lord. And the four concubines of the prefect Agrippa also came to Peter, Agrippina, Nicaria, Euphemia and Doris. And they heard the preaching concerning chastity and all sayings of the Lord, and repented and agreed among themselves to abstain from cohabitation with Agrippa, but were troubled by him. When Agrippa became embarrassed and distressed — for he loved them very much — he had them watched and secretly observed, whither they went, and he found out that they went to Peter. When they came (back), he said to them, “that Christian has taught you not to have any communion with me. Know, then, that I will destroy you and burn that one alive.” But they were ready to endure anything by the hand of Agrippa, but would no more suffer themselves to satisfy his lust; they had become strong in the power of Jesus.
