==Acts== {{Main article|Acts of the Apostles (genre)}} Several texts concern themselves with the subsequent lives of the apostles, usually with highly [[supernatural]] events. Almost half of these, anciently called ''The Circuits of the Apostles'' and now known by the name of their purported author, "[[Leucius Charinus]]" (supposedly a companion of John the apostle), contained the Acts of Peter, John, Andrew, Thomas, and Paul. These were judged by the [[Patriarch Photios I of Constantinople]] in the ninth century to be full of folly, self-contradiction, falsehood, and impiety. The ''Acts of Thomas'' and the ''Acts of Peter and the Twelve'' are often considered Gnostic texts. While most of the texts are believed to have been written in the 2nd century, at least two, the ''Acts of Barnabas'' and the ''Acts of Peter and Paul'' are believed to have been written as late as the 5th century. * [[Acts of Andrew]] * [[Acts of Barnabas]] * [[Acts of John]] * [[Acts of Mar Mari]] * [[Acts of the Martyrs]] * [[Acts of Paul]] * [[Acts of Paul and Thecla]] * [[Acts of Peter]] * [[Acts of Peter and Andrew]] * [[Acts of Peter and Paul]] * [[Acts of Peter and the Twelve]] * [[Acts of Philip]] * [[Acts of Pilate]] * [[Acts of Thomas]] * [[Acts of Timothy]] * [[Acts of Xanthippe, Polyxena, and Rebecca]] * [[The Lost Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles]] * [[Acts of John in Rome]] * [[Acts of Andrew and Bartholomew]] * [[Acts of Andrew and Matthias]] * [[Act of Peter]] * [[Acts of Thaddeus]] * [[Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity]]
