In the medieval Toledot Yeshu folklore and traditions '''St. Peter''' (Shimeon Kepha Ha-Tzadik) has a pristine reputation as a greatly learned and holy man who established the Sunday Sabbath for [[God-Fearers]] (converted from among Gnostic heretics known as the watchers) instead of Saturday in the absence of the [[Yoveil]], Noel (as a new year feast but not as Christmas) instead of [[Hanukkah]], the Triumph of the Cross instead of [[Rosh Hashana]], Pascha instead of [[Pesach]], [[The Circumcision]] {{Bibleverse||John|7:2|49|}} instead of [[Sukkot]] (The Jewish tradition places the birth of Peter's Rabbi [[Anush Uthra]] in September rather than December), and the [[Ascension]] for them instead of [[Shavuot]]. Orthodox Jewish author R. [[Harvey Falk]] (NY) wrote that R. [[Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg]], who led Germany's 12th-century [[Chasidei Ashkenaz]], considered him to be a ''Tzaddik'' (a Jewish saint or spiritual Master among [[Hasidim]]). The Tosaphist [[Rabbeinu Tam]] wrote that he was "a devout and learned Jew who dedicated his life to guiding gentiles along the proper path". Tam also passed on the traditions that St Peter was the author of the Sabbath and feast-day ''[http://headcoverings-by-devorah.com/Nishmat.html Nishmat]'' prayer, which has no other traditional author, and also that he authored a prayer for [[Yom Kippur]] after appearing before the Sanhedrin in order to prove his commitment to Judaism despite his work amongst Gentiles.

Peter was instrumental in helping his new Noahides (first of all in Antioch) to establish not churches, but the courts of law required of them, and he himself acted as the required Jewish Abbot in such [[Bet Din]]s. This is how Peter came to be called Pope among the Umot Ha Olam.

Peter himself belonged to the Jerusalem synagogue whose Nasi was Jakov Ha-Tzadik.

Others argue that Jakov was from the House of Jesse side of the family and equivalent to Israel's Exilarch at the time. In any event he was not much involved in Shimeon Kefa's work. Peter's right-hand man was an ex-Shammaite who had come around to the Hillelite way of thinking that the Jerusalem Synagogue promoted and went by the name of Saul of Tarsus. Sadly his hard-line Shammaite past reputation turned out to be a thorn in his side that hindered Peter's work rather than helped it.

Tam further maintained that Peter was the author of the Nishmat prayer recited on Sabbaths and Festivals, as well as a prayer for Yom Kippur (Mahzor Vitry, edited by S.Hurwitz, 1923, p.285 note 5 and p. 362 note 5.

The Toledoth Y.S.W also praises Peter as a greatly learned and pious man dedicated to saving Israelites from heresy and guiding gentile followers of displacement theology into Noahism. The appearance of R. Yehuda the Pious in some versions [1] makes it likely that the Tosafists were responsible for circulating the Toledoth Y.S.W..

Peter's mission to the Hellenes was headed by Gamaliel's Benjaminite student Saul of Tarsus the Pharisee of the Manumitted Idumean Synagogue and whose efforts in Peter's direction were complimented by R. Jacob Emden in the Seder Olam Rabbah Vezuta.

Peter was officially instated as an Av Beit Din in Antioch by Theophilius on February 22nd. The Toledoth Y.S.W. also recalls Peter in Antioch and his elevated throne.

Many Magi of Mithrea who had been decieved into the anti-mishnah heresies of the Notzrim were retrieved to Noahism by Simon Peter. Those Notzrim who Peter failed to convert became the Mandaeans. The Marcionites were the failed result of Paul's mission among them.
