介绍（中）	石棺是在罗马帝国首次承认基督教为合法信仰的时候雕刻的。《圣彼得牢房中的岩石取水奇迹》和《圣彼得在罗马被捕》这两个传奇场景，左边用有力的深浮雕清晰地雕刻，是现存最早描绘彼得与罗马特殊关系的图像之一。1879年，当石棺被确认时，只有小腿幸存下来，右侧有基督生活的场景（见图）。对人物的错误识别导致了对低浮雕场景上部的不准确还原最初，石棺上装饰着基督生活中的四个场景：进入耶路撒冷、治愈天生失明的人、面包的繁殖和拉撒路的养育。在现代修复中，《治愈天生失明的人》被省略了，取而代之的是《进入耶路撒冷》中那个被吓坏了的小孩的脚。两端用低浮雕粗略地雕刻着两个旧约场景，预示着人类将得到基督的救赎：《火炉中的三个希伯来人》和《知识之树坠落后的亚当和夏娃》石棺被带到美国，用来装饰长岛的一处庄园Burrwood的庭院。
介绍（英）	The sarcophagus was carved about the time when Christianity was first recognized as a legal faith within the Roman Empire. The two legendary scenes of the Miracle of Saint Peter Drawing Water from a Rock in His Jail Cell and Saint Peter’s Arrest in Rome, crisply carved in powerful, deep relief at the left, are among the earliest surviving images depicting Peter’s special relationship with Rome. When the sarcophagus was identified in 1879, only the lower legs, with scenes from the life of Christ on the right, survived (see image). Incorrect identification of the figures led to inaccurate restoration of the upper portion of the scenes carved in low relief. Originally, four scenes from Christ’s life decorated the sarcophagus: the Entry into Jerusalem, the Cure of the Man Born Blind, the Multiplication of the Loaves, and the Raising of Lazarus. In the modern restoration, the Cure of the Man Born Blind was omitted, with the man’s feet used instead for the small, frightened child in the Entry into Jerusalem. Roughly carved in low relief on the ends are two Old Testament scenes foretelling mankind’s salvation by Christ: Three Hebrews in the Fiery Furnace and Adam and Eve after the Fall by the Tree of Knowledge. The sarcophagus was brought to America to decorate the grounds of Burrwood, an estate on Long Island.
