Simon called Peter was crucified upside down in Rome on an x-shaped cross Matthew was killed with a sword in Ethiopia Mark (Marcus) was dragged through the street of Alexandria- Egypt by horses until he died Luke was hanged in Greece on an olive tree John was placed in a large basin of boiling oil in Rome. Then sentenced to the island of Patmos, he is the only apostle who died of old age, he died in Turkey James the just (Jesus’ brother) was thrown down over a 30 metre pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem. He survived the fall but when his persecutors realized he was still alive; they then beat him to death with a fuller’s club. This was the same place where Jesus was tempted by Satan James the greater was beheaded in Jerusalem. One of the guards; after hearing and watching him as he defended his faith, walked beside him. After being convicted by the undeniable truth, the soldier declared his faith in Jesus, knelt down next to James as to be beheaded with him. Bartholomew (Nathaniel) was flayed (skinned) to death with a whip and possibly crucified Andrew was whipped severely by seven soldiers, and then he was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras-Greece. The soldiers tied his body on the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His words as he was led to the cross were “I have long desired and expected this hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ on it”. He continued to preach to his tormentors for 2 days until he died. Thomas was ran through with a lance (spear) in India Jude (brother of Jesus) was shot to death with arrows Barnabas was stoned to death in Solanica Paul was imprisoned, tortured and then beheaded by Nero in Rome. This is according to Church tradition, but if this faith was just an invention, if we made it all up. Then couldnt at least one of them say Its a lie? these people were offered deliverance if they could deny His Name but none did.
