how did each one of the disiples die? of the 12 that are in the new testement in the bible?

Answer 1

ANDREW

Traveling to what is now modern-day Russia, to the "land of the man-eaters," Andrew preached Jesus to its inhabitants. Christians there claim that he was the first to bring them the gospel. It is also said that he preached in the Roman province of Asia (modern-day Turkey). Tradition also has him preaching in Greece, and says that he was crucified there.

BARTHOLOMEW

Tradition says that he went on missionary journeys to Southern Arabia and Ethiopia. That with Thomas he traveled to India, and also that he preached in Armenia. Accounts of his death vary, but all agree that he was martyred for the faith.

JAMES, THE SON OF ALPHEUS

James, the Son of Alpheus, is said to have proclaimed Jesus in Syria. Josephus (a Jewish historian writing for Romans; see also our page: Josephus On Jesus) reported that he was stoned and then clubbed to death.

JOHN

The only Apostle for certain never said to have been martyred, is the Apostle John. John became Bishop of Ephesus (a Greek City located in what is now modern-day Turkey). He was exiled to the Island of Patmos. There John was inspired by God to write the Book of Revelation. Tradition holds that this happened in a particular cave which you can still go and visit. Greek Orthodox Monks long ago built a Church and monastery over it.

MATTHEW

Matthew (Levi) was the tax collector who followed Jesus and later wrote the Gospel of Matthew. He preached in Persia and Ethiopia. There is disagreement as to whether or not he was martyred. According to some of the oldest sources, he was not martyred. Other sources hold that Ethiopia was the place where he died; and that he was stabbed to death there.

MATTHIAS

The other Apostles by casting of lot chose Matthias to take the place of Judas in an attempt to fulfill the Old Testament prophecy "...let another take his office" -Psalm 109:8, quoted in Acts 1:20 (however, some feel that the Lord Himself fulfilled this prophecy by replacing Judas with the Apostle Paul). Matthias is never mentioned again in Scripture. Tradition says that Matthias traveled to Syria with Andrew and was burned to death.

PETER

It is said that Peter asked to be crucified upside down in Rome, saying that he was not worthy to die in the same manner as his Lord. He was executed ca. 66 A.D. by the Roman Emperor Nero.

PHILIP

To the northern African city of Carthage, Philip is said to have brought the Gospel. It is also said that he led the wife of a Roman proconsul to the Lord, and that the proconsul was not pleased with this. It is said that he had Philip arrested, and executed with great cruelty.

SIMON THE ZEALOT

Simon, it is held, traveled to Persia. Tradition says that he refused to sacrifice to the Persian's sun god, and was killed because of it.

THOMAS

It is held that Thomas preached east of Syria. Tradition says that he proclaimed Christ in India, and founded the church of Mar Thoma. This church is still in existence today, and claims Thomas as its founder. In India they say that he then traveled to China and also preached the Gospel there, later returning again to India. Thomas is said to have died in India, killed by four soldiers armed with spears.

PAUL

The Roman Emperor Nero is said to have had Paul beheaded in Rome around 66 A.D.

Answer 2

nicely Moses wrote the previous testomony The Gospels seem to have been initially untitled; they have been quoted anonymously interior the 1st 0.5 of the 2d century (i.e. one hundred - a hundred and fifty) however the names via which they're at the instant universal look all of sudden around the year a hundred and eighty.[3] the 1st canonical gospel written is understood via maximum scholars to be Mark (c sixty 5-70), which became into in accordance to the final public used as a source for the gospels of Matthew and Luke Fireball> Sorry yet no that may no longer best. The bibles weren't even written 40 yrs after Christ's death and took till 185 for Bishop Irenaeus to declare Church could use the 4 in bible now because of the fact "There are 4 corners of the earth and four winds" (superb pagan reasoning there) and the Church did no longer make the 1st professional bible canon consisting of the 4 gospels till the turn of the 5th century

Answer 3

Within the Bible, we are only told how 2 of the 12 died. Judas, who betrayed Jesus, hung himself. And James, the brother of John, was killed by Herod. The New Testament closes with the remaining disciples still alive.

Tradition says that each of them , except the apostle John, was martyr (killed) for their faith.

An excellent source for information on the traditions about the other apostles is Fox's Book of Martyrs. You can get it free online at http://guttenberg.org

Answer 4

All but John were martyred for Christ. They believed so strongly in what they knew to be true; that they put their life on the line. No wonder Jesus promised them the 12 thrones.

James' death was recorded in the bible; of course the infamous Judas' too. All others deaths were recorded in church history through extra biblical sources. But are very reliable.

The original Twelve Apostles:

Answer 6

They did'nt.
Their descendants is still out there.
Just their identity was lost with time.
Luke 19.9-10
Need a lot of work to trace them out.
It. begin with the missing x-files.
Twelve of the descendants is still with us without anyone or themselves being aware of it.
One of the descendant of the dirty dozen can be trace is out there right under our nose.
With all the landmarks out there .
We can trace them.
How the generation migrate will need a lot of work in tracing them.
But the were out there.
The answers was expose by Genesis.
Ever wonder why all those landmarks left over from after world war two must be save for us to trace our footprints.
With the missing x-files as the instruction manual.
Ever wonder how Indiana Jones with Raiders of the Lost Ark were still digging up graveyards in the desert of the middle -east at the wrong location.
Luke 9.60
Ever wonder why we cannot mess up the original seven wonders of the world for the good of mankind.
The mystery was only expose after the mystery of us-911.

Answer 7

Read Foxes Book of Martyrs. Only the apostle John died of old age, despite many attempts to put him to death. They finally had to drop him off at Patmos to keep him from spreading the gospel. A perfect place to get front row seating for the Revelation scenario.

Answer 8

Off the top of my head some were crucified on a cross,others crucified upside down,others crucified on an X.
Maybe one was speared to death and Thomas i think was dragged to death.

Answer 9

Here's one list. He doesn't say where each tradition comes from. Presumably church historians, e.g. Eusebius etc recorded them.
