John faced martyrdom when he was boiled in a huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered from death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos. The Apostle John was later freed and returned to what is now modern-day Turkey. He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully.

John is the only one of the company generally thought to have died a natural death from old age. He was the leader of the church in the Ephesus area and is said to have taken care of Mary the mother of Jesus in his home. During Domitian's persecution in the middle 90's, he was exiled to the island of Patmos. An early Latin tradition has him escaping unhurt after being cast into boiling oil at Rome, so he came close!

Symbolically speaking it was John as he authored works in Revelation.
The 12 diciples Symbolicaly represented mans 12 characteristics. As the 12 were representations of reality within mankind, and not literal in the physical sense, yet still as Valid as any personality, none were "put to death" as this too is symbolism.
The entire works of truth are in plains sight for those whom read in symbolic form and look to other areas outside of any bible.

John. Although tradition says they tried to kill him by boiling him in oil but it didn't take.

Linnie, technically boiling in oil is fry. I would be interested to know if it was a deep or shallow fry.
