How the Apostles Died:

Killed By a Sword Wound.

2. Mark: Died in Alexandria, Egypt, After Being
Dragged by Horses Through The Streets Until He
Was Dead.

Tremendous Preaching to The Lost.

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 Serve As Bishop
of Edessa in Modern Turkey. He Died as An Old
Man, The Only Apostle to Die Peacefully.

5. Peter: He Was Crucified Upside Down On An X-
Shaped Cross. According to Church Tradition it
Was Because He Told His Tormentors That He
Felt Unworthy To Die In The Same Way That
Jesus Christ Had Died.

6. James: The Leader of The Church in Jerusalem
Was Thrown Over a Hundred Feet Down From The
Southeast Pinnacle of The Temple When He
Refused to Deny His Faith in Christ. When They
Discovered That He Survived The Fall, His
Enemies Beat James to Death With a Fuller's
Club.
* This Was The Same Pinnacle Where Satan Had
Taken Jesus During The Temptation.

7. James The Great: Son of Zebedee, Was a
Fisherman By Trade When Jesus Called Him to a
Lifetime of Ministry. As a Strong Leader of The
Church, James Was Ultimately Beheaded at
Jerusalem. The Roman Officer Who Guarded
james Watched Amazed As James Defended His
Faith at His Trial. Later, The Officer Walked
Beside James to The Place of Execution.
Overcome By Conviction, He Declared His New
Faith to The Judge and Knelt Beside James to
Accept Beheading as a Christian.

8. Bartholomew: Also Known as Nathaniel Was a
Missionary to Asia. He Witnessed For Our Lord in
Present Day Turkey. Bartholomew Was Martyred
For His Preaching in Armenia Where He Was
Flayed to Death by a Whip.

9. Andrew: Was Crucified On An X-Shaped Cross
in Patras, Greece. After Being Whipped Severely
by Seven Soldiers They Tied His Body to The
Cross With Cords To Prolong His Agony. His
Followers Reported That, When He Was Led
Toward The Cross, Andrew Saluted It in These
Words: 'I Have Long Desired and Expected This
Happy Hour. The Cross Has Been Consecrated by
The Body of Christ Hanging on it.' He Continued
to Preach to His Tormentors For Two Days Until
He Expired.

10. Thomas: Was Stabbed With a Spear in India
During One of His Missionary Trips to Establish
The Church in The Sub-Continent.

11. Jude: Was Killed With Arrows When He
Refused to Deny His Faith in Christ.

12. Matthias: The Apostle Chosen to Replace The
Traitor Judas Iscariot, Was Stoned and Then
Beheaded.

13. Paul: Was Tortured And Then Beheaded by
The Evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul
Endured a Lengthy Imprisonment, Which Allowed
Him to Write His Many Epistles to The Churches
He Had Formed Throughout The Roman Empire.
These Letters, Which Taught Many of The
Foundational Doctrines of Christianity, Form a
Large Portion of The New Testament.
