The apostles of Jesus Christ, who spread Christianity after His resurrection and ascension, met various ends, with several facing martyrdom. Here’s a brief account of how each apostle died:

1. Peter (Crucified upside down in Rome, circa 68-70 AD): According to tradition, Peter requested to be crucified upside down, feeling unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus.
2. John (Exiled to Patmos, died of natural causes in Ephesus, circa 100 AD): John escaped martyrdom, was exiled to Patmos, and later returned to Ephesus, where he died peacefully.
3. James the Greater (Beheaded in Jerusalem, circa 44 AD): James was executed by King Herod Agrippa I.
4. James the Lesser (Thrown from the top of a temple in Jerusalem, circa 62 AD): Some accounts state he was then beaten to death with a fuller’s club.
5. Andrew (Crucified on an X-shaped cross in Patras, Greece, circa 60-70 AD): Known as the “St. Andrew’s Cross.”
6. Philip (Crucified in Phrygia, circa 80 AD): Some accounts mention he was also stoned.
7. Bartholomew (Flayed alive and crucified in Derbe, circa 70 AD): Suffered one of the most gruesome martyrdoms.
8. Thomas (Speared to death in Mylapore, India, circa 72 AD): Thomas established Christianity in India.
9. Matthew (Killed with a halberd in Nadaba, Ethiopia, circa 60-70 AD): Some accounts mention he was crucified.

1. Jude (Killed with arrows in Persia, circa 70 AD): Also known as Thaddeus.
2. Simon the Zealot (Crucified in Persia, circa 70 AD): Some accounts mention he was sawn in half.
3. Matthias (Stoned to death in Jerusalem, circa 63 AD): Chosen to replace Judas.

Judas Iscariot (Suicide by hanging, circa 33-34 AD): Betrayed Jesus.

These accounts vary, with some coming from early Christian writings and others from tradition. Despite the varying details, the apostles’ sacrifices demonstrate their unwavering dedication to spreading Jesus’ teachings.
