How did the Disciples Die?

Hey Samuel,
The Lord Jesus said that all the disciple would die a martyr's death except one, John, the beloved disciple. Eventhough John did not die a Martyr's death he was boiled in oil and later exiled to the isle of Patmos. One verse that keeps coming to my head is John 16:33, which says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." As you read on, remember that their lives were an example to us, to live our lives all to HIM.
1. Andrew - crucified
2. Bartholomew - beaten then crucified
3. James, son of Alphaeus - stoned to death
4. James, son of Zebedee - beheaded
5. John - exiled for his faith; died of old age
6. Judas (not Iscariot) - stoned to death
7. Matthew - speared to death
8. Peter - crucifed upside down

Paul who was a key person in the writing of the new testament also was martyred. He was beheaded. In Philippians 1:21 he states, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain."
Lets live for Him
