    Andrew isn’t mentioned much in the Bible—and there’s even less information available about the circumstances of his death. But here’s what National Geographic has to sayabout it:

    We actually do have some biblical scripture to back this one up, from Acts chapter 12, 1-2: And that’s that. Herod was a bad dude.

    Very little is known about Bartholomew’s death. Some sources simply say he was martyred, while others say he was skinned alive and beheaded. One source says he was “flayed with knives.” “Flayed” can mean to simply peel skin off, but it can also reference skin being removed because of severe beating or whipping. And indeed, another hypothesis sugges...

    People seem to disagree on the circumstances of Philip’s death. One source suggests he was hung until dead, another suggests crucifixionduring his ministry in Egypt. People were not big fans of Christian missionaries back then.

    Every source I can find on Thomas’s death suggests he was stabbed with a spear somewhere during his ministry in India. Yikes.

    This Christian websitesays that Matthew “became a missionary and was arrested in Ethiopia. It was there that he was staked or impaled to the earth by spears and then beheaded. Not much beyond this is known since Matthew was in such a remote place in Africa and went where few historian[s] or Christians ventured to go.” National Geographic gives a sl...

A less-peaceful death than our first theory. Theory 3: He was a missionary in Africa, and then England, where he was crucified around 74 AD.

    The Bible helps us out with this story as well. Matthew 27:3-5says … BUT Acts 1:16-19 gives us a totally different pictureof his death: In the Latter-day Saint faith I think we’re more accustomed to the hanging theory, but who knows. It doesn’t really matter in the end.

    It’s interesting to know a little bit more about how these apostles died, but it’s eternally more important to study what they did and taught throughout their lives. The letters of Peter, the Gospel According to St Matthew and St John, etc. That’s where the good stuff is. If you haven’t taken the time to study the lives of these men and the master ...

  4. Simon the Zealot (Acts 1:13), Simon, who was called the Zealot (Luke 6:15), Simon Kananaios (Matthew 10:4) or Simon Cananeus (Mark 3:18) was one of the most obscure among the apostles of Jesus.
