Did you know that all except 1 of the 12 Disciples died violent deaths? Well, I thought you knew!
All the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ all died violent deaths which ranged from, stoning, crucifixion, beating to beheading except one, John who was cast into a cauldron of boiling oil, but escaped miraculously without injury. After the failed attempt to kill him violently, he was then banished to the isle of Patmos where he wrote the last book of the Bible, Revelation.
HOW THEY EACH DIED.
Paul.- He was beheaded during the reign of Nero.
Peter.- He was crucified upside down as he asked to be killed that way saying, he was unworthy to be crucified like Christ.
ANDREW.- He was crucified on a transverse cross at Edessa.
Mathias.- Who was elected to fill the vacant place of Judas Iscariot, was stoned in Jerusalem and beheaded.
Thomas.- He was thrust through with a spear and killed.
James.- At the age of 94, he was beaten, stoned and finally had his brain dashed out with a fullers club by the Jews.
Phillip.- He was crucified in A.D 54, after being scourged and suffered imprisonment.
Barthelomew.- He was martyred in Amenia.
Mark.- He was dragged to pieces by the people of Alexandria at the great solemnity of serapis, their idol.
Luke.- He was hanged on an olive tree by the idolatrous priest of Greece.
