How the Apostles died?
Matthew : Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, killed by a sword wound
Mark : Died in Alexandria, Egypt, after being dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead
Luke : Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost
John : Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered from death. 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.
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.
James : Just 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.
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.
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.
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.
Thomas : Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the sub-continent.
Jude : Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.
Matthias : The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.
Barnabas : One of the group of seventy disciples, wrote the Epistle of Barnabas. He preached throughout Italy and Cyprus. Barnabas was stoned to death at Salonica.
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.

Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles during their times for the sake of the Faith.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake:Â But he that endureth to the end shall be saved. – Matthew 10:22

its stunning, we have to be strong and be more prepared for the coming persecution. since the LORD told us that he who endures to the last shall be saved. please email this context to my e mail.
Sadly, many of our brothers and sisters in faith endue similar things life the apostles did even today. In the 20th Century alone there are more martyrs for the faith then in all the centuries combined. This kind of thing will go on and on until the Second Coming. The greatest persecution that the Church will ever face will occur immediately before the Lord’s return. The world will relish over its belief that it has done away with the Church. And then Jesus returns. “When the Son of Man returns will he find faith on earth?â€
