Did they continue to believe in Him? And does the Bible tell us how they died? Jesus’ 12 disciples (with the exception of Judas, who betrayed Him and then took his own life) not only continued to believe in Him, but they spent the rest of their lives telling others about Him.

Many wonder how the 12 apostles died, but The New Testament tells of the fate of only two of the apostles: Judas, who betrayed Jesus and then went out and hanged himself, and James the son of Zebedee, who was executed by Herod about 44 AD . Read how each of the apostles spread out to minister and evangelize and how many of the apostles died for their faith.

These following accounts are fact, opinion, or beliefs. My father gave me this information years ago; and, I do not know where he obtained it.

1. John died of old age.

2. Judas Iscariot hanged himself.

3. Peter was hung on a stake, head down by Nero.

4. Andrew died on a stake at Patrae.

5. James was thrown from a pinnacle of the Temple and then beaten to death.

6. Bartholomew was flayed alive.

7. James was killed by the sword.

8. Thomas was pierced through with a lance.

9. Philip was hanged against a pillar at Heropolas.

10. Thaddeus was pierced with arrows.

11. Matthew was pierced with a sword.

12. Simon died on a stake.

Only one died of old age. It goes to show the commitment and consequence of following Christ truly is to die to self.
