    4. 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
    5. 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.
    6. James
    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.
    7. James the 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.
    8. 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.

    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.
    10. Thomas

    The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.
    13. 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.
    14. Simon the Zealot
    Simon was traditionally martyred by being sawn in half.
    15. Philip
    Philip evangelized in Phrygia where hostile Jews had him tortured and then crucified upside down. Some sources
    have him being stoned
    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 and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of
    all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
    Pass on to encourage other Christians.
