That all of the Apostles of Jesus Christ, except for the Apostle John... were martyred? Yes, they all were. According to tradition, James was killed by the sword in 45 A.D. Peter was crucified ( tradition has it... upside down in 64 A.D. ). Thomas was burned alive in 70 A.D. Even the Apostle Paul was beheaded in 69 A.D. John... the beloved Apostle... was the only one to die a natural death. How dearly did these stalwarts of sanctity, pay for their faith in Jesus Christ. Would you and I die for the sake of Jesus and His Gospel? These men answered, "Yes... undeniably!"
