At what age did Saint Jude die?

Answer 1

The date of Jude's death is not recorded in either scripture nor in tradition. It occurred sometime in the later first century in Persia.

The deaths of the apostles are not mentioned in The Bible except for Saint James whose death is mentioned in Acts chapter 12:

"Now at that time, Herod the king laid hands on some of those from the Church to harm them. So he executed James the brother of John with a sword."

Judas, of course, committed suicide so the above statement refers only to the post-Pentecost apostles when Matthias was chosen to take his place.

Answer 2

With the possible exception of Judas, we do not really know how or when any of the apostles died. During the second century, increasingly gruesome traditions arose regarding the martyrdom of each of the apostles, with some of them dying in multiple locations and in more than one different way. In this way, a tradition that arose about St. Jude is that he was killed in Beirut around 65 CE. We do not know when he was born, so we therefore do not know how old he would have been, even assuming the legend surrounding his death to be true.
