Paul had been arrested in Palestine for his preaching of Christianity and held for trial. As he was a Roman citizen he had the right to appeal to the emperor and did so. He was sent as a prisoner to Rome for his trial. For quite some time he was held prisoner until Nero decided to launch a persecution of all Christians and Paul, according to 2000 years of Church tradition, was beheaded.

∙ 8y agoThere is no evidence that St Paul was ever beheaded. Although it does appear that he was imprisoned, there is no available evidence that he was even executed. Some suggest that after his trial, he travelled to Spain as he appears to have intended. He may even have died peacefully of old age.
