The Bible does not say where or how Paul was killed. Clement of Rome, writing approximately 95 CE, perhaps just before Acts of the Apostles was written, provides the earliest mention of the death of Paul, showing that there was not yet a tradition that Paul had been killed (1 Clement 5:5-6):

"By reason of jealousy and strife Paul by his example pointed out the prize of patient endurance. After that he had been seven times in bonds, had been driven into exile, had been stoned, had preached in the East and in the West, he won the noble renown which was the reward of his faith, having taught righteousness unto the whole world and having reached the farthest bounds of the West; and when he had borne his testimony before the rulers, so he departed from the world and went unto the holy place, having been found a notable pattern of patient endurance."
