Answer
The Bible tells us that James and Stpehen were killed, although Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the existence or martyrdom of Stephen.
Although various traditions, some of them remarkably imaginative, grew up during the second century onwards about the death of other apostles, we do not even know whether any other apostles were killed for their faith.
Many ofthe apostles were killed , and Paul to as killed. Peter was crcified on a cross upside down as he said he was not fit to die on the cross like Jesus with the head up. John was kept prisoner on the island of Patmos.
Not likely; the apostles were all Semitic Jews.
No, Judas who betrayed Our Lord is not a saint. All the other apostles are considered saints.
Jesus gave His apostles the authority, to preach all around the world. Jesus did this by sending them the Holy Spirit. After Jesus' death, the apostles were afraid to be killed, so they stayed in a small home. One day the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of tongues on fire. After this, all twelve apostles, could speak in different languages. This was so that they could preach the word of God to all Nations of the World.
All the Christian churches are continuing the work of the apostles.
Of the original 12 apostles, Judas, who betrayed Our Lord, is not a saint. All the other apostles are considered as saints.
The importance of the apostles, is that they are the ones to take Christianity to all ends of the world.
AnswerNo. The Acts of the Apostles is essentially a record of the supposed acts of Peter and Paul, perhaps even a subtle comparison of the two apostles. Apart from Stephen, who is not mentioned anywhere outside Acts, there is no real mention of the other apostles.
The terms "Apostles" and "Disciples" refer to different groups within early Christianity. The 12 Disciples are the followers of Jesus who learned from him and spread his teachings, while the 12 Apostles are specifically chosen by Jesus to be his closest emissaries and to carry out his mission after his resurrection. All Apostles were Disciples, but not all Disciples were Apostles. The distinction often highlights the Apostles' role in leadership and the establishment of the early Church.
The burial sites of all the apostles are not definitively known. However, some traditional beliefs and historical accounts suggest that some apostles were buried in various locations such as Jerusalem, Rome, and other places where they spread Christianity.
The apostles all came from Galilee and were mainly fishermen , even though Matthew was a tax collector.
All the apostles do agree that Jesus was born and died for us and rose again.
