    How Did the Apostle Paul Die?

    The Apostle Paul’s writing and teaching to the early church through letters makes up the bulk of the New Testament. The Scripture gives us detailed information about his life, his conversion, and his ministry. But it says nothing about his death.

    Even historians debate the exact date or manner in which Paul died, but it is almost universally accepted that he was martyred. Based on historical events of the day, it is likely that Paul was beheaded, possibly around the same time that Peter was crucified. Given the political turmoil of the day, both apostles could have been caught up in a wave of attacks on Christians following a great fire in Rome.

    According to the Church historian Eusebius, St Paul was beheaded in Rome on the orders of the emperor Nero (c. 67 AD). While the Bible doesn’t record St Paul’s death as such, it tells us that he fully expected to be martyred and that through faith, he had made his peace with it.

    Part of this was because he was used to his life being in danger. In one of his letters, he described how he had been repeatedly beaten and shipwrecked, and even stoned (2 Corinthians ).

    Towards the end of his third missionär journey, a prophet named Agabus warned St Paul that if he went to Jerusalem, he would be arrested. He responded: “I am ready not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts ). After he arrived in the city, his visit to the temple sparked a riot. St Paul was then arrested by the Romans and imprisoned.

    After several years behind bars, he was transferred to Rome, where he lived beneath armed guard. As a Roman citizen, St Paul had asked to be tried
