Paul is left preaching in Rome awaiting trial. Legends tell us that Peter suffered martyrdom at Rome, crucified upside down during the Neronian period. This legend of Peter's death is accepted by many scholars. Ancient writers agreed Paul died in Rome - possibly beheaded as was the custom of the times, while others say that Paul undertook some journeys not mentioned in the book of Acts, including a trip to Spain. The Apostle John was thought to have been exiled to the isle of Patmos, while others claimed he was killed in a pot of boiling oil.
Further stories take the Apostles to Spain and India.
The legends grew into wonderful stories that became history in many of these countries. St James in Spain and St Thomas in India. While there is no proof that the other Apostles traveled to spread the Gospel we can be sure that many did give up their lives, families and careers to make sure the message of salvation continued on.
