Bible Question: How did Paul die? A recent tv documentary said something about him never being martyred (which I thought he had been), and possibly living to be an older an. Could you provide this information, i.e. scripture verse, documentaries or whatever can help to know this? Thanks much. |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Marj, The following information is taken from Peloubet's Bible Dictionary, Pgs. 494-495: 1) Paul was imprisoned twice, the first imprisonment being recorded in Acts 28:16-31. This occurred A.D. 60-62. His "prison epistles" were written during this time - Philemon; Colossians; Ephesians; Philippians. According to the general opinion the apostle was liberated from imprisonment at the end of two years, having been acquitted by Nero A.D. 63, and left Rome. He spent some time in visits to Macedonia, Greece, Asia Minor and Spain, and during the latter part of this time wrote the letters to Timothy and Titus from Macedonia. After these were written he was apprehended again and sent to Rome. 2) The second imprisonment at Rome occurred, A.D. 66-67. The apostle appears now to have been treated not as an honorable state prisoner, but as a felon (2 Tim. 2:9); but he was allowed to write the second letter to Timothy, A.D. 67. For what remains we have the concurrent testimony of ecclesiastical antiquity that he was beheaded at Rome, by Nero, in the great persecutions of the Christians by that emperor, A.D. 67 or 68. 3) The following websites are provided for additional reference/information: 1) http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Ithaca/7730/Christian_martyrs/Paul.html 2) http://www.yfiles.com/disciples.html 3) http://www.direct.ca/trinity/disciples.html Mike |
