One tradition says James the son of Alphaeus was stoned to death (A.D. 62), and Hegesippus says he was clubbed to death (A.D. 66). Thaddaeus was reportedly martyred in Persia. He died via arrows. Tradition says that Simon the Zealot was crucified. It is believed that he ministered together with Thaddaeus. Judas hanged himself (Matthew 27:5) before Jesus Christ died by crucifixion (A.D. 33). His death is the second one that is recorded in the Bible. Conclusion: It is amazing that we know so little about the men who “turned the world upside down.” Jesus had prepared them and God used them in a powerful way to alert the world to His good news that Jesus Christ had come into the world to save sinners. These men gave their lives and died so that all could hear the good news that the forgiveness of sins is free to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ and accepts Him as Lord and Savior.
