Jan 4, 2022 · Eusebius claimed that Paul was beheaded at the order of the Roman emperor Nero or one of his subordinates. Paul’s martyrdom occurred shortly after much of Rome burned in a fire—an event that Nero blamed on the Christians. It is possible that the apostle Peter was martyred around the same time, during this period of early persecution of ...

Nov 10, 2023 · If he had been preaching the gospel of Jesus while under house arrest, Roman soldiers would have instantly understood that Paul was a Christian and had him executed. Therefore, Paul was likely martyred in Rome between 64 and 68 CE. If he was born in about 5 CE, he would have been in his 60s.

Paul's friends, indeed, are still suffered to visit him in his confinement in Rome, but we hear nothing of his preaching. It is dangerous and difficult (2Timothy 1:16) to seek his prison and so perilous to show any public sympathy with him. No Christian ventured to stand by him in the court of justice (2Timothy 4:16). As the final stage of his tria...
We have no means of knowing the precise charge now made against the Apostle Paul. He might certainly be regarded as an offender against the law which prohibited the propagation of a new and illicit religion among the citizens of Rome. But, at this period, one article of accusation against Paul must have been the more serious charge of having instig...
Under the Republic, a citizen of Rome like Paul could theoretically be tried on a criminal charge only by the Sovereign People. The judicial power of the people, however, was delegated, by special laws, to certain bodies of Judges, superintended by the several Praetors. Thus one Praetor presided at trials for homicide, another at trials for treason...
Such was the court before which Apostle Paul was now cited. We have an account of the first hearing of the cause from his own pen. Paul writes thus to Timothy immediately after. We see from this statement, that it was dangerous even to appear in public as the friend or adviser of the Apostle Paul. No advocate would venture to plead his cause, no pr...
Before such an audience it was that Paul was now called to speak in his defense. His earthly friends had deserted him, but his Heavenly Friend stood by him. He was strengthened by the power of Christ's Spirit, and pleaded the cause not of himself only, but of the Gospel. Paul spoke of Jesus, of His death and His resurrection, so that all the Heathe...
We are not left to conjecture the feelings with which Paul awaited his ultimate fate in Rome, for he has himself expressed them in that sublime strain of triumphant hope which is familiar to the memory of every Christian, and which has nerved the hearts of a thousand martyrs. Paul saw before him the doom of an unrighteous magistrate, and the sword ...
Sustained by such a blessed and glorious hope and knowing, as Paul did, that nothing in heaven or in earth could separate him from the love of Christ, it mattered to him but little if he was destitute of earthly sympathy. Yet still, even in these last hours, Paul clung to the friendships of early years, still the faithful companionship of Luke cons...
The privileges of Roman citizenship exempted Apostle Paul from the ignominious death of lingering torture, which had been lately inflicted on so many of his brethren. He was to die by decapitation. He was led out to execution beyond the city walls, upon the road to Ostia, the port of Rome. As Paul the martyr and his executioners passed on, their wa...
Paul[a] also named Saul of Tarsus, [b] commonly known as Paul the Apostle[7] and Saint Paul, [8] was a Christian apostle (c. 5 – c. 64/65 AD) who spread the teachings of Jesus in the first-century world. [9] For his contributions towards the New Testament, he is generally regarded as one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age, [8 ...

Additionally, secular history has yet to provide us with any definitive information. However, evidence highly suggests Paul's death occurred after his fifth missionary journey ended in 67 A.D. Paul was likely beheaded by the Romans, under Emperor Nero, sometime around May or June of 68 A.D. Nero himself died by suicide on June 9th of the same year.

According to tradition, Paul was granted the right of a Roman citizen to be beheaded by a sword, but Peter suffered the fate of his Lord ...
