10 of the disciples were killed for their lifestyle (preaching and living in self-supporting communities outside the roman kingdom). the most famous of these deaths is that of Simon peter. he was to be crucified, but refused to die the same way as christ, as to not be considered equal, so his executioners instead crucified him upside down. his wife was killed directly after him.

of the last two disciples, Judas iscariot committed suicide after making shady deals that lead to christ's death. and the last disciple, john, who was likely the youngest of them, was thrown into a boiling pot and scalded, but somehow survived, and was instead held in exile on the island of crete until he was really old, around 70 or so. he continued to write back and forth with the church as long as his body could.

After the death of Jesus, The Bible is silent about the fate of the Apostles. So nobody really knows for certain how the Apostles died. All the deaths of the Apostles as written in the Bible are mere conjectures by Christian Martyrologist.

. There is no sure answer to this question because the Bible does not give us this information.

All other information concerning the apostle John comes from secular history, primarily that maintained by the Catholic Church and should be considered with a "large grain of salt" because of the traditions of that church. I will present part of an article from the Catholic Encyclopedia to see what they have to say about the apostle John:"The Christian writers of the second and third centuries testify to us as a tradition universally recognized and doubted by no one that the Apostle and Evangelist John lived in Asia Minor in the last decades of the first century and from Ephesus had guided the Churches of that province.

"In his "Dialogue with Tryphon" (Chapter 81) St. Justin Martyr refers to "John, one of the Apostles of Christ" as a witness who had lived "with us", that is, at Ephesus. St. Irenaes speaks in very many places of the Apostle John and his residence in Asia and expressly declares that he wrote his Gospel at Ephesus (Adv. haer., III, i, 1), and that he had lived there until the reign of Trajan (loc. cit., II, xxii, 5). With Eusebius (Hist. eccl., III, xiii, 1) and others we are obliged to place the Apostle's banishment to Patmos in the reign of the Emperor Domitian (81-96). Previous to this, according to Tertullian's testimony (De praescript., xxxvi), John had been thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil before the Porta Latina at Rome without suffering injury.

"After Domitian's death the Apostle returned to Ephesus during the reign of Trajan, and at Ephesus he died about A.D. 100 at a great age.

"Tradition reports many beautiful traits of the last years of his life: that he refused to remain under the same roof with Cerinthus (Irenaeus "Ad. haer.", III, iii, 4); his touching anxiety about a youth who had become a robber (Clemens Alex., "Quis dives salvetur", xiii); his constantly repeated words of exhortation at the end of his life, "Little children, love one another" (Jerome, "Comm. in ep. ad. Galatians ", vi, 10). On the other hand the stories told in the apocryphal Acts of John, which appeared as early as the second century, are unhistorical invention. St. John the Apostle was the only apostle who did not die as a martyr, although they did try. Tradition says he died of natural causes - probably old age.
St. John the Apostle died of old age. St. John the Baptist was beheaded.

Which disciple did Jesus tell to tarry till he comes back?

A:There is a curious passage in John 21:22-23, where Jesus says to Peter thatif he wills thatthe 'disciple whom Jesus loved' (commonly assumed to be John)tarry until Jesus comes, what is that to Peter?This was a rebuke to Peter, not a command to the beloved disciple, nora prophecy that the beloved disciple would never die or be spared a martyr's death.The next verse saysthatthis saying went abroad, misinterpreted that the disciple should not die, yetJesus said not this, but "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"So, the statement was made to Peter and was about the "Disciple whom Jesus loved," commonly supposed to be the apostle John.
