When you read the Bible now it is important to remember what these people went through to bring God’s Word into your hands.  
I have never seen it all in one place like this.  I found it very interesting and hope you will also.  Many blessings to you.

He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos. The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey. He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully.

Just The leader of the church in Jerusalem, was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club.
* This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.

The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian

After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour.
The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors for two days until he expired.

Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. 
12Description: cid:image012.jpg@01CA5366.84261BA0Matthias The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot was stoned and then beheaded. 
   
13Description: cid:image013.jpg@01CA5366.84261BA0Paul Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters,  which taught many of the foundational doctrines of Christianity, form a large
portion of the New Testament.
Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are
indeed minor compared
to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles
disciples
during their times for the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated
of all men for my name's sake:
But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10:22
