Matthew 10
Jesus begins this day with the calling of His 12 Apostles for the purposes of giving them the authority over demons. He is sending them out to preach and will be giving strict rules about what they should be doing and what they shouldn't.
Here, He is giving us the names of those he called and this serves two purposes, one, it is Matthew's proud account of his service in the gospel. But two, it served as an honest confession of what Roman leaders would use as Matthew admitting that all 12 were guilty of crimes that would eventually cost their lives.
Matthew continued ministering after the early church scattered due to persecution. Early historians suggest that he traveled to Ethiopia where the eunuch of Queen Candace, (we met him from the book of Acts) was busy establishing the Christian church in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Bible is the oldest manuscript available of God's word. It is in Ethiopia that Matthew was martyred by flaying. (Skinned alive)
Simon, the hothead disciple, who was later named Peter. Peter ministered around the Judeo Roman world. Peter's early church leadership had major issues when he wrongfully withdrew from ministering to Gentiles. It is said that Peter was martyred by being crucified upside down. Sadly, some use Peter as an excuse and openly use an upside down cross in their rituals. Doing so is straight up demonic, no matter what tradition teaches.
Andrew ministered as far away as Greece. So he stayed close to Peter but was traveling on his own as well. Little is known but what is known is that he was martyred by being tied, not nailed, to a cross. This actually entailed longer agonizing hours than a crucifixion using nails. And the beams he was tied to were in the shape of an ‘X’. It is known as Saint Andrew's cross.
James has the distinction of being the first Apostle to be martyred. King Herod had him beheaded and that account is found in the book of Acts. His is the only Apostle martyrdom we find record of in Scripture.
John, James’ brother, has the distinction of being the last Apostle to die. So the deaths of James and John ‘bookmark’ the age of the Apostles. Most sources say he died of old age.
Philip the Apostle worked mainly in the Asia Minor area of the world. He is not to be confused the Philip the deacon from Acts who baptized the Ethiopian eunuch. The Apostle Philip is said to have been martyred in Asia Minor, some say by stoning others by beheading.
Bartholomew, also called Nathaniel, preached in India and in regions around Armenia. King Astyages of Armenia was angered when Bartholomew converted his brother to Christianity and pursued him with a vengeance. Bartholomew's martyrdom was more of a wrathful murder than an execution as the King had him skinned alive, then prior to him dying of blood loss and trauma, the King ordered him beheaded.
Thomas, yes doubting Thomas, was traveling through India with the gospel. Thomas was martyred by being impaled on a spear while preaching. This was the common method of execution where it took place in Chenai, India.
James, son of Alphaeus called James the less or Little James. James has the distinction of having two differing accounts of his martyrdom. One claims he was crucified in Egypt while another claims he was stoned in Jerusalem.
Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot share the distinction that they were the only two Apostles who were martyred almost at the same time. If the method for Nathaniel was cruel Simon met that threshold tenfold. Simon was placed into a hollow log and was sawn in half like Isaiah the prophet was. Thaddaeus is said to have been stoned in Persia.
Judas Iscariot did not get martyred; he killed himself by hanging. In Acts, his place as an Apostle is removed and given to Matthias who himself was martyred by being stoned in 80 AD. Matthias we will discuss in our Acts study
later.
Now you know who they are, next we will discuss what they were given to do.
Matthew 10:1-4
[1] Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. [2] Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew; and James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; [3] Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; [4] Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who also betrayed Him.
