Question
hi. i was wondering what happened to all the other apostles. we know that john died of a ripe age and peter was crucificied upside down. what about the others?

thanks

Answer
All that was written about the rest of the Apostles is conjecture.

Their intent of being sent disciples was to proclaim the life and victory of Jesus Christ.  The message is always about Him and not those who proclaim Him.  Taking care of us and exalting us is up to God's action

James 4:10
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
(from New International Version)
