Find out what happened to the Twelve Apostles after the Resurrection of Jesus

Before the resurrection of Jesus, He said to his apostles, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations.” The disciples didn’t waste their time, because they already have a divine mandate to travel the world for the sake of the Gospel.
Immediately, they set their hand to the plow and began the difficult work of sowing seeds of faith everywhere they went.
So where did they end up ? How did they make a “disciples of all nations”?
Peter
Traditionally, it’s believed that Peter first went to Antioch and established a community there. But, he did not stay too long, and he is often known as the first bishop of Antioch. Afterwards, it is also believed that he visited Corinth before heading towards Rome.
While in Corinth, he helped to form the Christian community and was ultimately martyred in the Circus of Nero during the 64 AD in Rome. And Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican is built on top of St. Peter’s tomb.
Andrew

It is also believed that he preached to Greek communities and he was martyred at Patras on a cross in the shape of an X. Eventually, his relics were transferred to the Duomo Cathedral in Amalfi, Italy.
James the Great
It is also believed that James was the first apostle to be martyred. In the Acts of the Apostles it states, “Herod the king laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. He killed James the brother of John with the sword” (Acts 12:1-2).

In Revelation he writes from the island of Patmos, Greece, (Rev. 1:9), “I John, your brother, who share with you in Jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus”. He died during 100 AD and is buried near Ephesus.
