Among Jesus' disciples, whose death⚰ is recorded in the Bible?
ANSWER: Apostle James
NOTE: James is the only apostle whose death is recorded in the Bible (Acts 12:2). James was "put to death with the sword" by King Herod, likely by beheading. Stephen was the first Christian to be martyred. He was stoned for his belief in Christ. The story of his death is found in Acts 7.
James Killed and Peter Imprisoned - Acts 12:1-5 ESV
About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. 2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword, 3 and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread. 4 And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.
