IS THERE PROOF THE APOSTLES WENT TO THE NATIONS?
By: doug Date: March 9, 2026, 12:10 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Someone made a few claims about the apostles.
People want to believe the twelve apostles went to the nations,
why?
[Mark 16:14 KJV] "Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they
sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness
of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him
after he was risen."
[Mark 16:15 KJV] "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
[Mark 16:16 KJV] "He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned."..........could it be they want a verse to uphold
everyone being water baptized?
[Mark 16:17 KJV] "And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak
with new tongues;"..........could it be they want confirmation
that tongues are a sign of being saved?
[Mark 16:18 KJV] "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands
on the sick, and they shall recover."
[Galatians 2:9 KJV] "And when James, Cephas, and John, who
seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto
me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship;
that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the
circumcision."...........the apostles decided not to go to the
heathen, how could it be said they did?
CLAIM 1 Peter: Preached in Antioch and Rome, where he was
martyred 64-67 AD. (as commissioned by Christ, besides an
Apostle to the Jews, Peter was also an Apostle to the Gentiles
as well)
"There is no solid evidence—textual or even archaeological—that
Peter died in Rome.".......... from the Biblical Archeology
Society
"That St. Peter taught and died and Rome is a tradition of the
Catholic Church, ".........from EWTN
Britannica said the first evidence of Peter's death in Rome came
from a letter written by Ignatius, a catholic bishop.
I couldn't find any historical evidence outside of letters from
Clement and Ignatius, who being Catholics makes their claims
dubious.
There is no evidence that Peter's bones were found under the
Basilica. "Antonio Ferrua, the archaeologist who headed the
excavation that uncovered what the Catholic Church says is Saint
Peter's Tomb, said he was not convinced the bones found were
those of Saint Peter"....... from Legacy.com
CLAIM 2 James the Greater (Son of Zebedee and brother of John):
Preached in Spain and was martyred in Jerusalem 44 AD.
I could find no historical evidence other than those of Catholic
origin.
" All the association with relics associated with him supports
that this is Catholic tradition".........from New Advent
CLAIM 3 Philip: Preached in North Africa and Asia Minor, and
martyred in Hierapolis, Turkey 60s-70s AD.
This all the Bible has to say of Philip's missionary journeys:
Philip, driven by the Spirit, went down to a city in Samaria and
proclaimed Christ to the people there (Acts 8:5)
Philip's evangelistic journey continues as he is directed by an
angel of the Lord to go south to the road that descends from
Jerusalem to Gaza.
After baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch, Philip is supernaturally
transported by the Spirit of the Lord to Azotus (a city in
Israel). From there, he continues to preach the Gospel in all
the towns until he reaches Caesarea.
I found no historic account of missionary journeys elsewhere.
In regard to Philip being martyred in Hierapolis, Turkey 60s-70s
AD., that rests on a claim of finding his tomb there:
"The remains of the apostle Philip are no longer in the tomb,
however. According to D’Andria, the saint’s relics were very
likely moved from Hierapolis to Constantinople at the end of the
sixth century and then possibly taken to Rome and placed in the
newly dedicated Church of St. Philip and St. John (now the
Church of the Holy Apostles), although 12th-century reports
describe seeing Philip’s remains still in Constantinople, the
seat of Christian Turkey"..........Biblical archaeology society
