What happened to the apostles

Someone want to tell me why there’s 14?

Oh, and interesting how many ended up in Europe. Or at least are said to have done.

Dicey business, this apostling.

Ancestry or 23AndMe maybe?
Oh, wait...

To be clear this map is NOT very accurate, but interesting nonetheless.

This one is a bit more accurate.

What do you mean, you don't want to be "filled with arrows" or "thrust with a spear" or "crucified upside down"?

James is so less, they didn't even bother with the ER.

I'll take 'natural causes' for $1000.

@jon-nyc When Judas committed suicide his place was taken by Matthias. His authenticity always has been doubtful.
Paul is #14, but he never met Jesus in person.
Roman Catholics are inclined to take 12 apostles into account, and add either Matthias or Paul.
The orthodox church officially recognises 70 apostles.

Thanks. From what I’ve read Paul did the most to spread it, at least to power centers of the time. I don’t think I knew he wasn’t among the original crew.
