The end of Paul
Nobody is sure of how Paul dies, but many
scholars think that Paul may have been
beheaded by emperor Nero in Jerusalem. He
went there to preach despite told in a
prophecy that he would end up in prison.
When he arrived he was accused of breaking
the Jewish law. He put on trial and when they
could not plead guilty, he demanded a trial in
Rome. He was put under house arrest but still
continued to preach the gospel.
