According to the magazine, Christian Index, when Jesus told Peter to "feed my sheep," Peter was not the only apostle to heed the words of his Master and to suffer the terrible physical consequences. Although the fate of some of the apostles is historically unknown, tradition offers the following possibilities. Matthew was slain in a city of Ethiopia with a sword.
Mark died in Alexandria after being dragged through the streets. Luke was hanged upon an olive tree in Greece.
Peter was crucified at Rome, head downward.
