 Luke was supposedly hanged upon an

olive tree in Greece;

 Mark was dragged through the streets of

 John was put into a pot of boiling oil at

Rome but escaped death, and he afterward

died a natural death at Ephesus;

 Peter was crucified in Rome head

downward;

 James the Great was beheaded at

Jerusalem;
