What happened to the evangelists?

In: Christianity, New Testament [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

The authors of the four New Testament gospels are collectively known as evangelists. The gospels were originally written anonymously and were only attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John later, in the second century.

We do not know who the evangelists really were and we therefore do not know what happened to them after thet wrote the gospels. And we do not really know what happened to the apostles, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Christian traditions of persecution and martyrdom grew up in the centuries after their deaths, but there is no evidence to support these tradtions.
