- Paul:
- St. Paul, after his release, is supposed to have visited Judea, in the way to which he left Titus at Crete ("For this² cause²¹¹ left¹ I²° theeª inª Crete,ª thatª thou shouldest set in orderª° the things that are wanting,ª° andª ordainª° eldersª in every² city,ª¹ asª Iª had appointedª° thee:ª" {Tts 1:5}), and then returned through Syria, Cilicia, Asia Minor, and Greece, to Rome; where, according to primitive tradition, he was beheaded by order of Nero, ad 66, at Aquae Saiviae, three miles from Rome, and interred in the Via Ostensis, two miles from the city, where Constantine erected a church.
