In the biblical account, the Apostle Paul's story ends with his imprisonment in Rome. According to the Book of Acts, Paul was arrested in Jerusalem and subsequently sent to Rome under house arrest. During his time in Rome, Paul continued to spread Christianity, writing several of his epistles to various Christian communities. He was eventually martyred, traditionally believed to have been beheaded, around the year 67 AD during the reign of Emperor Nero.
Paul's death marked the end of his earthly ministry, but his teachings and influence had a profound impact on the early Christian church and continue to shape Christian theology and practice to this day. His letters, collectively known as the Pauline epistles, form a significant portion of the New Testament and are widely studied and referenced by Christians around the world.
