When did St. Andrew die and live?
There are no records of when Andrew was born or when he died. He was probably about the same age as Jesus and was crucified in Greece probably in the middle of the first century.
When was Jesus' apostle John alive?
In spite of lurid tradition, we know nothing about the apostle John after the crucifixion. Various traditions describe the supposed deaths of the other apostles, sometimes in more than one location or by more than one means of execution. On the other hand, John is supposed to have lived a long life, perhaps in order to qualify him as the author of the Book of Revelation.According to popular tradition, John was the youngest apostle, and on that view would have been born early in the first century. It is said he lived to an old age, dying at Ephesus sometime after 98 CE.
Who was the oldest Apostle?
Peter was the eldest apostle by age and by status. He was the first that Christ came across when He began his ministry. The fact that he was the eldest apostle, by age and status, is evidenced by his correct answer to Christ's searching question later: "Who am I", to which Peter responded, "You are the son of God". Peter was old enough to answer wisely, and was blessed and charged with the keys to the gates of Heaven for his timely affirmation of the Messiah. St. Peter loved Christ more than any other apostle, but Christ loved St. John more, indicating that John perhaps was the youngest. Incidentally Peter is depicted in Christian art work through the ages as grayer haired than the rest, as is God.Here is the scripture of reference:Joh 1:42 And he (Andrew) brought him (Peter) to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Peter (Gk., Aramaic Cephas)."Another perspective:There is only one honest answer to your question: We don't know. The Bible doesn't give us the apostles' ages, or tell us what they looked like.
What was Saint John before he was an apostle?
St. John the Apostle, referred to as "The Beloved Apostle" is attributed as the author of the 4th Gospel, three Epistles, and the Book of the Apocalypse (Revelation). St. John was a Galilean, a son of Zebedee and the brother of James the Greater (also an Apostle) and with whom he was known as Boanerges ("Sons of Thunder") see Mark 3:17. John worked as a fisherman with his brother and was a presumed disciple of John the Baptist before following Jesus. Among the Apostles, he, James, and Peter formed Jesus' inner circle. They were present and witnessed the raising of Jairus' daughter Mark 5:37; the Transfiguration Matt 17:1; and the the Agony in the Garden Matt 26:37. Despite a reputation for being excitable (Mark 10:35-41 and Luke 9:54), St. John and his brother had reputations for being generous offering in Matt 20:22 to drink from Christ's cup. Moreover, John refers to himself when he wrote of "the disciple whom Jesus loved" resting his head on Christ's chest at the Last Supper, John 13:23; to whom Jesus trusted his mother, Mary, to care for at the Crucifixion and ran with Peter to the tomb after the Resurrection and proclaimed "It is the Lord!" when Christ revealed himself at Tiberias. St. John is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles with Peter at the Temple 3:1,11; before the Sanhedrin 4:1-21; in Samaria; St. Paul (Gal 2:9) terms John, with Peter and James, "pillars" of the Church at Jerusalem. Sacred tradition holds that John traveled to Ephesus. In time he was exiled to the island of Patmos because he boldly proclaimed the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and testified to the Lord's divinity. The exiled was ordered in the reign of Emperor Domitian. John wrote Revelation during this exile. Nerva allowed John to return to Ephesus at which time he composed the Gospel and Epistles. John died of old age, thus fulfilling Christ's prediction that John would not be martyred for the Faith. St. John's symbol is the eagle. His feast day is 27 December.
