Biography
Nothing is known about this disciple of Jesus of Nazareth, except that according to the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke-Acts, he was one of the Twelve.
Later Christian Tradition
Christian tradition presented Bartholomew preaching in India, or in other countries, such as Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, Armenia, Lycaonia, Phrygia, and on the shores of the Black Sea.
He was said to be martyred at Albanopolis, Armenia, being beheaded or skinned alive. His supposed relics are preserved in the church of St. Bartholomew-in-the-Island, at Rome.
As Bartholomew is associated with Philip, he was sometimes identified with Nathaniel, who is also mentioned in the Gospel of John in association with Philip (John 1:45-51; 21:2).
