Little is known about St. Luke after he wrote the Acts of the Apostles, though some traditions claim he died a martyr's death.
Nearly ever apostle who walked closely with Jesus on earth died a gruesome death. They freely gave their lives out of love of Jesus Christ and refused to renounce their faith.
St. Luke, author of a gospel and companion of St. Paul, is not one of the twelve apostles. He was a convert to the Christian faith after Jesus' death and resurrection.
