Paul was the ultimate disciple and herald of the mission of jesus. We don't know for sure ow and when paul died. The book of acts leaves off with paul in rome, alive. And well, around the year 62, he's awaiting trial before crazy emperor nero. If i were a betting man, i'd put money on this statement from clement being a reference to the awful round-up of christians in d 64. At my first defence, no one came to support me but every one deserted me,. But we must be among paul's last words: 'I have been forgiven by god'
