Actually, there is no 'proof' for any of the recorded events in the New Testament, as they relate to the lives of the Apostles.

the bible tells about the execution of James in acts 12:1-2. also, the proof of the apostles are quite abundant and detailed. the historicity of the apostles begins as early as 90ad with Clement of Rome; who spoke of the writing of the gospels and the deaths of Peter, Paul,etc, Papias 110 ad, as well as Polycarp, Justin Martyr, etc.

Tradition can still be very reliable. Don't dismiss it so easily... Read this: Due to the division between the Protestants and the Catholics it is easy to condemn tradition because it is something that "only Catholics follow". Tradition can a be a rich and interesting thing to study; why throw out the baby with the bath water? Although most evangelical Christians adhere to sola scriptura (the view that the Bible is the only source of infallibility) this does not mean that Church tradition is not a source for truth. The early church fathers wrote great things about God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. They are well worth the read, but are almost avoided by Protestants because of their "Catholic ties". Did you know that at one point to be Christian was to be Catholic? Being Catholic simply meant "worldwide" or "united". You can now say the Nicene creed without feeling guilty! In my opinion we should not reject tradition, as there are many things to be learned from it.
