There is no “apostolic tradition.” The apostles were godly men that obeyed their Lord, and avoided creating any tradition but for the following of the instructions that they wrote down in the Gospels.

Unfortunately, when John died, there were no more apostles to keep the people on the straight track; their mission was complete.

That is a fascinating account, but I am not familiar with it. Since it is not Scriptural you are going to have to tell me where you learned it.

I am also curious to know how it is you believe that the Apostles taught the "Good News" between receiving their commission and the writing of the Scriptures. There were 13 Apostles(the original 11 plus St. Matthias and St. Paul). All were commanded to got forth and preach the Gospel to all nations, but we only have Scripture from five of them.
