Acts 12:1-19

Acts 12

Introduction

There were a number of Herods

Herod the Great did a number of public works projects. And, knowing that the Jews were all about Temple-based worship, he built and expanded the Temple.

As long Herod and his descendants were able to keep the Jews in line, Rome allowed them to be in power. Herod was an Edomite, a descendant of Esau

Verses 1-5

The Herod in Acts 12 is Herod Agrippa I, a grandson of Herod the Great

James, the brother of John, was the first martyr of the original disciples. (John, the writer of Revelation, was the last)

“When he saw that it pleased the Jews” Peter was arrested as well; this was during Passover.

Verses 6-17

As we saw in Acts 4 and 5, being in jail was no new thing for Peter

Peter was being prayed for.

After Peter was released, he gave all the credit to the Lord.
