James Killed, Peter Imprisoned
12 About that time, King Herod[fn] reached out to harm[fn] some who belonged to the church. 2 {He had} James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
3 And seeing that [this] pleased the Jews, [Herod] proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened [Bread].[fn] 4 He arrested [him] and put [him] in prison, handing [him] over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers [each]. [Herod] intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
12:1 That is, King Herod Agrippa
12:1 Literally put forth the hands to mistreat
12:3 Literally seize Peter—now these were the days of the Unleavened; see Exodus 12:14–20.
