The phrase that time implicitly refers to the time that Luke has just described, when the church in Antioch sent Barnabas and Saul to Jerusalem with money to help the believers there. Alternate translation: [at the time when the church in Antioch sent assistance to the believers in Jerusalem,]

The expression laid on hands means to arrest someone by association with the way that arresting officers might physically take hold of a person with their hands. See how you translated it in [5:18](../05/18.md). Alternate translation: [arrested some from the church, intending to harm them]

Herod most likely did not do this himself, Rather, as a ruler, he ordered his soldiers to arrest some from the church. Luke is speaking of Herod, one person who was involved in this action, to mean everyone who was involved. Alternate translation: [had his soldiers arrest some from the church, intending to harm them]
