TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:1-5 Jesus had clearly predicted persecution and hardship for his followers (Luke 11:49-51). For the first time since Jesus’ death, Roman authorities took direct violent action against the church. James, the brother of John, was one of the first called to be a disciple (Mark 1:16-20; Luke 5:1-11), and he was one of the first Christians to be martyred for his faith.
• King Herod Agrippa attacked the church (cp. Acts 12:20-23), a move that he found to be politically helpful with the Jewish people. The letter of James, the brother of Jesus, was probably written after this persecution to the scattered Christians (see 8:1-4; James Book Introduction, “Date of Writing”).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

δὲ

and

Luke is using the word translated Now to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατ’ ἐκεῖνον & τὸν καιρὸν

concerning that & ¬the time

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,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπέβαλεν & τὰς χεῖρας κακῶσαί τινας τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας

laid_on & ¬the /his/_hands /to/_mistreat some ˱of˲_the_‹ones› from the assembly

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. Alternate translation: “arrested some from the church, intending to harm them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐπέβαλεν & τὰς χεῖρας κακῶσαί τινας τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας

laid_on & ¬the /his/_hands /to/_mistreat some ˱of˲_the_‹ones› from the assembly

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”
