Acts 12:17 Beckoning . . . to hold their peace. Their joy was so tumultuous that he could not be heard. Go shew these things unto James. Not the apostle, but the brother of the Lord, so conspicuous after this as the pastor of the church at Jerusalem. Peter's message seems to recognize the fact that he was a leading man. Perhaps the apostles had retired from the city for fear of Herod. For notices of James, see Acts 15:13 21:18 Ga 1:19 2:9,12.
