Herod’s Violence to the Church

1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.

2 Then he killed James ^athe brother of John with the sword.

3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during ^athe Days of Unleavened Bread.

4 So ^awhen he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four¹ squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.
