Hechos 12:1

Listen to Hechos 12:1

Pedro escapa milagrosamente de la cárcel

1 En ese tiempo el rey Herodes hizo arrestar a algunos de la iglesia con el fin de maltratarlos.

Hechos 12:1 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 12:1

Now about that time
That the famine was in Judea, and Saul and Barnabas were sent thither with what the church at Antioch had collected.

Herod the king;
not Herod the great that slew the infants at Bethlehem, nor Herod Antipas that beheaded John, but Herod Agrippa; and so the Syriac version adds here, "who is surnamed Agrippa"; he was a grandson of Herod the great, and the son of Aristobulus: this prince

stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church;
Beza's ancient copy adds, "in Judea": it seems to be the church at Jerusalem; perhaps some of the principal members of them; and so the Ethiopic version renders it, the rulers of the house of God. It is scarcely credible that he should lay hands on any of them himself in person; but it is very likely he encouraged his soldiers, or his servants, to abuse them, reproach them, strike and buffet them, as they met with them in the streets; or when at worship, might disturb them, and break them up.

2 A Jacobo, hermano de Juan, lo mandó matar a espada.
3 Al ver que esto agradaba a los judíos, procedió a prender también a Pedro. Esto sucedió durante la fiesta de los Panes sin levadura.
4 Después de arrestarlo, lo metió en la cárcel y lo puso bajo la vigilancia de cuatro grupos de cuatro soldados cada uno. Tenía la intención de hacerlo comparecer en juicio público después de la Pascua.
