Hechos 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 12:3

And because he saw it pleased the Jews
That is, as Beza's ancient copy adds, "his stretching out his hands upon the faithful"; this pleased the Jews, a bloodthirsty generation of men, who had killed the prophets, and the Lord Jesus, and who were now greedy after the death of the apostles: it may easily be seen from what principle and spirit Herod acted; it was not out of regard to the Jewish religion, rites, and ceremonies, but to ingratiate himself into the affections of the people:

he proceeded further to take Peter also;
a principal apostle, and who was well known, and against whom the Jews had doubtless a particular antipathy, and would have been glad to have been rid of him; this Herod was, sensible of, and therefore to please them, ordered him to be taken up:

then were the days of unleavened bread;
or the feast of the passover.

Hechos 12:3 In-Context

1 En ese tiempo el rey Herodes hizo arrestar a algunos de la iglesia con el fin de maltratarlos.
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.
5 Pero mientras mantenían a Pedro en la cárcel, la iglesia oraba constante y fervientemente a Dios por él.
