Insecure Herod Agrippa 1 had recently gained public support for killing James (Acts 12:1-3). Now he also wanted to kill Peter so he put him in prison until after the Jewish feast of Passover, lest the Jews would be offended by a public execution during their sacred festival – like Jesus a few years previously (Matthew 26:3-5). Meanwhile, the church was praying earnestly for Peter's safe release (Acts 12:5). What would happen? Well, Peter's work was not finished, and Jesus had promised that he would live to an old age (John 21:18) - so God intervened.
