Persecution and Prayer
Acts 12:1-5
It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread. After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. (NIVUK)

Much historical background is available on King Herod Agrippa 1, a corrupt ruler of Israel with an equally corrupt family history.  Suffice it to say that he was neither respected in Rome nor Israel, and he sought whatever opportunity he could to gain popularity and cultivate his ego.  It was now acceptable to persecute the church and so Herod joined in, arresting some of the church leaders including the Apostle James.
