Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 12:1-25

The Expansion of The Church As A Result of Persecution (8:1-12:25). How thrilled the Apostles must have been at this stage at the progress of the church. Through the first few years of the infant church they had suffered a few minor discomforts, but they had come through those triumphantly, and the church had continued to grow and grow. Jerusalem was ‘filled with their teaching’ and the work of caring for all the true people of God was now being successfully administered. And then came the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 12:24

‘But the word of God grew and multiplied.’ And in contrast to the end of the pretender, and in spite of what man could do, ‘the word of God grew and multiplied.’ The word of God marched on in triumph, sweeping all before it. Nothing could hold it back as what follows will now reveal. We may perhaps close this section of the Book of Acts by pointing out the pattern in the chapter above. It began with the king setting himself up against God and His anointed, followed by the people expressing... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 12:18-25

Acts 12:18-Isaiah : . Fate of the Soldiers and of Herod.— For the soldiers, cf. Acts 5:21 ff. Here they are led away to be put to death. The story of Herod’ s glorification and end is told by Josephus in a similar way; but our version is at some points defective. Herod’ s displeasure with Tyre dates from an earlier period; no disagreement with Sidon is reported. As king of Judæ a he had a hold on the two towns which depended on importation for their corn, and they might seek to work on him... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 12:24

Grew; the word of God is compared here to seed, as in our Saviour’s parable, Matthew 13:19. Multiplied; the number of believers multiplied through the word, which was sown, as seed is scattered abroad. So true it is, that persecutors, by their pulling down of the church, do but build it up. read more

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 12:20. For And Herod read And, or but, he—i.e., Herod. Highly displeased.—θυμομαχῶν, in a hostile state of mind, in modern phrase, “contemplating hostilities” (Plumptre), though it is doubtful whether open war against Phœnicia would have been permitted by Rome. Perhaps prohibitory tariffs with shutting of ports and markets were what Agrippa had in view. Tyre and Sidon.—The first mention of these Phœnician cities in the Acts. For their antiquity and splendour see Isaiah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 12:1-25

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Acts 12 .Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church ( Acts 12:1 ).There are just a lot of Herods in the Bible and it is a little difficult to keep them all straight. In fact, I don't expect you to keep them all straight. This particular Herod was Herod Agrippa I. He was the grandson of Herod the Great who was the Herod at the time of the birth of Jesus. Herod the Great had ten wives. One of his wives, Miriam, had... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 12:1-25

Acts 12:1 . About that time, when the word of the Lord prevailed so remarkably in Antioch and the northern provinces, and when Paul and Barnabas had brought alms to Jerusalem, as in Acts 12:25, Herod the king stretched forth his hand to vex certain of the church, by imprisonment, fines, and banishment. This was not Herod the Askelonite, whose son was slain among the infants of Bethlehem; nor Herod Antipas, who had beheaded John; but Herod Agrippa, brother of the incestuous Herodias, the... read more

Acts 12:12-25And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark.John Mark1. Two names are here, one Jewish, the other Roman; the latter adopted at first as a secondary one, and gradually superseding the former, just as “Joses” grew into “Barnabas,” and “Saul” became universally known as “Paul.” Thus we have “John, whose surname was Mark”; but later always “Mark” or “Marcus,” the Jewish name being entirely gone.2. The scenes of this... read more

Acts 12:19-25And … Herod … went down from Judea to Caesarea. The death of HerodThis journey of Herod is described by Josephus. It would seem that he left Judaea in disgust and spleen because Peter had escaped from his hands. We are next informed that “Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon,” etc. Judaea being an agricultural and a pastoral country, and Tyre and Sidon being mercantile countries, the latter were dependent on the inland trade for their support, and therefore it... read more
