Herod’s background in Ac.12 He knew Jews hated his family, and did everything to win their affection In Rome, he lived as a Roman, in Jeru- salem, as a Jew  “Brother”

Religious harassment (1) Harm, mistreat (7:6, 19) Previous persecutions came from Jewish fanatics; now, civil authority

The climax of persecution Church (1) (Jn.16:1-2) James (2) (Mt.20:20-23) Peter (3) (Ac.5:17-21)

Evidence for truth of gospel. No one willingly dies for a lie Problem of pain and evil. Mk.5, 9, 14 Lord loved them; both would die We’re just passing through; our home is in heaven. Rejoice w. James Herod will not get the last word. Look at their legacies

I. Herod’s Tribulation II. Peter’s Trust III. Peter’s Triumph IV. Herod’s Termination

The best laid plans… 4, 5, 11  Herod: would die before Peter  Time to panic  Code of Justinian

F. C. Burkitt “Peter’s escape was contrived by human means…Some human sympa- thizer was at work, who had drugged the guards and bribed the turnkey.” Ac.16 Unbelief requires tons of faith

Herod’s choices 1. Peter was released by an act of God 2. Soldiers conspired to release him  Apostles had a Cause  Soldiers had no motive Herod murders 16 innocent men Verse 24

The terminator, terminated An unjust, dishonest murderer accepts praise of divine worship (21-22) 23, a god? Josephus  Ga.6:7; Rv.20:10 Mt.12:30
