Named ruler · New Testament
Meet Herod Agrippa I.
The ruler in the Acts 12 persecution narrative.
Who was Herod Agrippa I?
Herod Agrippa I was the ruler in Acts 12 who persecuted members of the church. He had James killed and Peter imprisoned. He is not the same ruler as Herod the Great or Herod Antipas.
While Peter was in prison, the church prayed for him. The chapter includes both loss and rescue, so it should not be simplified into a promise that prayer always brings escape.
