Day 1 · James Killed, Peter Imprisoned
Acts 12:1–4
1About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church. 2He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. 3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 4He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
