Acts 12:1 - 12:25
ActsSteve Gregg
In "Acts 12:1-25," Steve Gregg explores the narrative of James, the apostle who was martyred by King Herod Agrippa. Unlike Judas, James was not replaced as an apostle, challenging the concept of apostolic succession. Peter is imprisoned during festival season and is miraculously freed by an angel, and ultimately escapes Jerusalem to an unknown location. The chapter ends with the introduction of John Mark, who will play a significant role in later chapters of Acts.
