Acts 12:3

When he saw that this pleased the Jews, ¹  he proceeded to arrest Peter too. (This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.) ² 

Ex 12:14-20; Ex 13:3-7; Ex 23:15; Le 23:6-14; Ps 76:10; Mt 26:17; Joh 12:43; Joh 19:11; Joh 21:18; Ac 2:14; Ac 4:13; Ac 24:27; Ac 25:9; 1Co 5:7,8; Ga 1:10; 1Th 2:4

¹ tn This could be a reference to the Jewish people (so CEV) or to the Jewish leaders (so NLT). The statement in v. 4 that Herod intended to bring Peter “out to the people” (i.e., for a public trial) may suggest the former is somewhat more likely.
