(See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/0/0">Glossary</a>.) Born in 10 B.C.E., Herod Agrippa I was educated in Rome. He cultivated friendships with various members of the imperial family. One friend was Gaius, better known as Caligula, who became emperor in 37 C.E. He soon proclaimed Agrippa king over the regions of Ituraea, Trachonitis, and Abilene. Later, Caligula expanded Agrippa’s domain to include Galilee and Perea. Agrippa was in Rome when Caligula was assassinated in 41 C.E. Reportedly, Agrippa played an important role in resolving the crisis that ensued. He participated in tense negotiations between another powerful friend, Claudius, and the Roman Senate. The result was that Claudius was proclaimed emperor and civil war was averted. To reward Agrippa for his mediation, Claudius granted him kingship also over Judea and Samaria, which had been administered by Roman procurators since 6 C.E. Thus Agrippa came to be in charge of territories equaling those of Herod the Great. Agrippa’s capital was Jerusalem, where he won the favor of the religious leaders. He is said to have observed Jewish law and traditions scrupulously by, among other things, offering sacrifices in the temple daily and reading the Law publicly. He is also said to have been a zealous protector of the Jewish faith. However, he belied his claim of being a worshipper of God by arranging gladiatorial combats and pagan spectacles in the theater. Agrippa’s character has been described as treacherous, superficial, and extravagant. His rule was cut short when he was executed by Jehovah’s angel, as described at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Ac 12:23</a>. Scholars place the death of King Herod Agrippa I in 44 C.E. He was at that time 54 years old and had reigned for three years over all Judea.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group media"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Media</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="scalableui item"><div class="clearfix"><a class="galleryItem" href="/en/wol/gallery/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/44/1001072146#chapter=12"><img class="studyItemMedia" src="/en/wol/gallery/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/44/1001072146/thumbnail" data-img-large-src="/en/wol/mp/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/2024/765" ><span class="caption"><p>Herod Agrippa I</p> </span></a></div></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/44/12/391" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-392"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Joh 15:20</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-392" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-392" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p797" data-pid="797" class="se"></p> <p id="p798" data-pid="798" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/758/0"><em>Bearing Witness,</em> pp. 77-78</a></p> <p id="p799" data-pid="799" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/759/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> pp. 467,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/760/0"> 1097</a></p> <div id="p800" data-pid="800"><p data-pid="800" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/761/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="800" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/761/0">4/15/2007, p. 22</a></p> </div><p id="p801" data-pid="801" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p246" data-pid="246" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/244/0">bt 77-78;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/244/2"> it-1 467,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/244/4"> 1097;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/244/6"> w07 4/15 22;</a></p> <p id="p247" data-pid="247" class="sx"></p> <p id="p302" data-pid="302" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/300/0">ad 348;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/300/1"> w66 596;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/300/2"> w64 744;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/300/3"> w62 661</a></p> <p id="p303" data-pid="303" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="44-12-2" data-section-citation="044012002044012002"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Acts 12:2</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p6" data-pid="6" class="s5"><strong>put James the brother of John to death:</strong> The execution probably took place about the year 44 C.E. James thus became the first of the 12 apostles to die as a martyr. Herod may have targeted James because that apostle was known to be particularly close to Jesus or because James had a reputation for fiery zeal. It was likely for this reason that James and his brother John had been given the surname Boanerges, which means “Sons of Thunder.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Mr 3:17</a>) Herod’s cowardly, politically motivated act did not stop the spread of the good news, but it did rob the congregation of a beloved apostle, shepherd, and source of encouragement. The expression <strong>by the sword</strong> may indicate that James was beheaded.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/44/12/392" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-393"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mt 4:21</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-393" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-393" class="extract"></div></div></li><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/44/12/393" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-394"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mt 20:20-23; Lu 11:49</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-394" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-394" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p801" data-pid="801" class="se"></p> <p id="p802" data-pid="802" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/762/0"><em>Bearing Witness,</em> p. 78</a></p> <p id="p803" data-pid="803" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/763/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> p. 467</a></p> <div id="p804" data-pid="804"><p data-pid="804" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/764/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="804" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/764/0">1/15/2012, p. 11</a></p><p data-pid="804" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/765/0">6/1/1990, p. 20</a></p> </div><p id="p805" data-pid="805" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/766/0"><em>“All Scripture,”</em> pp. 193-194</a></p> <p id="p806" data-pid="806" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p247" data-pid="247" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/245/0">bt 78;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/245/2"> it-1 467;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/245/4"> w12 1/15 11;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/245/7"> w90 6/1 20;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/245/10"> si 194;</a></p> <p id="p248" data-pid="248" class="sx"></p> <p id="p303" data-pid="303" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/301/0">w71 320;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/301/2"> ad 348;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/301/3"> w66 596;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/301/4"> w64 95,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/301/5"> 744;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/301/6"> w62 712</a></p> <p id="p304" data-pid="304" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="44-12-3" data-section-citation="044012003044012003"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Acts 12:3</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p8" data-pid="8" class="s5"><strong>the days of the Unleavened Bread:</strong> The Festival of Unleavened Bread began on Nisan 15, the day after the Passover (Nisan 14), and lasted for seven days.

Those who referred to “his [Peter’s] angel” may have assumed that an angelic messenger representing the apostle was at the gate. It appears that some Jews believed that each servant of God had his own angel—in effect, a guardian angel, a view that is not directly taught in God’s Word. Jesus’ disciples knew, though, that throughout history, angels rendered personal assistance to God’s people. For example, Jacob spoke of “the angel who has been recovering me from all calamity.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/18/0" data-bid="19-1" class="b">Ge 48:16</a>) Also, Jesus said of his disciples that <em>“their</em> angels in heaven always look upon the face of my Father,” showing that angels take an active interest in each of Jesus’ disciples. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/9/0">study note on Mt 18:10</a>.) Those gathered at Mary’s house would not have imagined that Peter himself was appearing in some angelic form, as if he had died and was now a spirit; they knew what the Hebrew Scriptures said about the condition of the dead.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/19/0" data-bid="20-1" class="b">Ec 9:5,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/19/1" data-bid="20-2" class="b"> 10</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p832" data-pid="832" class="se"></p> <p id="p833" data-pid="833" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/792/0"><em>Bible Questions Answered,</em> article 117</a></p> <p id="p834" data-pid="834" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/793/0"><em>Bearing Witness,</em> pp. 80-81</a></p> <div id="p835" data-pid="835"><p data-pid="835" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/794/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="835" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/794/0">6/1/2005, p. 31</a></p><p data-pid="835" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204434/795/0">6/1/1990, p. 20</a></p> </div><p id="p836" data-pid="836" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p257" data-pid="257" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/255/0">ijwbq article 117;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/255/2"> bt 81;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/255/4"> w05 6/1 31;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270044/255/6"> w90 6/1 20;</a></p> <p id="p258" data-pid="258" class="sx"></p> <p id="p309" data-pid="309" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020044/307/0">w76 223-224</a></p> <p id="p310" data-pid="310" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="44-12-17" data-section-citation="044012017044012017"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Acts 12:17</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p21" data-pid="21" class="s5"><strong>Jehovah:</strong> Most Greek <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070701/10/0">manuscripts</a> use the term “the Lord” (Greek, <em>ho Kyʹri·os</em>) here.
