Acts 12:1

At that time [while the collection was being taken up in Antioch, see Acts 11:27–30], King Herod [Agrippa I] arrested and tortured some of those who belonged to the church [in Jerusalem].
[Parallel to the events in Antioch, a new wave of persecution begins in Jerusalem. It is spring, see verse 3. Agrippa dies in 44 CE, so these events take place no later than the spring of 44 CE.
Herod Agrippa I ruled in Judea from 41 AD until his death in 44 AD. He followed Jewish law and celebrated the feasts in Jerusalem. He was the grandson of Herod the Great and the nephew of Herod Antipas, who is mentioned in Luke 23:7 and Acts 4:27. His sister was Herodias, who was behind the death of John the Baptist. At only three years old, Agrippa tragically lost his father Aristobulus. It was his grandfather, Herod the Great, known for his suspicion even of those closest to him, who killed his son Aristobulus in 7 BC. Agrippa's mother then moved to Rom, where he grew up together with the future emperors Gaius and Claudius. Their friendship led to Agrippa becoming tetrarch of the small states north of Galilee in 34 AD, and in 38 AD also over Galilee and the Decapolis, and in 41 AD he also gained power over Judea and Samaria.]
