As we continue our study thru Acts, we arrive at chapter #12, which is often labeled as a parenthetic chapter. Meaning, we get a look behind the scenes into details of other events happening simultaneously. In this case… there’s persecution of the church leadership in Jerusalem. The Church was ministering to hurting & hungry people by lifting the weight of oppression in the name of Jesus. People were coming to a right understanding God’s grace thru Jesus and his coming Kingdom. Exactly what we want today - people pressing into Jesus above the politics of the moment.
