📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, chapter 12, the early church was enduring intense persecution under King Herod Agrippa, who had James executed and Peter imprisoned in an attempt to suppress the growing Christian movement. Miraculously, Peter was freed by an angel, and Herod faced divine judgment, showing God's protection over His people. This verse emphasizes that despite these adversities, the message of the Gospel continued to expand and reach more people.
