Read Acts 12
There is a lot going on this passage. The sad reality of James (one of the first fisherman followers of Jesus) was executed by the sword. The amazing miracle of Peter's rescue from prison by an angel of the Lord. The judgment and death of King Herod. John Mark was mentioned in this passage. The church was meeting in his mother's home in Jerusalem. John Mark is believed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark, the first gospel written for circulation among the followers of Jesus. John Mark had traveled with Saul (Paul) and Barnabas on a missionary journey before returning to Jerusalem. Perhaps the most encouraging verse in this chapter is verse 24: the gospel continued to increase and spread.
