This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 12:1. Κατʼ ἐκεῖνον δὲ τὸν καιρὸν, but [now] at that time) The apostolical Church had rest and persecution blended together, of which, when the one or other much prevails, a more severe Divine judgment either will come or is not present.-κακῶσαι, to afflict) The art of the world. Herod did this, influenced by his own mind [over-ruled by Providence], on account of the time [the juncture, which God saw required such a sore discipline,-τὸν καιρὸν], and on account of [the loving purposes of] grace.
