Acts 12:3 - Additional Comments

The Passover is followed immediately by the 7 Days of Unleavened Bread, from Sabbath to Sabbath. This happened during that time after Passover. The Jews would come to Jerusalem at that time, and probably were more stirred up than usual, as they were at the time of Jesus' death.
The Jews were pleased by the death of James. Their reaction to James death encouraged Herod to continue the persecution, which included the imprisonment of Peter. By agreement James blood was on their hands, too, even though they did not cause it to happen.
