Judaea
Judaea (Latin: Iūdaea; Greek: Ἰουδαία Iudaia; Hebrew: יהודה, Standard Yəhūda Tiberian Yehūḏā) was a Roman province which incorporated the regions of Judea, Samaria and Idumea, and extended over parts of the former regions of the Hasmonean and Herodian kingdoms of Judea.
, Agrippa zealously pursued orthodox Jewish policies, earning the friendship of the Jews and vigorously repressing the Jewish Christians. According to the New Testament of the Bible (Acts of the Apostles, where he is called Herod), he imprisoned Peter the Apostle and executed James, son of Zebedee.
Is Herod Agrippa and Herod Antipas the same person?
(Antipas was Herod the Great's son by Malthace, while Herod II was his son by Mariamne II.) ... In 39 AD Antipas was accused by his nephew Agrippa I of conspiracy against the Roman emperor Caligula, who sent him into exile in Spain, according to Josephus.
Why did Herod imprisoned Peter?
It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also.
