# General Information:
This is background information about Herod's killing James. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])
# Connecting Statement:
This begins the new persecution, first of James' death and then of Peter's imprisonment and then release.
# Now
This begins a new part of the story. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]])
# about that time
This refers to the time of the famine.
# laid hands on
This means Herod had the believers arrested. See how you translated this in [Acts 5:18](../05/18.md). Alternate translation: "sent soldiers to arrest" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
# some who belonged to the church
Only James and Peter are specified, which implies that these were leaders of the church in Jerusalem. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
# so that he might mistreat them
"in order to cause the believers to suffer"
