Easter.Rather, the Passover, [to pascha .]
• After Easter a grand public spectacle in connection with Peter’s death was evidently designed, whereby the king would still further secure the adulation of the Jews. (“Prayed out of Prison” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• Peter had escaped from prison once before, and no one knew how he got out (Acts 5). (“Prayed out of Prison” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• “Intending after Easter to bring him.” The Greek pashcha is “passover” and not Easter. The latter is from Astarte and Ashtoreth, the Phoenician name of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, the worship of which was corruption deified. Religious flesh loves to celebrate man-made traditions. (“Help on Hard Verses” by A.C. Brown)
• {v.4-5} Deliverance was at hand, which the church scarce expected, more than the king feared it. (“Acts 12” by W. Kelly)
