“Timothy was in the province of Asia at that time, probably in Ephesus (4:13, 19).” (2 Timothy)

	“Herod Agrippa I was Herod the Great’s grandson, Herod Antipas’s nephew, and Herodias’s brother (see genealogy, p. 1579). Agrippa I ruled the whole of Palestine for a short time following the death of Jesus, during the very early days of the Christian movement (ad 41–44).” (Acts 12:1–4)

	“But sacrifice and ritual are not substitutes for genuine piety (4:4; 5:25). The shrines at Bethel, Gilgal, and Beersheba did not suffice; no matter how many sacrifices or how elaborate the rituals (5:4–5), these were not the places for worship God had chosen.” (Amos 5:4–5)
