When Stephen was martyred with Saul's approval, the church spread throughout Judea and into the surrounding areas. With Saul's conversion, this persecution eased up a bit.
But then Herod Agrippa comes onto the scene. Acts 12 opens with the arrest and execution of James, the brother of John; the firs apostle to be martyred. Seeing how this pleased the Jews, Herod has Peter arrested, with the intention of executing him also. This was a change from persecution at the hands of the Jewish authorities, to now persecution coming from the secular authorities.
