Ministry of the Twelve Diminishes

The Book of Acts

The final significant change we see as a result of the stoning of Stephen is found in Acts 12. The Apostle James is killed by Herod the king. Seeing that this pleased the Jews, he had Peter arrested, intending to do the same to him. But God miraculously freed him. These events seem to point to the fact that the ministry of the twelve apostles is diminishing, while that of Saul (Apostle Paul) is about to take the forefront. The chapter closes with Saul (Paul) and Barnabas returning from Jerusalem to Antioch, from which they will soon be sent out to preach Christ. (Acts 12:1-25).
