Herod's persecution of the early church is described in the Book of Acts in the New Testament. The reason for Herod's persecution is stated in Acts 12:1-4 (RSV):

" About that time Herod the king laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. 2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword; 3 and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. "

Herod's motivation for persecuting the early church was political and driven by a desire to gain favour with the Jewish leaders and the populace. The killing of James pleased the Jews, and Herod hoped to further solidify his popularity by arresting Peter as well.
