<p>12:3 <i>And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And those were the days of unleavened bread</i>- Luke uses the same word in recording how the Lord was 'seized', and &quot;Peter followed afar off&quot; (Lk. 22:54). Now, the implication is, after a period of following the Lord, it was Peter's turn to experience His sufferings more directly. There are many similarities with the Lord's sufferings- e.g. it was to &quot;please the Jews&quot; (:2). Hence the comment: &quot;And those were the days of unleavened bread&quot;. It was Passover time- the very time of the Lord's sufferings. We too are led to fellowship with the Lord's sufferings, and our familiarity with the records of them will help us to perceive this more quickly.</p>
