Both B03 and D05, unlike )01, mention his name before his title, an indication that it is chiefly the person who is important rather than his role as king. B03, however, inserts the reference to Herod within the phrase π βαλεν τ χε ρα whereas D05 places it after the phrase – the difference is lost in an English translation. Both word orders could be said to draw attention to the king, for the purpose of introducing a new character and also to highlight his importance for the story that follows: in B03, by its position in the middle of the phrase, and in D05 by its position at the end. Since the usual order in Luke’s narrative is for the verb to be followed immediately by the subject, it may be D05 that has the more emphatic order of words but the effect of breaking up the phrase in B03 may be even more forceful. An analysis of word order in Acts that includes the place of the verb would need to be carried out to be more specific about the significance of this particular variant17.

The detail that the church attacked by Herod was in Judaea is not su- perfluous nor even simply explanatory information18.
