Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Of Latin origin, derived from the name Agrippa.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the name Agrippa, as it is of Latin origin and specific to the Herodian dynasty within the context of the New Testament. However, the Herodian kings are often associated with the broader historical and cultural context of the Second Temple period in Jewish history.

Usage: The name Agrippa appears in the New Testament in reference to two Herodian kings: Herod Agrippa I and Herod Agrippa II.

Context: • Herod Agrippa I: Herod Agrippa I was the grandson of Herod the Great and ruled as king over Judea from AD 41 to 44. He is noted for his persecution of the early Christian church, as recorded in the Book of Acts. Agrippa I is infamous for the execution of James, the brother of John, and for imprisoning Peter with the intent of executing him as well. His death is described in Acts 12:23, where it is said, "Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died."

• Herod Agrippa II: Herod Agrippa II was the son of Herod Agrippa I and ruled over various territories as a client king of Rome. He is most prominently featured in Acts 25-26, where the Apostle Paul makes his defense before Agrippa II and his sister Bernice. Agrippa II is noted for his familiarity with Jewish customs and controversies, as Paul acknowledges in Acts 26:3, "especially since you are acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies." Agrippa II famously responds to Paul's testimony with the words, "In such a short time, would you persuade me to become a Christian?" (Acts 26:28).
