James the brother of John both of whom are sons of Zebedee (Matthew 4:21-22) was put to death with the sword by order of King Herod. This happened shortly before Peter was arrested. Herod intended to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover. This is summary of what is described in Acts 12:1-4.
