Blastus is the chamberlain of Herod Agrippa I in Acts 12 and serves within the political machinery of the royal court. He belongs to the diplomatic setting surrounding Tyre and Sidon's appeal for peace. First appears in Acts 12:20.1
AI summary: Blastus matters because his single cross reference shows how access to rulers often moved through influential intermediaries rather than public channels alone. The entry adds political texture to Acts by reminding the reader that the early church lived within a world of court relationships and fragile power. Taken together, the material presents Blastus as a court official shaping access to Herod.1
