Acts 12
Now
about
that
time
Herod
the
king
stretched
forth
his
hands
to
vex
certain
of
the
church.
2 And
he
a
killed
b
James
the
brother
of
John
with
the
sword.
3 And
because
he
saw
it
pleased
the
Jews,
he
proceeded
further
to
take
Peter
also.
(Then
were
the
days
of
a
unleavened
bread.)
4 And
when
he
had
apprehended
him,
he
put
him
in
a
prison,
and
delivered
him
to
four
b
quaternions
of
soldiers
to
keep
him;
intending
after
c
Easter
to
bring
him
forth
to
the
people.
5 Peter
therefore
was
kept
in
prison:
but
prayer
was
made
without
ceasing
of
the
church
unto
God
for
him.
6 And
when
Herod
would
have
brought
him
forth,
the
same
night
Peter
was
sleeping
between
two
soldiers,
bound
with
two
chains:
and
the
keepers
before
the
door
kept
the
prison.
7 And,
behold,
the
a
angel
of
the
Lord
came
upon
him,
and
a
light
shined
in
the
prison:
and
he
smote
Peter
on
the
side,
and
raised
him
up,
saying,
Arise
up
quickly.
And
his
chains
fell
off
from
his
hands.
8 And
the
angel
said
unto
him,
Gird
thyself,
and
bind
on
thy
sandals.
And
so
he
did.
And
he
saith
unto
him,
Cast
thy
garment
about
thee,
and
follow
me.
9 And
he
went
out,
and
followed
him;
and
a
wist
not
that
it
was
true
which
was
done
by
the
angel;
but
thought
he
saw
a
vision.
10 When
they
were
past
the
first
and
the
second
ward,
they
came
unto
the
iron
gate
that
leadeth
unto
the
city;
which
opened
to
them
of
his
own
accord:
and
they
went
out,
and
passed
on
through
one
street;
and
forthwith
the
angel
departed
from
him.
11 And
when
Peter
was
come
to
himself,
he
said,
Now
I
know
of
a
surety,
that
the
Lord
hath
sent
his
angel,
and
hath
delivered
me
out
of
the
hand
of
Herod,
and
from
all
the
expectation
of
the
people
of
the
Jews.
12 And
when
he
had
considered
the
thing,
he
came
to
the
house
of
Mary
the
mother
of
John,
whose
surname
was
Mark;
where
many
were
gathered
together
praying.
13 And
as
Peter
knocked
at
the
door
of
the
gate,
a
damsel
came
to
hearken,
named
Rhoda.
14 And
when
she
knew
Peter's
voice,
she
opened
not
the
gate
for
gladness,
but
ran
in,
and
told
how
Peter
stood
before
the
gate.
15 And
they
said
unto
her,
Thou
art
mad.
But
she
constantly
affirmed
that
it
was
even
so.
Then
said
they,
It
is
his
angel.
16 But
Peter
continued
knocking:
and
when
they
had
opened
the
door,
and
saw
him,
they
were
astonished.
17 But
he,
a
beckoning
unto
them
with
the
hand
to
hold
their
peace,
declared
unto
them
how
the
Lord
had
brought
him
out
of
the
prison.
And
he
said,
Go
shew
these
things
unto
James,
and
to
the
brethren.
And
he
departed,
and
went
into
another
place.
18 Now
as
soon
as
it
was
day,
there
was
no
small
stir
among
the
soldiers,
what
was
become
of
Peter.
19 And
when
Herod
had
sought
for
him,
and
found
him
not,
he
examined
the
keepers,
and
commanded
that
they
should
be
put
to
a
death.
And
he
went
down
from
Judaea
to
Caesarea,
and
there
abode.
20 And
Herod
was
highly
displeased
with
them
of
Tyre
and
Sidon:
but
they
came
with
one
accord
to
him,
and,
having
made
Blastus
the
king's
chamberlain
their
friend,
desired
peace;
because
their
country
was
nourished
by
the
king's
country.
21 And
upon
a
set
day
Herod,
arrayed
in
royal
apparel,
sat
upon
his
throne,
and
made
an
oration
unto
them.
22 And
the
people
gave
a
shout,
saying,
It
is
the
voice
of
a
god,
and
not
of
a
man.
23 And
immediately
the
a
angel
of
the
Lord
smote
him,
because
he
gave
not
God
the
glory:
and
he
was
eaten
of
worms,
and
gave
up
the
ghost.
24 But
the
word
of
God
grew
and
multiplied.
25 And
Barnabas
and
Saul
returned
from
Jerusalem,
when
they
had
fulfilled
their
a
ministry,
and
took
with
them
John,
whose
surname
was
Mark.
