• 1 And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly,

• 3 and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also -- and they were the days of the unleavened food --
• 4 whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.
• 5 Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,
• 6 and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison,
• 7 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, `Rise in haste,` and his chains fell from off his hands.
• 8 The messenger also said to him, `Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;` and he did so; and he saith to him, `Put thy garment round and be following me;`
• 9 and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,
• 10 and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.
• 11 And Peter having come to himself, said, `Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;`
• 12 also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.
• 13 And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda,
• 14 and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
• 15 and they said unto her, `Thou art mad;` and she was confidently affirming it to be so, and they said, `It is his messenger;`
• 16 and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
• 17 and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;` and having gone forth, he went on to another place.
• 18 And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
• 19 and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command them to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he was abiding there.
• 20 And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who is over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king's;
• 21 and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an oration unto them,
• 22 and the populace were shouting, `The voice of a god, and not of a man;`
• 23 and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.
• 24 And the word of God did grow and did multiply,
• 25 and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with them John, who was surnamed Mark.

• 1 Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.
• 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
• 3 And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And those were the days of unleavened bread.
• 4 And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
• 5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.
• 6 And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.
• 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise 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 he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
• 9 And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.
• 10 And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.
• 11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and 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 and were praying.
• 13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.
• 14 And when she knew Peters voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
• 15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.
• 16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
• 17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to 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 guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there.
• 20 Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the kings chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the kings country.
• 21 And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.
• 22 And the people shouted, saying, The voice of a god, and not of a man.
• 23 And immediately an 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 ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.

Acts 12:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

• 1 Now about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
• 2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
• 3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
• 4 When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
• 5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
• 6 The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
• 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly!" His chains fell off from his hands.
• 8 The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, and follow me."
• 9 And he went out and followed him. He didn't know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
• 10 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
• 11 When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
• 12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
• 13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.
• 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she didn't open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

• 16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
• 17 But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell these things to James, and to the brothers." Then he departed, and went to another place.
• 18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
• 19 When Herod had sought for him, and didn't find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
• 20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's chamberlain, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
• 21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
• 22 The people shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man!"
• 23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn't give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
• 24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
• 25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.

• 1 Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.

• 1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

• 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
• 4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
• 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church to 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 angel of the Lord came on 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 to him, Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals. And so he did. And he said to him, Cast your garment about you, and follow me.

• 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to listen, 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 to her, You are 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, beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go show these things to James, and to the brothers. And he departed, and went into another place.

• 24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

Acts 12:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

• 1 About that time King Herod laid hands on some from the church to harm them.
• 2 He had James, the brother of John, executed with a sword.
• 3 When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter too. (This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.)
• 4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him. Herod planned to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.
• 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly praying to God for him.
• 6 On that very night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison.
• 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, "Get up quickly!" And the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
• 8 The angel said to him, "Fasten your belt and put on your sandals." Peter did so. Then the angel said to him, "Put on your cloak and follow me."
• 9 Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
• 10 After they had passed the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went outside and walked down one narrow street, when at once the angel left him.
• 11 When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from everything the Jewish people were expecting to happen."
• 12 When Peter realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.
• 13 When he knocked at the door of the outer gate, a slave girl named Rhoda answered.
• 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she did not open the gate, but ran back in and told them that Peter was standing at the gate.
• 15 But they said to her, "You've lost your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was Peter, and they kept saying, "It is his angel!"
• 16 Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were greatly astonished.
• 17 He motioned to them with his hand to be quiet and then related how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell James and the brothers these things," and then he left and went to another place.
• 18 At daybreak there was great consternation among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.
• 19 When Herod had searched for him and did not find him, he questioned the guards and commanded that they be led away to execution. Then Herod went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.
• 20 Now Herod was having an angry quarrel with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they joined together and presented themselves before him. And after convincing Blastus, the king's personal assistant, to help them, they asked for peace, because their country's food supply was provided by the king's country.
• 21 On a day determined in advance, Herod put on his royal robes, sat down on the judgment seat, and made a speech to them.
• 22 But the crowd began to shout, "The voice of a god, and not of a man!"
• 23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod down because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died.
• 24 But the word of God kept on increasing and multiplying.
• 25 So Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had completed their mission, bringing along with them John Mark.

Acts 12:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

• 1 During this same time, King Herod began to persecute some of the people who were part of the church.
• 2 He ordered James, the brother of John, to be killed with a sword.
• 3 Herod saw that the Jews liked this, so he decided to arrest Peter too. (This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread. )
• 4 He arrested Peter and put him in jail, where he was guarded by a group of 16 soldiers. Herod planned to bring Peter before the people, but he wanted to wait until after the Passover festival.
• 5 So Peter was kept in jail, but the church was constantly praying to God for him.
• 6 One night, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two of the soldiers. More soldiers were guarding the door of the jail. Herod was planning to bring Peter out before the people the next day.
• 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord was standing there, and the room was filled with light. The angel tapped Peter on the side and woke him up. The angel said, "Hurry, get up!" The chains fell off Peter's hands.
• 8 The angel said, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." Peter did as he was told. Then the angel said, "Put on your coat and follow me."
• 9 So the angel went out and Peter followed. He did not know if the angel was really doing this. He thought he might be seeing a vision.
• 10 Peter and the angel went past the first guard and the second guard. Then they came to the iron gate that separated them from the city. The gate opened for them by itself. After they went through the gate and walked about a block, the angel suddenly left.
• 11 Peter realized then what had happened. He thought, "Now I know that the Lord really sent his angel to me. He rescued me from Herod and from all the bad things the Jewish leaders were planning to do to me."
• 12 When Peter realized this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John, who was also called Mark. Many people were gathered there and were praying.
• 13 Peter knocked on the outside door. A servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
• 14 She recognized Peter's voice, and she was very happy. She even forgot to open the door. She ran inside and told the group, "Peter is at the door!"
• 15 The believers said to her, "You are crazy!" But she continued to say that it was true. So they said, "It must be Peter's angel."
• 16 But Peter continued to knock. When the believers opened the door, they saw him. They were amazed.
• 17 Peter made a sign with his hand to tell them to be quiet. He explained to them how the Lord led him out of the jail. He said, "Tell James and the other brothers what happened." Then he left and went to another place.
• 18 The next day the soldiers were very upset. They wondered what happened to Peter.
• 19 Herod looked everywhere for him but could not find him. So he questioned the guards and then ordered that they be killed. Later, Herod moved from Judea. He went to the city of Caesarea and stayed there a while.
• 20 Herod was very angry with the people from the cities of Tyre and Sidon. But these cities needed food from his country, so a group of them came to ask him for peace. They were able to get Blastus, the king's personal servant, on their side.
• 21 Herod decided on a day to meet with them. On that day he was wearing a beautiful royal robe. He sat on his throne and made a speech to the people.
• 22 The people shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not a man!"
• 23 Herod did not give the glory to God. So an angel of the Lord caused him to get sick. He was eaten by worms inside him, and he died.
• 24 The message of God was spreading, reaching more and more people.
• 25 After Barnabas and Saul finished their work in Jerusalem, they returned to Antioch, taking John Mark with them.
