Now
about
that time
Herod
the king
laid
hands
on some
who
belonged
to the church
in order to mistreat
them.
2
And he had James
the brother
of John
put to death
with a sword.
3
When he saw
that it pleased
the Jews,
he proceeded
to arrest
Peter
also.
Now
it was during the days
of Unleavened
Bread.
4
When he had seized
him, he put
him in prison,
delivering
him to four
squads
of soldiers
to guard
him, intending
after
the Passover
to bring
him out before the people.
5
So
Peter
was kept
in the prison,
but prayer
for him was being made
fervently
by the church
to God.
6
On the very
night
when
Herod
was about
to bring him forward,
Peter
was sleeping
between
two
soldiers,
bound
with
two
chains,
and guards
in front
of the door
were watching over
the prison.
7
And behold,
an angel
of the Lord
suddenly appeared
and a light
shone
in the cell;
and he struck
Peter's
side
and woke
him up, saying,
"Get
up quickly."
And his chains
fell off
his hands.
8
And the angel
said
to him, "Gird
yourself and put
on your sandals."
And he did
so.
And he
said
to him, "Wrap
your cloak
around
you and follow
me."
9
And he went
out and continued to follow,
and he did not know
that what was being done
by the angel
was real,
but thought
he was seeing
a vision.
10
When they had passed
the first
and second
guard,
they came
to the iron
gate
that leads
into the city,
which
opened
for them by itself;
and they went
out and went along
one
street,
and immediately
the angel
departed
from him.
11
When Peter
came
to himself,
he said,
"Now
I know
for sure
that the Lord
has sent forth
His angel
and rescued
me from the hand
of Herod
and from all
that the Jewish
people
were expecting."
12
And when he realized
this, he went
to the house
of Mary,
the mother
of John
who was also called
Mark,
where
many
were gathered together
and were praying.
13
When he knocked
at the door
of the gate,
a servant-girl
named
Rhoda
came
to answer.
14
When she recognized
Peter's
voice,
because
of her joy
she did not open
the gate,
but ran
in and announced
that Peter
was standing
in front
of the gate.
15
They said
to her, "You are out of your mind!"
But she kept insisting
that it was so.
They kept saying,
"It is his angel."
16
But Peter
continued
knocking;
and when they had opened
the door, they saw
him and were amazed.
17
But motioning
to them with his hand
to be silent,
he described
to them how
the Lord
had led
him out of the prison.
And he said,
"Report
these things
to James
and the brethren."
Then
he left
and went
to another
place.
18
Now
when day
came,
there was no
small
disturbance
among
the soldiers
as to what
could have become
of Peter.
19
When Herod
had searched
for him and had not found
him, he examined
the guards
and ordered
that they be led away
to execution. Then
he went down
from Judea
to Caesarea
and was spending time
there.
20
Now
he was very angry
with the people of Tyre
and Sidon;
and with one accord
they came
to him, and having won over
Blastus
the king's
chamberlain,
they were asking
for peace,
because
their country
was fed
by
the king's
country.
21
On an appointed
day
Herod,
having put
on his royal
apparel,
took his seat
on the rostrum
and began delivering an address
to them.
22
The people
kept crying
out, "The voice
of a god
and not of a man!"
23
And immediately
an angel
of the Lord
struck
him because
he did not give
God
the glory,
and he was eaten by worms
and died.
24
But the word
of the Lord
continued to grow
and to be multiplied.
25
And Barnabas
and Saul
returned
from Jerusalem
when they had fulfilled
their mission,
taking along
with them John,
who was also called
Mark.
