Acts 12:1-9
1NowG1161 about that timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 putG1911 forth his handsG5495 to afflict certainG5100 of the churchG1577.
2And he killed JamesG2385 the brotherG80 of JohnG2491 with the swordG3162.
3And when he sawG3708 that it pleased the JewsG2453, he proceeded to seize PeterG4074 alsoG2532. And those wereG1510 the daysG2250 of unleavenedG106 bread.
4And when he had taken him, he putG5087 him in prisonG5438, and deliveredG3860 him to fourG5064 quaternions of soldiersG4757 to guardG5442 him; intendingG1014 after the PassoverG3957 to bringG321 him forth to the peopleG2992.
5PeterG4074 thereforeG3767 wasG1510 keptG5083 in the prisonG5438: but prayerG4335 wasG1510 made earnestly of the churchG1577 unto GodG2316 for him.
6And whenG3753 HerodG2264 wasG1510 about to bringG4254 him forth, the sameG846 nightG3571 PeterG4074 wasG1510 sleepingG2837 between twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254: and guardsG5441 before the doorG2374 keptG5083 the prisonG5438.
7And beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 stoodG450 by him, and a lightG5457 shinedG2989 in the cell: and he smote PeterG4074 on the sideG4125, and awoke him, sayingG3004, RiseG450 up quickly. And his chainsG254 fell off from his handsG5495.
8And the angelG32 saidG3004 unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandalsG4547. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garmentG2440 about thee, and followG190 me.
9And he wentG1831 out, and followedG190; and he knew not that it wasG1510 trueG227 which wasG1510 done by the angelG32, but thoughtG1380 he sawG1492 a visionG3705.
