Acts 12:1-5

1At that time Herod the king laid his hands on some of those of the assembly to do them hurt,

2and slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.

3And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread:)

4whom having seized he put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep, purposing after the passover to bring him out to the people.

5Peter therefore was kept in the prison; but unceasing prayer was made by the assembly to 1God concerning him.
