Acts 12:1-9

1At that timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 laidG1911 his handsG5495 on some of those of the assemblyG1577 to do them hurt,

2and slew JamesG2385, the brotherG80 of JohnG2491, with the swordG3162.

3And seeingG3708 that it wasG1510 pleasingG701 to the JewsG2453, he went on to take PeterG4074 alsoG2532: (and they wereG1510 the daysG2250 of unleavenedG106 bread:)

4whom having seizedG4084 he putG5087 in prisonG5438, having deliveredG3860 him to fourG5064 quaternions of soldiersG4757 to keepG5442, purposing after the passoverG3957 to bringG321 him out to the peopleG2992.

5PeterG4074 thereforeG3767 wasG1510 keptG5083 in the prisonG5438; but unceasing prayerG4335 wasG1510 made by the assemblyG1577 to 1GodG2316 concerningG4012 him.

6And whenG3753 HerodG2264 wasG1510 going to bringG4254 him forth, that nightG3571 PeterG4074 wasG1510 sleepingG2837 between twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254, and guardsG5441 before the doorG2374 keptG5083 the prisonG5438.

7And lo, an angelG32 of [the] LordG2962 cameG2186 there, and a lightG5457 shoneG2989 in the prison: and having smitten the sideG4125 of PeterG4074, he roused him up, sayingG3004, RiseG450 up quickly. And his chainsG254 fell off his handsG5495.

8And the angelG32 saidG3004 to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandalsG4547. And he did so. And he saysG3004 to him, Cast thine upper garmentG2440 about thee and followG190 me.

9And goingG1831 forthG1831 he followedG190 [him] and did not know that what wasG1510 happeningG1096 by means of the angelG32 wasG1510 real, but supposed he sawG1492 a visionG3705.
