Acts 12:1-4
1Now about that time 1Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them.
2And he 2had James the brother of John 3put to death with a sword.
3When he saw that it 4pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now 5it was during 6the days of Unleavened Bread.
4When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four 78squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after 9the Passover to bring him out before the people.
