Acts 12:4-6
4When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four 12squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after 3the Passover to bring him out before the people. 5So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God.
6On 4the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, 5bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison.
