Acts 12:3-6
3When he saw that it 1pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter as well. (Now these were 23the days of Unleavened Bread.) 4When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, turning him over to four 45squads of soldiers to guard him, intending only after 6the Passover to bring him before the people. 5So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made to God 7intensely by the church.
6On 8the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, 9bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison.
