Acts 12:1-9
1NowG1161 aboutG2596 thatG1565 timeG3588G2540 HerodG2264 the kingG3588G935 stretched forthG1911 his handsG3588G5495 to vexG2559 certainG5100 ofG575 the AssemblyG3588G1577.
2AndG1161 he killedG337 JamesG2385 the brotherG3588G80 of JohnG2491 with the swordG3162.
3AndG2532 becauseG3754 he sawG3708 it pleasedG701 the JewsG2453, he proceeded furtherG4369 to takeG4815 PeterG4074 alsoG2532. (ThenG1161 wereG1510 the daysG2250 of unleavened breadG106.)
4AndG2532 whenG3739 he had apprehended himG4084, he putG5087 him inG1519 prisonG5438, and deliveredG3860 him to fourG5064 quaternionsG5069 of soldiersG4757 to keepG5442 himG846; intendingG1014 afterG3326 the PassoverG3957 to bringG321 himG846 forthG321 to the peopleG3588G2992.
5PeterG4074 thereforeG3767 was keptG5083 inG1722 prisonG3588G5438: butG1161 prayerG4335 wasG1510 madeG1096 without ceasingG1618 ofG5259 the AssemblyG3588G1577 untoG4314 GodG3588G2316 forG5228 himG846.
6AndG1161 whenG3753 HerodG3588G2264 wouldG3195 have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254, the sameG1565 nightG3588G3571 PeterG3588G4074 wasG1510 sleepingG2837 betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254: andG5037 the keepersG5441 beforeG4253 the doorG3588G2374 keptG5083 the prisonG3588G5438.
7AndG2532, beholdG3708, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 him, andG2532 a lightG5457 shinedG2989 inG1722 the prisonG3588G3612: andG1161 he smoteG3960 PeterG3588G4074 on the sideG3588G4125, and raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, AriseG450 upG1722 quicklyG5034. AndG2532 hisG846 chainsG3588G254 fell offG1601 fromG1537 his handsG3588G5495.
8AndG5037 the angelG3588G32 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, Gird thyselfG4024, andG2532 bind onG5265 thyG4771 sandalsG3588G4547. AndG1161 soG3779 he didG4160. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, CastG4016 thyG4771 garmentG3588G2440 about theeG4016, andG2532 followG190 meG1473.
9AndG2532 he went outG1831, and followedG190 himG846; andG2532 wistG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG1510 trueG227 which was doneG1096 byG1223 the angelG3588G32; butG1161 thoughtG1380 he sawG991 a visionG3705.
