|Atos 12:1| It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.
-
|Atos 12:2| He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
-
|Atos 12:3| When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread.
-
|Atos 12:4| After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.
-
|Atos 12:5| So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
-
|Atos 12:6| The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.
-
|Atos 12:7| Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
-
|Atos 12:8| Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him.
-
|Atos 12:9| Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.
-
|Atos 12:10| They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
