1. Now[G1161] about[G2596] that[G1565] time[G2540] Herod[G2264] the king[G935] put forth[G1911] his hands[G5495] to afflict[G2559] certain[G5100] of[G575] the church[G1577].

2. And[G1161] he killed[G337] James[G2385] the brother[G80] of John[G2491] with the sword[G3162].

3. And[G2532] when[G3754] he saw[G1492] that[G2076] it pleased[G701] the Jews[G2453], he proceeded[G4369] to seize[G4815] Peter[G4074] also[G2532]. And[G1161] those were[G2258] the days[G2250] of unleavened bread[G106].

4. And[G2532] when[G3739] he had taken him[G4084], he put[G5087] him in[G1519] prison[G5438], and delivered[G3860] him to four[G5064] quaternions[G5069] of soldiers[G4757] to guard[G5442] him[G846]; intending[G1014] after[G3326] the Passover[G3957] to bring[G321] him[G846] forth[G321] to the people[G2992].

5. Peter[G4074] therefore[G3767, Ezekiel3] was kept[G5083] in[G1722] the prison[G5438]: but[G1161] prayer[G4335] was[G2258] made[G1096] earnestly[G1618] of[G5259] the church[G1577] unto[G4314] God[G2316] for[G5228] him[G846].

6. And[G1161] when[G3753] Herod[G2264] was about[G3195] to bring[G4254] him[G846] forth[G4254], the same[G1565] night[G3571] Peter[G4074] was[G2258] sleeping[G2837] between[G3342] two[G1417] soldiers[G4757], bound[G1210] with two[G1417] chains[G254]: and[G5037] guards[G5441] before[G4253] the door[G2374] kept[G5083] the prison[G5438].

7. And[G2532] behold[G2400], an angel[G32] of the Lord[G2962] stood by[G2186] him[G2532], and a light[G5457] shined[G2989] in[G1722] the cell[G3612]: and[G1161] he smote[G3960] Peter[G4074] on the side[G4125], and awoke[G1453] him[G846], [G1453] saying[G3004], Rise[G450] up[G1453] quickly[G5034]. And[G2532] his[G846] chains[G254] fell off[G1601] from[G1537] his hands[G5495].

8. And[G5037] the angel[G32] said[G2036] unto[G4314] him[G846], Gird thyself[G4024], and[G2532] bind on[G5265] thy[G4675] sandals[G4547]. And[G1161] he did[G4160] so[G3779]. And[G2532] he saith[G3004] unto him[G846], Cast[G4016] thy[G4675] garment[G2440] about thee[G4016], and[G2532] follow[G190] me[G3427].

9. And[G2532] he went out[G1831], and followed[G190]; [G846] and[G2532] he knew[G1492] not[G3756] that[G3754] it was[G2076] true[G227] which was done[G1096] by[G1223] the angel[G32], but[G1161] thought[G1380] he saw[G991] a vision[G3705].

10. And when[G1161] they were past[G1330] the first[G4413] and[G2532] the second[G1208] guard[G5438], they came[G2064] unto[G1909] the iron[G4603] gate[G4439] that leadeth[G5342] into the city[G4172]; which[G3748] opened[G455] to[G1519] them[G846] of its own accord[G844]: and[G2532] they went out[G1831], and passed on through[G4281] one[G1520] street[G4505]; and[G2532] straightway[G2112] the angel[G32] departed[G868] from[G575] him[G846].

11. And when[G2532] Peter[G4074] was come[G1096] to[G1722] himself[G1438], he said[G2036], Now[G3568] I know[G1492] of a truth[G230], that[G3754] the Lord[G2962] hath sent[G1821] forth his[G846] angel[G32] and[G2532] delivered[G1807] me[G3165] out of[G1537] the hand[G5495] of Herod[G2264], and[G2532] from all[G3956] the expectation[G4329] of the people[G2992] of the Jews[G2453].

12. And[G5037] when he had considered[G4894] the thing[G2064], he came to[G1909] the house[G3614] of Mary[G3137] the mother[G3384] of John[G2491] whose surname was[G1941] Mark[G3138]; where[G3757] many[G2425] were[G2258] gathered together[G4867] and[G2532] were praying[G4336].

13. And when[G1161] he[G4074] knocked[G2925] at the door[G2374] of the gate[G4440], a maid[G3814] came[G4334] to answer[G5219], named[G3686] Rhoda[G4498].

14. And[G2532] when she knew[G1921] Peter[G4074]'s voice[G5456], she opened[G455] not[G3756] the gate[G4440] for[G575] joy[G5479], but[G1161] ran in[G1532], and told[G518] that[G2476] Peter[G4074] stood[G2476] before[G4253] the gate[G4440].

15. And[G1161] they said[G2036] unto[G4314] her[G846], Thou art mad[G3105]. But[G1161] she confidently affirmed[G1340] that it was[G2192] even so[G3779]. And[G1161] they[G3004] said[G2076], It is his[G846] angel[G32].

16. But[G1161] Peter[G4074] continued[G1961] knocking[G2925]: and[G1161] when they had opened[G455], they saw[G1492] him[G2532], and were amazed[G1839].

17. But[G1161] he[G2678], beckoning unto them[G846] with the hand[G5495] to hold their peace[G4601], declared[G1334] unto them[G846] how[G4459] the Lord[G2962] had brought[G1806] him[G846] forth out of[G1537] the prison[G5438]. And[G1161] he said[G2036], Tell[G518] these things[G5023] unto James[G2385], and[G2532] to the brethren[G80]. And[G2532] he departed[G1831], and went[G4198] to[G1519] another[G2087] place[G5117].

18. Now[G1161] as soon as it was[G1096] day[G2250], there was[G2258] no[G3756] small[G3641] stir[G5017] among[G1722] the soldiers[G4757], what[G5101, 687] was become[G1096] of Peter[G4074].

19. And[G1161] when Herod[G2264] had sought[G1934] for him[G846], and[G2532] found him[G2147] not[G3361], he examined[G350] the guards[G5441], and commanded that[G2753] they should be put to death[G520]. And[G2532] he went down[G2718] from[G575] Judaea[G2449] to[G1519] Caesarea[G2542], and[G1304] tarried there[G1304].

20. Now[G1161] he[G2264] was[G2258] highly displeased[G2371] with them of Tyre[G5183] and[G2532] Sidon[G4606]: and[G1161] they came[G3918] with one accord[G3661] to[G4314] him[G846], and[G2532], having made[G3982] Blastus[G986] the king[G935]'s [G1909] chamberlain[G2846] their friend[G3982], they asked[G154] for peace[G1515], because[G1223] their[G846] country[G5561] was fed[G5142] from[G575] the king[G937]'s country.

21. And[G1161] upon a set[G5002] day[G2250] Herod[G2264] arrayed himself in[G1746] royal[G937] apparel[G2532], and sat[G2523] on[G1909] the throne[G968], and made an oration[G1215] unto[G4314] them[G846].

22. And[G1161] the people[G1218] shouted[G2019], saying[G5456], The voice of a god[G2316], and[G2532] not[G3756] of a man[G444].

23. And[G1161] immediately[G3916] an angel[G32] of the Lord[G2962] smote[G3960] him[G846], because[G473, 3739] he gave[G1325] not[G3756] God[G2316] the glory[G1391]: and[G2532] he was[G1096] eaten of worms[G4662], and gave up the ghost[G1634].

24. But[G1161] the word[G3056] of God[G2316] grew[G837] and[G2532] multiplied[G4129].

25. And[G1161] Barnabas[G921] and[G2532] Saul[G4569] returned[G5290] from[G1537] Jerusalem[G2419], when they had fulfilled[G4137] their ministration[G1248], taking[G2532] with them[G4838] John[G2491] whose surname was[G1941] Mark[G3138].
