Acts - Chapter: 12


12:1Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
12:2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
12:3And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
12:4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
12:5Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
12:6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
12:7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
12:8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
12:9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
12:10When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
12:11And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12:12And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
12:13And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
12:14And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
12:15And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
12:16But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
12:17But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
12:18Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
12:19And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
12:20And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
12:21And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
12:22And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
12:23And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
12:24But the word of God grew and multiplied.
12:25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

 

12:1Nowe about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hands to vexe certaine of the Church,
12:2And he killed Iames the brother of Iohn with the sword.
12:3And when he sawe that it pleased the Iewes, he proceeded further, to take Peter also (then were the dayes of vnleauened bread.)
12:4And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and deliuered him to foure quaternions of souldiers to be kept, intending after the Passeouer to bring him foorth to the people.
12:5So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer was made of ye Church vnto God for him.
12:6And when Herod woulde haue brought him out vnto the people, the same night slept Peter betweene two souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the keepers before the doore, kept the prison.
12:7And behold the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and a light shined in the house, and he smote Peter on the side, and raysed him vp, saying, Arise quickely. And his chaines fell off from his handes.
12:8And the Angel saide vnto him, Girde thy selfe, and binde on thy sandales. And so he did. Then he said vnto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
12:9So Peter came out and followed him, and knewe not that it was true, which was done by the Angel, but thought he had seene a vision.
12:10Nowe when they were past the first and the second watch, they came vnto the yron gate, that leadeth vnto the citie, which opened to them by it owne accord, and they went out, and passed through one streete, and by and by the Angel departed from him.

12:12And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Marie, the mother of Iohn, whose surname was Marke, where many were gathered together, and prayed.
12:13And when Peter knocked at the entrie doore, a maide came foorth to hearken, named Rhode,
