* Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth (5627 ) his hands to vex (5658 ) certain of the church . * And he killed (5627 ) James the brother of John with the sword . * And because he saw (5631 ) it pleased (5748 ) the Jews , he proceeded further (5639 ) to take (5629 ) Peter also . (Then were (5713 ) the days of unleavened bread .) * And when he had apprehended (5660 ) him , he put (5639 ) him in prison , and delivered (5631 ) him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep (5721 ) him ; intending (5740 ) after Easter to bring him forth (5629 ) to the people . * Peter therefore was kept (5712 ) in prison : but prayer was (5713 ) made (5740 ) without ceasing of the church unto God for him . * And when Herod would (5707 ) have brought him forth (5721 ), the same night Peter was (5713 ) sleeping (5746 ) between two soldiers , bound (5772 ) with two chains : and the keepers before the door kept (5707 ) the prison .
