*
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 .
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
the angel of the Lord came upon (
5627 )
him ,
and a light shined (
5656 )
in the prison :
and he smote (
5660 )
Peter on the side ,
and raised him up (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Arise up (
5628 )
quickly .
And his chains fell off (
5627 )
from his hands .
*
And the angel said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Gird thyself (
5669 ),
and bind on (
5669 )
thy sandals .
And so he did (
5656 ).
And he saith (
5719 )
unto him ,
Cast thy garment about (
5640 )
thee ,
and follow (
5720 )
me .
*
And he went out (
5631 ),
and followed (
5707 )
him ;
and wist (
5715 )
not that it was (
5748 )
true which was done (
5740 )
by the angel ;
but thought (
5707 )
he saw (
5721 )
a vision .
*
When they were past (
5631 )
the first and the second ward ,
they came (
5627 )
unto the iron gate that leadeth (
5723 )
unto the city ;
which opened (
5681 )
to them of his own accord :
and they went out (
5631 ),
and passed on through (
5627 )
one street ;
and forthwith the angel departed (
5627 )
from him .
*
And when Peter was come (
5637 )
to himself ,
he said (
5627 ),
Now I know (
5758 )
of a surety ,
that the Lord hath sent (
5656 )
his angel ,
and hath delivered (
5639 )
me out of the hand of Herod ,
and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews .
*
And when he had considered (
5631 )
the thing ,
he came (
5627 )
to the house of Mary the mother of John ,
whose surname was (
5746 )
Mark ;
where many were (
5713 )
gathered together (
5772 )
praying (
5740 ).
*
And as Peter knocked at (
5660 )
the door of the gate ,
a damsel came (
5627 )
to hearken (
5658 ),
named Rhoda .
*
And when she knew (
5631 )
Peters voice ,
she opened (
5656 )
not the gate for gladness ,
but ran in (
5631 ),
and told how (
5656 )
Peter stood (
5760 )
before the gate .
*
And they said (
5627 )
unto her ,
Thou art mad (
5736 ).
But she constantly affirmed (
5711 )
that it was (
5721 )
even so .
Then said they (
5707 ),
It is (
5748 )
his angel .
*
But Peter continued (
5707 )
knocking (
5723 ):
and when they had opened (
5660 )
the door ,
and saw (
5627 )
him ,
they were astonished (
5627 ).
*
But he ,
beckoning (
5660 )
unto them with the hand to hold their peace (
5721 ),
declared (
5662 )
unto them how the Lord had brought (
5627 )
him out of the prison .
And he said (
5627 ),
Go shew (
5657 )
these things unto James ,
and to the brethren .
And he departed (
5631 ),
and went (
5675 )
into another place .
*
Now as soon as it was (
5637 )
day ,
there was (
5713 )
no small stir among the soldiers ,
what was become (
5633 )
of Peter .
*
And when Herod had sought for (
5660 )
him ,
and found him (
5631 )
not ,
he examined (
5660 )
the keepers ,
and commanded (
5656 )
that they should be put to death (
5683 ).
And he went down (
5631 )
from Judaea to Caesarea ,
and there abode (
5707 ).
*
And Herod was (
5713 )
highly displeased (
5723 )
with them of Tyre and Sidon :
but they came (
5713 )
with one accord to him ,
and ,
having made Blastus the kings chamberlain their friend (
5660 ),
desired (
5710 )
peace ;
because their country was nourished (
5745 )
by the kings country .
*
And upon a set day Herod ,
arrayed (
5671 )
in royal apparel ,
sat (
5660 )
upon his throne ,
and made an oration (
5707 )
unto them .
*
And the people gave a shout (
5707 ),
saying ,
It is the voice of a god ,
and not of a man .
*
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote (
5656 )
him ,
because he gave (
5656 )
not God the glory :
and he was (
5637 )
eaten of worms ,
and gave up the ghost (
5656 ).
*
But the word of God grew (
5707 )
and multiplied (
5712 ).
*
And Barnabas and Saul returned (
5656 )
from Jerusalem ,
when they had fulfilled (
5660 )
their ministry ,
and took with them (
5631 )
John ,
whose surname was (
5685 )
Mark .
