Berean Standard Bible
And
about that time, Herod
the
king put
forth
his
hands,
to do
evil
to certain
of
those
of
the assembly,
About that time, King Herod
reached
out
to harm
some
who
belonged
to the church.
and
he killed
James, the brother of John, with the sword ,
He had
James, the brother of John, put
to
death
with the sword .
and having
seen
that it
is
pleasing
to
the Jews, he
added
to lay
hold
of
Peter also
--
and
they
were
the days
of the
unleavened food
--
And seeing
that this
pleased
the Jews, Herod
proceeded
to seize
Peter during
the Feast
of Unleavened Bread.
whom
also
having
seized,
he did
put in prison, having
delivered
`
him '
to four quaternions
of soldiers to
guard
him,
intending
after
the
passover
to bring him forth
to the people.
He arrested
him
and
put him
in prison, handing
him over
to be
guarded
by
four squads
of four
soldiers each.
Herod
intended
to bring him out
to the people after
the
Passover
.
Peter ,
therefore,
indeed,
was kept in the
prison, and
fervent
prayer
was
being
made
by
the assembly
unto
God for him ,
So
Peter was kept in prison, but
the church
was
fervently
praying
to
God for him .
and
when
Herod was about
to bring him forth
, the
same
night
was
Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having
been
bound with two chains, guards
also
before
the door
were
keeping
the prison ,
On
the
night
before
Herod was to bring him to
trial
, Peter was
sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with
sentries
standing
guard
at
the entrance
to
the prison .
and
lo,
a
messenger
of the Lord stood
by,
and a light shone in the buildings,
and
having
smitten
Peter on the side ,
he
raised
him up, saying, `Rise
in
haste,'
and his
chains fell from
off `
his '
hands
.
Suddenly
an
angel
of the Lord appeared
and a light shone in the cell.
He
tapped
Peter on the side and
woke
him up, saying, “Get
up
quickly.”
And the
chains fell off his wrists
.
The
messenger
also
said
to
him,
`Gird
thyself,
and bind
on thy
sandals ;'
and
he
did so ;
and he
saith
to
him, `Put
thy
garment
round
and be
following
me ;'
“Get
dressed
and put
on your
sandals ,”
said
the
angel.
Peter
did so ,
and the
angel
told
him, “Wrap
your
cloak
around
you
and follow
me .”
and
having
gone
forth,
he
was
following
him, and
he knew
not
that
it
is
true
that which
is
done
through
the messenger,
and
was thinking
he saw
a vision ,
So
Peter
followed
him out
, but
he was
unaware
that what
the angel
was doing
was
real.
He thought
he
was
only
seeing
a vision .
and
having
passed through
a
first ward,
and a
second ,
they
came unto
the iron gate that
is
leading to the city, which of
its
own
accord
did
open
to
them ,
and
having
gone
forth,
they went
on
through
one street
, and
immediately
the messenger
departed
from
him.
They
passed the
first and second guards
and
came to
the iron gate leading to the city, which opened
for
them by
itself.
When
they had
gone
outside
and
walked
the
length
of
one block
, the angel
suddenly
left
him.
And
Peter having
come
to himself ,
said, `
Now I have
known
of
a
truth
that the Lord did
sent forth
His messenger,
and did
deliver
me out
of
the
hand
of
Herod,
and all
the
expectation
of
the people of
the
Jews;'
Then
Peter came
to himself and
said, “
Now I know
for
sure
that the Lord has
sent His angel
and rescued
me from
Herod’s
grasp
and from
everything
the Jewish
people were
anticipating.”
also,
having
considered
, he came
unto
the house of Mary ,
the mother of John, who
is
surnamed
Mark, where there
were
many thronged
together and praying.
And
when
he
had
realized
this
, he went
to
the house of Mary the mother of John, also
called
Mark, where many people
had
gathered
together and were
praying.
And
Peter
having
knocked at the door
of
the
porch
, there
came
a damsel
to
hearken,
by
name
Rhoda ,
He
knocked at the outer
gate
, and
a servant
girl
named
Rhoda came
to
answer
it.
and
having
known
the
voice of
Peter
, from
the
joy
she did
not
open the porch
, but having
run
in
, told
of
the
standing
of
Peter before
the porch,
When
she
recognized
Peter’s
voice, she was
so
overjoyed
that
she
forgot
to
open the gate
, but ran
inside
and
announced
, “
Peter is
standing
at
the gate!”
and
they said
unto
her ,
`Thou
art
mad;'
and
she was
confidently
affirming
`
it '
to
be
so, and
they said, `
It is
his messenger;'
“You
are
out
of
your
mind,”
they told
her .
But
when
she kept
insisting
it was
so, they said, “
It must
be
his angel.”
and
Peter was
continuing
knocking, and having
opened,
they saw him, and
were astonished,
But
Peter kept
on
knocking, and when
they opened
the
door
and
saw him, they
were astounded.
and
having
beckoned
to
them
with the
hand to
be
silent
, he declared
to
them
how the Lord brought him out of the prison ,
and
he
said,
`Declare
to James and to the brethren
these
things;'
and
having
gone
forth
, he went
on
to
another place.
Peter
motioned
with his
hand for
silence
, and
he described
how the Lord had
brought him out of the prison .
“Send
word
to James and to the brothers
, ”
he said,
and
he
left
for
another place.
And
day
having
come,
there was not
a
little
stir
among the soldiers what then
was
become of Peter ,
At
daybreak
there was no
small
commotion
among the soldiers as
to
what had
become of Peter .
and
Herod having
sought
for him ,
and
not
having
found
, having
examined the guards ,
did
command
`them'
to
be
led
away
to
punishment,
and having
gone
down from Judea to Cesarea,
he
was
abiding
`
there '
.
After
Herod had
searched
for him unsuccessfully
, he
examined the guards and ordered
that
they
be
executed.
Then
he
went
down from Judea to Caesarea
and
spent
some
time
there.
And
Herod was highly
displeased
with the Tyrians
and Sidonians
, and with
one
accord
they came
unto
him ,
and
having made
a
friend
of Blastus, who
`is'
over
the bed-chambers
of
the
king
, they were
asking
peace, because of
their country
being
nourished
from
the king's;
Now
Herod was in
a
furious
dispute
with the people
of
Tyre
and Sidon
, and they convened
before
him .
Having secured
the
support
of Blastus, the king’s
chamberlain
, they asked
for
peace, because their region
depended
on
the king’s
country
for
food.
and
on a
set
day, Herod having
arrayed
himself
in
kingly
apparel
, and
having
sat down
upon
the
tribunal,
was
making
an
oration
unto
them
,
On the
appointed
day, Herod donned
his
royal
robes
, sat on
his
throne
, and
addressed
the
people.
and the
populace
were
shouting
, `
The voice of a god, and
not of
a man ;'
And they
began
to
shout
, “This
is
the voice of a god, not a man !”
and
presently
there
smote
him
a
messenger
of
the
Lord
, because he
did not give the
glory to God, and
having
been
eaten
of worms
, he expired
.
Immediately
, because Herod
did not give glory to God, an
angel
of the
Lord
struck
him
down
, and
he was
eaten
by
worms
and
died
.
And
the word of God did
grow
and did
multiply ,
But
the word of God continued
to
spread
and multiply .
and
Barnabas and Saul did
turn
back
out
of
Jerusalem, having
fulfilled
the
ministration
, having
taken
also
with `
them '
John, who
was
surnamed
Mark.
When
Barnabas and Saul had
fulfilled
their
mission
to
Jerusalem, they
returned
, bringing
with them John, also
called
Mark.
