1 Now * g1161 about * g2596 that * g1565 time * g2540 Herod * g2264 the king * g935 stretched forth * g1911 g5627 his hands * g5495 to vex * g2559 g5658 certain * g5100 of * g575 the church * g1577. stretched...: or, began
2 And * g1161 he killed * g337 g5627 James * g2385 the brother * g80 of John * g2491 with the sword * g3162.
3 And * g2532 because he saw * g1492 g5631 it * g3754 pleased * g2076 g5748 * g701 the Jews * g2453, he proceeded further * g4369 g5639 to take * g4815 g5629 Peter * g4074 also * g2532. (Then * g1161 were * g2258 g5713 the days * g2250 of unleavened bread * g106.)
4 And * g3739 * g2532 when he had apprehended * g4084 g5660 him, he put * g5087 g5639 him in * g1519 prison * g5438, and delivered * g3860 g5631 him to four * g5064 quaternions * g5069 of soldiers * g4757 to keep * g5442 g5721 him * g846; intending * g1014 g5740 after * g3326 Easter * g3957 to bring * g321 him * g846 forth * g321 g5629 to the people * g2992. Easter: Gr. Passover quaternions: a file of four soldiers
5 Peter * g4074 * g3303 therefore * g3767 was kept * g5083 g5712 in * g1722 prison * g5438: but * g1161 prayer * g4335 was * g2258 g5713 made * g1096 g5740 without ceasing * g1618 of * g5259 the church * g1577 unto * g4314 God * g2316 for * g5228 him * g846. prayer...: or, instant and earnest prayer was made
6 And * g1161 when * g3753 Herod * g2264 would * g3195 g5707 have brought * g4254 him * g846 forth * g4254 g5721, the same * g1565 night * g3571 Peter * g4074 was * g2258 g5713 sleeping * g2837 g5746 between * g3342 two * g1417 soldiers * g4757, bound * g1210 g5772 with two * g1417 chains * g254: and * g5037 the keepers * g5441 before * g4253 the door * g2374 kept * g5083 g5707 the prison * g5438.
7 And * g2532, behold * g2400 g5628, the angel * g32 of the Lord * g2962 came upon * g2186 g5627 him , and * g2532 a light * g5457 shined * g2989 g5656 in * g1722 the prison * g3612: and * g1161 he smote * g3960 g5660 Peter * g4074 on the side * g4125, and raised * g1453 him * g846 up * g1453 g5656, saying * g3004 g5723, Arise up * g450 g5628 quickly * g1722 * g5034. And * g2532 his * g846 chains * g254 fell off * g1601 g5627 from * g1537 his hands * g5495.
8 And * g5037 the angel * g32 said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 him * g846, Gird thyself * g4024 g5669, and * g2532 bind on * g5265 g5669 thy * g4675 sandals * g4547. And * g1161 so * g3779 he did * g4160 g5656. And * g2532 he saith * g3004 g5719 unto him * g846, Cast * g4016 thy garment * g2440 about * g4016 g5640 thee * g4675, and * g2532 follow * g190 g5720 me * g3427.
9 And * g2532 he went out * g1831 g5631, and followed * g190 g5707 him * g846; and * g2532 wist * g1492 g5715 not * g3756 that * g3754 it was * g2076 g5748 true * g227 which * g3588 was done * g1096 g5740 by * g1223 the angel * g32; but * g1161 thought * g1380 g5707 he saw * g991 g5721 a vision * g3705.
10 When * g1161 they were past * g1330 g5631 the first * g4413 and * g2532 the second * g1208 ward * g5438, they came * g2064 g5627 unto * g1909 the iron * g4603 gate * g4439 that leadeth * g5342 g5723 unto * g1519 the city * g4172; which * g3748 opened * g455 g5681 to them * g846 of his own accord * g844: and * g2532 they went out * g1831 g5631, and passed on through * g4281 g5627 one * g3391 street * g4505; and * g2532 forthwith * g2112 the angel * g32 departed * g868 g5627 from * g575 him * g846.
11 And * g2532 when Peter * g4074 was come * g1096 g5637 to * g1722 himself * g1438, he said * g2036 g5627, Now * g3568 I know * g1492 g5758 of a surety * g230, that * g3754 the Lord * g2962 hath sent * g1821 g5656 his * g846 angel * g32, and * g2532 hath delivered * g1807 g5639 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 g5631 the thing , he came * g2064 g5627 to * g1909 the house * g3614 of Mary * g3137 the mother * g3384 of John * g2491, whose surname was * g1941 g5746 Mark * g3138; where * g3757 many * g2425 were * g2258 g5713 gathered together * g4867 g5772 praying * g2532 * g4336 g5740.
13 And * g1161 as Peter * g4074 knocked at * g2925 g5660 the door * g2374 of the gate * g4440, a damsel * g3814 came * g4334 g5627 to hearken * g5219 g5658, named * g3686 Rhoda * g4498. to hearken: or, to ask who was there
14 And * g2532 when she knew * g1921 g5631 Peter's * g4074 voice * g5456, she opened * g455 g5656 not * g3756 the gate * g4440 for * g575 gladness * g5479, but * g1161 ran in * g1532 g5631, and told how * g518 g5656 Peter * g4074 stood * g2476 g5760 before * g4253 the gate * g4440.
15 And * g1161 they said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 her * g846, Thou art mad * g3105 g5736. But * g1161 she constantly affirmed * g1340 g5711 that it was * g2192 g5721 even so * g3779. Then * g1161 said they * g3004 g5707, It is * g2076 g5748 his * g846 angel * g32.
16 But * g1161 Peter * g4074 continued * g1961 g5707 knocking * g2925 g5723: and * g1161 when they had opened * g455 g5660 the door , and saw * g1492 g5627 him * g846, * g2532 they were astonished * g1839 g5627.
17 But * g1161 he, beckoning * g2678 g5660 unto them * g846 with the hand * g5495 to hold their peace * g4601 g5721, declared * g1334 g5662 unto them * g846 how * g4459 the Lord * g2962 had brought * g1806 g5627 him * g846 out of * g1537 the prison * g5438. And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, Go shew * g518 g5657 these things * g5023 unto James * g2385, and * g2532 to the brethren * g80. And * g2532 he departed * g1831 g5631, and went * g4198 g5675 into * g1519 another * g2087 place * g5117.
18 Now * g1161 as soon as it was * g1096 g5637 day * g2250, there was * g2258 g5713 no * g3756 small * g3641 stir * g5017 among * g1722 the soldiers * g4757, what * g5101 * g686 was become * g1096 g5633 of Peter * g4074.
19 And * g1161 when * g1934 Herod * g2264 had sought for * g1934 g5660 him * g846, and * g2532 found him * g2147 g5631 not * g3361, he examined * g350 g5660 the keepers * g5441, and commanded * g2753 g5656 that they should be put to death * g520 g5683. And * g2532 he went down * g2718 g5631 from * g575 Judaea * g2449 to * g1519 Caesarea * g2542, and there abode * g1304 g5707.
20 And * g1161 Herod * g2264 was * g2258 g5713 highly displeased * g2371 g5723 with them of Tyre * g5183 and * g2532 Sidon * g4606: but * g1161 they came * g3918 g5713 with one accord * g3661 to * g4314 him * g846, and * g2532, having made * g3982 Blastus * g986 the king's * g935 chamberlain * g1909 * g2846 their friend * g3982 g5660, desired * g154 g5710 peace * g1515; because * g1223 their * g846 country * g5561 was nourished * g5142 g5745 by * g575 the king's * g937 country . was highly...: or, bare an hostile mind, intending war the king's chamberlain: Gr. that was over the king's bedchamber
21 And * g1161 upon a set * g5002 day * g2250 Herod * g2264, arrayed * g1746 g5671 in royal * g937 apparel * g2066, sat * g2523 g5660 upon * g1909 his throne * g968, and * g2532 made an oration * g1215 g5707 unto * g4314 them * g846.
22 And * g1161 the people * g1218 gave a shout * g2019 g5707, saying, It is the voice * g5456 of a god * g2316, and * g2532 not * g3756 of a man * g444.
23 And * g1161 immediately * g3916 the angel * g32 of the Lord * g2962 smote * g3960 g5656 him * g846, because * g473 * g3739 he gave * g1325 g5656 not * g3756 God * g2316 the glory * g1391: and * g2532 he was * g1096 g5637 eaten of worms * g4662, and gave up the ghost * g1634 g5656.
24 But * g1161 the word * g3056 of God * g2316 grew * g837 g5707 and * g2532 multiplied * g4129 g5712.
25 And * g1161 Barnabas * g921 and * g2532 Saul * g4569 returned * g5290 g5656 from * g1537 Jerusalem * g2419, when they had fulfilled * g4137 g5660 their ministry * g1248, and * g2532 took with them * g4838 g5631 John * g2491, whose surname was * g1941 g5685 Mark * g3138. ministry: or, charge
