  Acts   chapter 12

   1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth
  his hands to vex certain of the church.
   2 And he killed James the brother of John with the
  sword.
   3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he
  proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the
  days of unleavened bread.)
   4 And 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.
   5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was
  made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
   6 And 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.
   7 And, 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.
   8 And 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.
   9 And 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.
  10 When 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.
  11 And 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 And 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.
  13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a
  damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
  14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not
  the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter
  stood before the gate.
  15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she
  constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said
  they, It is his angel.
  16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had
  opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
  17 But 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.
  18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir
  among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
  19 And 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.
  20 And 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.
  21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal
  apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration
  unto them.
  22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the
  voice of a god, and not of a man.
  23 And 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.
  24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
  25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem,
  when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with
  them John, whose surname was Mark.
