Chapter 12
Now
about
that
time,
Herode
the
King
stretched
foorth
his
hands,
to
vexe
certaine
of
the
Church.
2
And
he
killed
Iames
the
brother
of
Iohn
with
the
sword.
3
And
because
he
saw
it
pleased
the
Iewes,
hee
proceeded
further,
to
take
Peter
also.
(Then
were
the
dayes
of
vnleauened
bread.)
4
And
when
hee
had
apprehended
him,
hee
put
him
in
prison,
and
deliuered
him
to
foure
quaternions
of
souldiers
to
keepe
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
vnto
God
for
him.
6
And
when
Herode
would
haue
brought
him
foorth,
the
same
night
Peter
was
sleeping
betweene
two
Souldiers,
bound
with
two
chaines,
and
the
Keepers
before
the
doore
kept
the
prison.
7
And
beholde,
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
came
vpon
him,
and
a
light
shined
in
the
prison:
and
hee
smote
Peter
on
the
side,
and
raised
him
vp,
saying,
Arise
vp
quickely.
And
his
chaines
fell
off
from
his
hands.
8
And
the
Angel
said
vnto
him,
Girde
thy
selfe,
and
binde
on
thy
sandales:
And
so
he
did.
And
he
sayth
vnto
him,
Cast
thy
garment
about
thee,
and
follow
me.
9
And
hee
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
vnto
the
yron
gate
that
leadeth
vnto
the
citie,
which
opened
to
them
of
his
owne
accord:
and
they
went
out
and
passed
on
thorow
one
streete,
and
foorthwith
the
Angel
departed
from
him.
11
And
when
Peter
was
come
to
himselfe,
hee
said,
Now
I
know
of
a
suretie,
that
the
Lord
hath
sent
his
Angel,
and
hath
deliuered
mee
out
of
the
hand
of
Herode,
and
from
all
the
expectation
of
the
people
of
the
Iewes.
12
And
when
he
had
considered
the
thing,
he
came
to
the
house
of
Mary
the
mother
of
Iohn
whose
sirname
was
Marke,
where
many
were
gathered
together
praying.
13
And
as
Peter
knocked
at
the
doore
of
the
gate,
a
damosell
came
to
hearken,
named
Rhoda.
14
And
when
she
knew
Peters
voice,
she
opened
not
the
gate
for
gladnes,
but
ran
in,
and
told
how
Peter
stood
before
the
gate.
15
And
they
said
vnto
her,
Thou
art
mad.
But
she
constantly
affirmed
that
it
was
euen
so.
Then
said
they,
It
it
his
Angel.
16
But
Peter
continued
knocking:
and
when
they
had
opened
the
doore,
and
saw
him,
they
were
astonished.
17
But
he
beckening
vnto
them
with
the
hand,
to
hold
their
peace,
declared
vnto
them
how
the
Lord
had
brought
him
out
of
the
prison:
And
he
said,
Goe
shew
these
things
vnto
Iames,
and
to
the
brethren.
And
he
departed,
and
went
into
another
place.
18
Now
assoone
as
it
was
day,
there
was
no
smal
stirre
among
the
souldiers,
what
was
become
of
Peter.
19
And
when
Herode
had
sought
for
him,
and
found
him
not,
hee
examined
the
keepers,
and
commanded
that
they
should
be
put
to
death.
And
hee
went
downe
from
Iudea
to
Cesarea,
&
there
abode.
20
And
Herode
was
highly
displeased
with
them
of
Tyre
and
Sidon:
but
they
came
with
one
accord
to
him,
and
hauing
made
Blastus
the
kings
chamberlaine
their
friend,
desired
peace,
because
their
countrey
was
nourished
by
the
kings
countrey.
21
And
vpon
a
set
day
Herod
arayed
in
royall
apparell,
sate
vpon
his
throne,
and
made
an
Oration
vnto
them.
22
And
the
people
gaue
a
shout,
saying,
It
is
the
voice
of
a
God,
and
not
of
a
man.
23
And
immediatly
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
smote
him,
because
hee
gaue
not
God
the
glory,
and
hee
was
eaten
of
wormes,
and
gaue
vp
the
ghost.
24
But
the
word
of
God
grewe,
and
multiplied.
25
And
Barnabas
and
Saul
returned
from
Hierusalem,
when
they
had
fulfilled
their
ministerie,
and
tooke
with
them
Iohn,
whose
syrname
was
Marke.
