| [1]NowG1161 aboutG2596 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 stretched forthG1911[G5627] his handsG5495 to vexG2559[G5658] certainG5100 ofG575 the churchG1577. |
[1]Now about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the Church. |
| [2]AndG1161 he killedG337[G5627] JamesG2385 the brotherG80 of JohnG2491 with the swordG3162. |
[2]And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. |
| [3]AndG2532 because he sawG1492[G5631] itG3754 pleasedG2076[G5748][G701] the JewsG2453, he proceeded furtherG4369[G5639] to takeG4815[G5629] PeterG4074 alsoG2532. (ThenG1161 wereG2258[G5713] the daysG2250 of unleavened breadG106.) |
[3]And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further, to take Peter also (then were the days of unleavened bread.) |
| [4]AndG3739[G2532] when he had apprehendedG4084[G5660] him, he putG5087[G5639] him inG1519 prisonG5438, and deliveredG3860[G5631] him to fourG5064 quaternionsG5069 of soldiersG4757 to keepG5442[G5721] himG846; intendingG1014[G5740] afterG3326 EasterG3957 to bringG321 himG846 forthG321[G5629] to the peopleG2992. |
[4]And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to be kept, intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people. |
| [5]PeterG4074[G3303] thereforeG3767 was keptG5083[G5712] inG1722 prisonG5438: butG1161 prayerG4335 wasG2258[G5713] madeG1096[G5740] without ceasingG1618 ofG5259 the churchG1577 untoG4314 GodG2316 forG5228 himG846. |
[5]So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer was made of the Church unto God for him. |
| [6]AndG1161 whenG3753 HerodG2264 wouldG3195[G5707] have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254[G5721], the sameG1565 nightG3571 PeterG4074 wasG2258[G5713] sleepingG2837[G5746] betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210[G5772] with twoG1417 chainsG254: andG5037 the keepersG5441 beforeG4253 the doorG2374 keptG5083[G5707] the prisonG5438. |
[6]And when Herod would have brought him out unto the people, the same night slept Peter between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and the keepers before the door kept the prison. |
| [7]AndG2532, beholdG2400[G5628], the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186[G5627] him, andG2532 a lightG5457 shinedG2989[G5656] inG1722 the prisonG3612: andG1161 he smoteG3960[G5660] PeterG4074 on the sideG4125, and raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453[G5656], sayingG3004[G5723], Arise upG450[G5628] quicklyG1722[G5034]. AndG2532 hisG846 chainsG254 fell offG1601[G5627] fromG1537 his handsG5495. |
[7]And behold, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and a light shined in the house, and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. |
| [8]AndG5037 the angelG32 saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 himG846, Gird thyselfG4024[G5669], andG2532 bind onG5265[G5669] thyG4675 sandalsG4547. AndG1161 soG3779 he didG4160[G5656]. AndG2532 he saithG3004[G5719] unto himG846, CastG4016 thy garmentG2440 aboutG4016[G5640] theeG4675, andG2532 followG190[G5720] meG3427. |
[8]And the Angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. Then he said unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. |
| [9]AndG2532 he went outG1831[G5631], and followedG190[G5707] himG846; andG2532 wistG1492[G5715] notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076[G5748] trueG227 whichG3588 was doneG1096[G5740] byG1223 the angelG32; butG1161 thoughtG1380[G5707] he sawG991[G5721] a visionG3705. |
[9]So Peter came out and followed him, and knew not that it was true, which was done by the Angel, but thought he had seen a vision. |
| [10]WhenG1161 they were pastG1330[G5631] the firstG4413 andG2532 the secondG1208 wardG5438, they cameG2064[G5627] untoG1909 the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadethG5342[G5723] untoG1519 the cityG4172; whichG3748 openedG455[G5681] to themG846 of his own accordG844: andG2532 they went outG1831[G5631], and passed on throughG4281[G5627] oneG3391 streetG4505; andG2532 forthwithG2112 the angelG32 departedG868[G5627] fromG575 himG846. |
[10]Now when they were past the first and the second watch, they came unto the iron gate, that leadeth unto the city, which opened to them by it own accord, and they went out, and passed through one street, and by and by the Angel departed from him. |
| [11]AndG2532 when PeterG4074 was comeG1096[G5637] toG1722 himselfG1438, he saidG2036[G5627], NowG3568 I knowG1492[G5758] of a suretyG230, thatG3754 the LordG2962 hath sentG1821[G5656] hisG846 angelG32, andG2532 hath deliveredG1807[G5639] meG3165 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of HerodG2264, andG2532 from allG3956 the expectationG4329 of the peopleG2992 of the JewsG2453. |
[11]Â And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know for a truth, that the Lord hath sent his Angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the waiting for of the people of the Jews. |
| [12]AndG5037 when he had consideredG4894[G5631] the thing, he cameG2064[G5627] toG1909 the houseG3614 of MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941[G5746] MarkG3138; whereG3757 manyG2425 wereG2258[G5713] gathered togetherG4867[G5772] prayingG2532[G4336].[G5740] |
[12]And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and prayed. |
| [13]AndG1161 as PeterG4074 knocked atG2925[G5660] the doorG2374 of the gateG4440, a damselG3814 cameG4334[G5627] to hearkenG5219[G5658], namedG3686 RhodaG4498. |
[13]And when Peter knocked at the entry door, a maid came forth to hearken, named Rhoda, |
| [14]AndG2532 when she knewG1921[G5631] Peter'sG4074 voiceG5456, she openedG455[G5656] notG3756 the gateG4440 forG575 gladnessG5479, butG1161 ran inG1532[G5631], and told howG518[G5656] PeterG4074 stoodG2476[G5760] beforeG4253 the gateG4440. |
[14]But when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the entry door for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the entry. |
| [15]AndG1161 they saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105[G5736]. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340[G5711] that it wasG2192[G5721] even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004[G5707], It isG2076[G5748] hisG846 angelG32. |
[15]But they said unto her, Thou art mad. Yet she affirmed it constantly, that it was so. Then said they, It is his Angel. |
| [16]ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961[G5707] knockingG2925[G5723]: andG1161 when they had openedG455[G5660] the door, and sawG1492[G5627] himG846,[G2532] they were astonishedG1839.[G5627] |
[16]But Peter continued knocking, and when they had opened it, and saw him, they were astonished. |
| [17]ButG1161 he, beckoningG2678[G5660] unto themG846 with the handG5495 to hold their peaceG4601[G5721], declaredG1334[G5662] unto themG846 howG4459 the LordG2962 had broughtG1806[G5627] himG846 out ofG1537 the prisonG5438. AndG1161 he saidG2036[G5627], Go shewG518[G5657] these thingsG5023 unto JamesG2385, andG2532 to the brethrenG80. AndG2532 he departedG1831[G5631], and wentG4198[G5675] intoG1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117. |
[17]And he beckoned unto them with the hand, to hold their peace, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go show these things unto James and to the brethren: and he departed and went into another place. |
| [18]NowG1161 as soon as it wasG1096[G5637] dayG2250, there wasG2258[G5713] noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 amongG1722 the soldiersG4757, whatG5101[G686] was becomeG1096[G5633] of PeterG4074. |
[18]Â Now as soon as it was day, there was no small trouble among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. |
| [19]AndG1161 whenG1934 HerodG2264 had sought forG1934[G5660] himG846, andG2532 found himG2147[G5631] notG3361, he examinedG350[G5660] the keepersG5441, and commandedG2753[G5656] that they should be put to deathG520[G5683]. AndG2532 he went downG2718[G5631] fromG575 JudaeaG2449 toG1519 CaesareaG2542, and there abodeG1304.[G5707] |
[19]And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded them to be led to be punished. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and there abode. |
| [20]AndG1161 HerodG2264 wasG2258[G5713] highly displeasedG2371[G5723] with them of TyreG5183 andG2532 SidonG4606: butG1161 they cameG3918[G5713] with one accordG3661 toG4314 himG846, andG2532, having madeG3982 BlastusG986 the king'sG935 chamberlainG1909[G2846] their friendG3982[G5660], desiredG154[G5710] peaceG1515; becauseG1223 theirG846 countryG5561 was nourishedG5142[G5745] byG575 the king's countryG937. |
[20]Then Herod intended to make war against them of Tyrus and Sidon, but they came all with one accord unto him, and persuaded Blastus the King's Chamberlain, and they desired peace, because their country was nourished by the King's land. |
| [21]AndG1161 upon a setG5002 dayG2250 HerodG2264, arrayedG1746[G5671] in royalG937 apparelG2066, satG2523[G5660] uponG1909 his throneG968, andG2532 made an orationG1215[G5707] untoG4314 themG846. |
[21]And upon a day appointed, Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the judgment seat, and made an oration unto them. |
| [22]AndG1161 the peopleG1218 gave a shoutG2019[G5707], saying, It is the voiceG5456 of a godG2316, andG2532 notG3756 of a manG444. |
[22]And the people gave a shout, saying, The voice of God, and not of man. |
| [23]AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 smoteG3960[G5656] himG846, becauseG473[G3739] he gaveG1325[G5656] notG3756 GodG2316 the gloryG1391: andG2532 he wasG1096[G5637] eaten of wormsG4662, and gave up the ghostG1634.[G5656] |
[23]But immediately the Angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not glory unto God, so that he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. |
| [24]ButG1161 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 grewG837[G5707] andG2532 multipliedG4129.[G5712] |
[24]And the word of God grew, and multiplied. |
| [25]AndG1161 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 returnedG5290[G5656] fromG1537 JerusalemG2419, when they had fulfilledG4137[G5660] their ministryG1248, andG2532 took with themG4838[G5631] JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941[G5685] MarkG3138. |
[25]So Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark. |
