Acts 12:1-6

CLV(i) 1 Now at that season Herod the king put forth his hands to illtreat some from the ecclesia. 2 Now he assassinated James, the brother of John, with the sword." 3 Now perceiving that it is pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also (now they were the days of unleavened bread), 4 whom, arresting also, he placed in jail, giving him over to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to lead him up to the people." 5 Peter, indeed, then, was kept in the jail, yet prayer was earnestly made by the ecclesia to God concerning him." 6 Now when Herod was about to be leading him to them, in that night Peter was reposing between two soldiers, bound with two chains, besides which guards before the door kept the jail."
