1 # Now <1161> about <2596> that <1565> time <2540> Herod <2264> the king <935> stretched forth <1911> (5627) his hands <5495> to vex <2559> (5658) certain <5100> of <575> the church <1577>.
 - KAIROS - TIME
2 And <1161> he killed <337> (5627) James <2385> the brother <80> of John <2491> with the sword <3162>.
3 And <2532> because he saw <1492> (5631) it <3754> pleased <2076> (5748) <701> the Jews <2453>, he proceeded further <4369> (5639) to take <4815> (5629) Peter <4074> also <2532>. (Then <1161> were <2258> (5713) the days <2250> of unleavened bread <106>.)
4 And <3739> <2532> when he had apprehended <4084> (5660) him, he put <5087> (5639) him in <1519> prison <5438>, and delivered <3860> (5631) him to four <5064> quaternions <5069> of soldiers <4757> to keep <5442> (5721) him <846>; intending <1014> (5740) after <3326> Easter <3957> to bring <321> <0> him <846> forth <321> (5629) to the people <2992>.
5 # Peter <4074> <3303> therefore <3767> was kept <5083> (5712) in <1722> prison <5438>: but <1161> prayer <4335> was <2258> (5713) made <1096> (5740) without ceasing <1618> of <5259> the church <1577> unto <4314> God <2316> for <5228> him <846>.
6 And <1161> when <3753> Herod <2264> would <3195> (5707) have brought <4254> <0> him <846> forth <4254> (5721), the same <1565> night <3571> Peter <4074> was <2258> (5713) sleeping <2837> (5746) between <3342> two <1417> soldiers <4757>, bound <1210> (5772) with two <1417> chains <254> : and <5037> the keepers <5441> before <4253> the door <2374> kept <5083> (5707) the prison <5438>.
7 And <2532>, behold <2400> (5628), the angel <32> of the Lord <2962> came upon <2186> (5627) him, and <2532> a light <5457> shined <2989> (5656) in <1722> the prison <3612>: and <1161> he smote <3960> (5660) Peter <4074> on the side <4125>, and raised <1453> <0> him <846> up <1453> (5656) , saying <3004> (5723), Arise up <450> (5628) quickly <1722> <5034>. And <2532> his <846> chains <254> fell off <1601> (5627) from <1537> his hands <5495>.

8 And <5037> the angel <32> said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> him <846>, Gird thyself <4024> (5669), and <2532> bind on <5265> (5669) thy <4675> sandals <4547>. And <1161> so <3779> he did <4160> (5656). And <2532> he saith <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, Cast <4016> <0> thy garment <2440> about <4016> (5640) thee <4675>, and <2532> follow <190> (5720) me <3427>.
9 And <2532> he went out <1831> (5631), and followed <190> (5707) him <846>; and <2532> wist <1492> (5715) not <3756> that <3754> it was <2076> (5748) true <227> which <3588> was done <1096> (5740) by <1223> the angel <32>; but <1161> thought <1380> (5707) he saw <991> (5721) a vision <3705>.
10 When <1161> they were past <1330> (5631) the first <4413> and <2532> the second <1208> ward <5438>, they came <2064> (5627) unto <1909> the iron <4603> gate <4439> that leadeth <5342> (5723) unto <1519> the city <4172>; which <3748> opened <455> (5681) to them <846> of his own accord <844>: and <2532> they went out <1831> (5631), and passed on through <4281> (5627) one <3391> street <4505>; and <2532> forthwith <2112> the angel <32> departed <868> (5627) from <575> him <846>.
11 And <2532> when Peter <4074> was come <1096> (5637) to <1722> himself <1438>, he said <2036> (5627), Now <3568> I know <1492> (5758) of a surety <230>, that <3754> the Lord <2962> hath sent <1821> (5656) his <846> angel <32>, and <2532> hath delivered <1807> (5639) me <3165> out of <1537> the hand <5495> of Herod <2264>, and <2532> from all <3956> the expectation <4329> of the people <2992> of the Jews <2453>.
12 And <5037> when he had considered <4894> (5631) the thing, he came <2064> (5627) to <1909> the house <3614> of Mary <3137> the mother <3384> of John <2491>, whose surname was <1941> (5746) Mark <3138>; where <3757> many <2425> were <2258> (5713) gathered together <4867> (5772) praying <2532> <4336> (5740).
13 And <1161> as Peter <4074> knocked at <2925> (5660) the door <2374> of the gate <4440>, a damsel <3814> came <4334> (5627) to hearken <5219> (5658), named <3686> Rhoda <4498>.
14 And <2532> when she knew <1921> (5631) Peter's <4074> voice <5456>, she opened <455> (5656) not <3756> the gate <4440> for <575> gladness <5479>, but <1161> ran in <1532> (5631), and told how <518> (5656) Peter <4074> stood <2476> (5760) before <4253> the gate <4440>.
15 And <1161> they said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> her <846>, Thou art mad <3105> (5736) . But <1161> she constantly affirmed <1340> (5711) that it was <2192> (5721) even so <3779>. Then <1161> said they <3004> (5707), It is <2076> (5748) his <846> angel <32>.

16 But <1161> Peter <4074> continued <1961> (5707) knocking <2925> (5723): and <1161> when they had opened <455> (5660) the door, and saw <1492> (5627) him <846>, <2532> they were astonished <1839> (5627).
17 But <1161> he, beckoning <2678> (5660) unto them <846> with the hand <5495> to hold their peace <4601> (5721), declared <1334> (5662) unto them <846> how <4459> the Lord <2962> had brought <1806> (5627) him <846> out of <1537> the prison <5438>. And <1161> he said <2036> (5627), Go shew <518> (5657) these things <5023> unto James <2385>, and <2532> to the brethren <80>. And <2532> he departed <1831> (5631), and went <4198> (5675) into <1519> another <2087> place <5117>.
18 Now <1161> as soon as it was <1096> (5637) day <2250>, there was <2258> (5713) no <3756> small <3641> stir <5017> among <1722> the soldiers <4757>, what <5101> <686> was become <1096> (5633) of Peter <4074>.
19 And <1161> when <1934> <0> Herod <2264> had sought for <1934> (5660) him <846>, and <2532> found him <2147> (5631) not <3361>, he examined <350> (5660) the keepers <5441>, and commanded <2753> (5656) that they should be put to death <520> (5683). And <2532> he went down <2718> (5631) from <575> Judaea <2449> to <1519> Caesarea <2542>, and there abode <1304> (5707).
20 # And <1161> Herod <2264> was <2258> (5713) highly displeased <2371> (5723) with them of Tyre <5183> and <2532> Sidon <4606>: but <1161> they came <3918> (5713) with one accord <3661> to <4314> him <846>, and <2532>, having made <3982> <0> Blastus <986> the king's <935> chamberlain <1909> <2846> their friend <3982> (5660), desired <154> (5710) peace <1515>; because <1223> their <846> country <5561> was nourished <5142> (5745) by <575> the king's <937> country.
21 And <1161> upon a set <5002> day <2250> Herod <2264>, arrayed <1746> (5671) in royal <937> apparel <2066>, sat <2523> (5660) upon <1909> his throne <968>, and <2532> made an oration <1215> (5707) unto <4314> them <846>.
22 And <1161> the people <1218> gave a shout <2019> (5707), saying, It is the voice <5456> of a god <2316>, and <2532> not <3756> of a man <444>.
23 And <1161> immediately <3916> the angel <32> of the Lord <2962> smote <3960> (5656) him <846> , because <473> <3739> he gave <1325> (5656) not <3756> God <2316> the glory <1391>: and <2532> he was <1096> (5637) eaten of worms <4662>, and gave up the ghost <1634> (5656).

24 But <1161> the word <3056> of God <2316> grew <837> (5707) and <2532> multiplied <4129> (5712).
25 And <1161> Barnabas <921> and <2532> Saul <4569> returned <5290> (5656) from <1537> Jerusalem <2419>, when they had fulfilled <4137> (5660) their ministry <1248>, and <2532> took with them <4838> (5631) John <2491>, whose surname was <1941> (5685) Mark <3138>.
