\subsection{Acts 12}
\VS{1} Now in that opportune-time\fnKairos{} Herod the king put his hands on some from the 
assembly\fnEkklhsia{} to do evil. 
\VS{2} Now James the brother of John took [a] sword. 
\VS{3} So seeing that it is pleasing to the Jews, he granted [that] Peter also be 
arrested --- now they were [the] days [of the feast] of the unleavened [bread]  --- 
\VS{4} whom also having arrested he placed in prison, having delivered up four 
detachments of soldiers to guard him, planning after the passover to bring 
him up to the people. 
\VS{5} Peter on the one hand therefore was kept in the 
prison, but on the other hand earnest prayer was coming to pass by the 
assembly\fnEkklhsia{} to God concerning him. 
\VS{6} Now when Herod was [about] to bring him out, 
in that night Peter was falling asleep, bound with two chains between two 
soldiers, and guards before the door were keeping the prison. 
\VS{7} And 
behold [an] angel of [the] Lord stood by, and light shone in the cell, and having 
struck Peter's side he roused him saying: Arise in haste. And his chains 
fell from his hands. 
\VS{8} And the angel said to him: Gird [yourself] and tie on your 
sandals. So he did thusly. And he says to him: Put on your garment and be 
following me. 
\VS{9} And having gone out he followed, and he did not know 
that the [thing] coming to pass through the angel was true, but was supposing [he] was 
seeing [a] vision. 
\VS{10} So having gone through the first guard and the 
second he came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened by 
itself to them, and having gone out he came before one alley, and 
straightway the angel left him. 
\VS{11} And Peter having come to himself 
said: Now I truly know that the Lord sent out his angel and took me out of 
[the] hand of Herod and of all the expectations of the people of the Jews. 
\VS{12} And having realized [this] he came upon the house of Maria the mother of 
John who was called Mark, where there were many brought together and 
praying. 
\VS{13} Now when he knocked on the door of the gateway [a] 
maid-servant, Rhoda by name, came to answer, 
\VS{14} and having recognized 
Peter's voice, from joy she did not open the door, but having run in 
reported [that] Peter stood before the door. 
\VS{15} Now they said to her: You are 
crazy. But she was insisting to be having [it] thusly. But they were saying: It 
is his angel. 
\VS{16} Now Peter was waiting knocking, so having opened, they 
saw him and were astonished. 
\VS{17} So having motioned to them with his 
hand to be being silent, he related to them how the Lord brought him out of 
the prison, and he said: Tell James and these brothers. And having gone out, 
he went to another place. 
\VS{18} Now when day came to pass there was not 
little consternation among the soldiers, what then came of 
Peter.\footnote{Roman guards on duty when a prisoner escaped were put to 
death.} 
\VS{19} Now Herod having sought after him and not having found [him], 
having questioned the guards, he commanded [them] to be led away [to execution], and having come down from Judea to Capernaum, he was remaining. 
\VS{20} Now he was very angry with Tyre and Sidon; so with one purpose they came to him, 
and having persuaded Blastus the chamberlain of the king, they asked\fnAiteo{} for peace, because 
their region was fed from that belonging to the king. 
\VS{21} Now on the appointed day, Herod, having been clothed in the royal apparel, 
having sat upon the speaker's platform, he was addressing them. 
\VS{22} But the populace cried out: [the] voice of [a] god and not of man. 
\VS{23} But immediately [an] angel of [the] Lord struck him because he did not 
give the glory to God, and having become eaten by worms he breathed out his last. 
\VS{24} Now the word of the Lord increased and multiplied. 
\VS{25} So Barnabbas and Saul returned 
from Jerusalem, having fulfilled the service, having taken along John the 
[one] having been called Mark.
