\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.
