Acts 12:4–11

⁴And when he had apprehended him, he put him in ^hprison, and delivered him to four ⁱquaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after ^jEaster to bring him forth to the people. ⁵Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing ^kof the church unto God for him. ⁶And when ^aHerod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with ^ltwo chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. ⁷And behold, ^mthe angel of the Lord ⁿcame upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and ^ohe smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. ⁸And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and ^pbind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. ⁹And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought ^qhe saw ^ra vision. ¹⁰When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; ^swhich opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. ¹¹And when Peter was ^tcome to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent ^uhis angel, and ^whath delivered me out of the hand of ^aHerod, and from all ^xthe expectation of the people of the Jews.
