44:012:002 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

44:012:003 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further
           to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

44:012:004 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and
           delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;
           intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

44:012:005 Peter therefore was kept in prison:  but prayer was made
           without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

44:012:006 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night
           Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two
           chains:  and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

44:012:007 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light
           shined in the prison:  and he smote Peter on the side, and
           raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly.  And his chains fell
           off from his hands.

44:012:008 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy
           sandals.  And so he did.  And he saith unto him, Cast thy
           garment about thee, and follow me.

44:012:009 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was
           true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

44:012:010 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came
           unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to
           them of his own accord:  and they went out, and passed on
           through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

44:012:011 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a
           surety, that the lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered
           me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of
           the people of the Jews.

44:012:012 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of
           Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many
           were gathered together praying.

44:012:013 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to
           hearken, named Rhoda.

44:012:014 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for
           gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the
           gate.

44:012:015 And they said unto her, Thou art mad.  But she constantly
           affirmed that it was even so.  Then said they, It is his angel.

44:012:016 But Peter continued knocking:  and when they had opened the
           door, and saw him, they were astonished.

44:012:017 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace,
           declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the
           prison.  And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to
           the brethren.  And he departed, and went into another place.
