Chapter 12 Now about that time Herod the
king stretched forth his hands to vex

00:07.020 --> 00:11.800
certain of the church, and he killed James
the brother of John with the sword.

00:12.580 --> 00:16.900
And because he saw it pleased the Jews,
he proceeded further to take Peter also.

00:17.720 --> 00:19.260
Then were the days of unleavened bread.

00:20.020 --> 00:24.220
And when he had apprehended him,
he put him in prison, and delivered him to

00:24.220 --> 00:28.620
four quaternions of soldiers to keep him,
intending after Easter to bring him forth

00:28.620 --> 00:29.200
to the people.

00:30.180 --> 00:34.980
Peter therefore was kept in prison,
but prayer was made without ceasing of the

00:34.980 --> 00:36.300
church unto God for him.

00:37.100 --> 00:40.660
And when Herod would have brought him
forth, the same night Peter was sleeping

00:40.660 --> 00:45.480
between two soldiers, bound with two
chains, and the keepers before the door

00:45.480 --> 00:46.300
kept the prison.

00:47.220 --> 00:52.680
And behold, the angel of the Lord came
upon him, and a light shined in the

00:52.680 --> 00:57.380
prison, and he smote Peter on the side,
and raised him up, saying, Arise up

00:57.380 --> 00:57.720
quickly.

00:58.060 --> 01:00.160
And his chains fell off from his hands.

01:00.400 --> 01:04.440
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself,
and bind on thy sandals.

01:04.700 --> 01:05.400
And so he did.

01:05.940 --> 01:09.840
And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment
about thee, and follow me.

01:10.180 --> 01:11.720
And he went out, and followed him.

01:12.120 --> 01:16.120
And wist not that it was true which was
done by the angel, but thought he saw a

01:16.120 --> 01:16.380
vision.

01:17.240 --> 01:21.500
When they were past the first and the
second ward, they came unto the iron gate

01:21.500 --> 01:25.160
that leadeth unto the city, which opened
them of his own accord.

01:25.820 --> 01:30.400
And they went out, and passed on through
one street, and forthwith the angel

01:30.400 --> 01:31.180
departed from him.

01:31.700 --> 01:36.080
And when Peter was come to himself,
he said, Now I know of a surety that the

01:36.080 --> 01:40.540
Lord hath sent his angel, and hath
delivered me out of the hand of Herod,

01:41.180 --> 01:43.960
and from all the expectation of the people
of the Jews.

01:44.240 --> 01:47.980
And when he had considered the thing,
he came to the house of Mary, the mother

01:47.980 --> 01:52.220
of John, whose surname was Mark,
where many were gathered together praying.

01:53.140 --> 01:56.640
And as Peter knocked at the door of the
gate, a damsel came to hearken,

01:57.040 --> 01:57.660
named Rhoda.

01:58.800 --> 02:02.340
And when she knew Peter's voice,
she opened not the gate for gladness,

02:02.600 --> 02:05.380
but ran in, and told how Peter stood
before the gate.

02:05.980 --> 02:08.020
And they said unto her, Thou art mad.

02:08.320 --> 02:11.100
But she constantly affirmed that it was
even so.

02:11.880 --> 02:13.980
Then said they, It is his angel.

02:14.580 --> 02:18.660
But Peter continued knocking, and when
they had opened the door and saw him,

02:19.060 --> 02:20.120
they were astonished.

02:20.900 --> 02:25.640
But he, beckoning unto them with a hand to
hold their peace, declared unto them how

02:25.640 --> 02:27.260
the Lord had brought him out of the
prison.

02:27.780 --> 02:31.500
And he said, Go, show these things unto
James, and to the brethren.

02:31.840 --> 02:33.940
And he departed, and went into another
place.

02:34.860 --> 02:39.020
Now as soon as it was day, there was no
small stir among the soldiers what was

02:39.020 --> 02:39.680
become of Peter.

02:40.320 --> 02:44.580
And when Herod had sought for him,
and found him not, he examined the

02:44.580 --> 02:47.300
keepers, and commanded that they should be
put to death.

02:48.060 --> 02:51.220
And he went down from Judea to Caesarea,
and their abode.

02:52.380 --> 02:55.500
And Herod was highly displeased with them
of Tyre and Sidon.

02:56.020 --> 03:00.040
But they came with one accord to him,
and having made Blastus the king's

03:00.040 --> 03:04.680
chamberlain their friend, desired peace,
because their country was nourished by the

03:04.680 --> 03:05.260
king's country.

03:06.020 --> 03:11.300
And upon a set day, Herod, arrayed in
royal apparel, sat upon his throne,

03:11.660 --> 03:13.140
and made an oration unto them.

03:13.600 --> 03:17.920
And the people gave a shout, saying,
It is the voice of a God, and not of a

03:17.920 --> 03:18.380
man.

03:18.500 --> 03:24.060
And immediately the angel of the Lord
smote him, because he gave not God the

03:24.060 --> 03:24.420
glory.

03:25.160 --> 03:28.120
And he was eaten of worms, and gave up the
ghost.

03:29.000 --> 03:31.340
But the word of God grew and multiplied.

03:32.000 --> 03:35.920
And Barnabas and Saul returned from
Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their

03:35.920 --> 03:39.320
ministry, and took with them John,
whose surname was Mark.

03:39.320 --> 03:39.600
The End
