Acts 12:1-11

12:1

Now
<1161>

about
<2596>

that
<1565>

time
<2540>

Herod
<2264>

the king
<935>

stretched forth
<1911> (5627)

[his] hands
<5495>

to vex
<2559> (5658)

certain
<5100>

of
<575>

the church
<1577>_.

{stretched...: or, began}

12:2

And
<1161>

he killed
<337> (5627)

James
<2385>

the brother
<80>

of John
<2491>

with the sword
<3162>_.

12:3

And
<2532>

because he saw
<1492> (5631)

it
<3754>

pleased
<2076> (5748) <701>

the Jews
<2453>_,

he proceeded further
<4369> (5639)

to take
<4815> (5629)

Peter
<4074>

also
<2532>_.

(Then
<1161>

were
<2258> (5713)

the days
<2250>

of unleavened bread
<106>.)

12:4

And
<3739> <2532>

when he had apprehended
<4084> (5660)

him, he put
<5087> (5639)

[him] in
<1519>

prison
<5438>_,

and delivered
<3860> (5631)

[him] to four
<5064>

quaternions
<5069>

of soldiers
<4757>

to keep
<5442> (5721)

him
<846>_;

intending
<1014> (5740)

after
<3326>

Easter
<3957>

to bring
<321> (0)

him
<846>

forth
<321> (5629)

to the people
<2992>_.

{Easter: Gr. Passover} {quaternions: a file of four soldiers}

12:5

Peter
<4074> <3303>

therefore
<3767>

was kept
<5083> (5712)

in
<1722>

prison
<5438>_:

but
<1161>

prayer
<4335>

was
<2258> (5713)

made
<1096> (5740)

without ceasing
<1618>

of
<5259>

the church
<1577>

unto
<4314>

God
<2316>

for
<5228>

him
<846>_.

{prayer...: or, instant and earnest prayer was made}

12:6

And
<1161>

when
<3753>

Herod
<2264>

would
<3195> (5707)

have brought
<4254> (0)

him
<846>

forth
<4254> (5721)_,

the same
<1565>

night
<3571>

Peter
<4074>

was
<2258> (5713)

sleeping
<2837> (5746)

between
<3342>

two
<1417>

soldiers
<4757>_,

bound
<1210> (5772)

with two
<1417>

chains
<254>_:

and
<5037>

the keepers
<5441>

before
<4253>

the door
<2374>

kept
<5083> (5707)

the prison
<5438>_.

12:7

And
<2532>_,

behold
<2400> (5628)_,

the angel
<32>

of the Lord
<2962>

came upon
<2186> (5627)

[him], and
<2532>

a light
<5457>

shined
<2989> (5656)

in
<1722>

the prison
<3612>_:

and
<1161>

he smote
<3960> (5660)

Peter
<4074>

on the side
<4125>_,

and raised
<1453> (0)

him
<846>

up
<1453> (5656)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Arise up
<450> (5628)

quickly
<1722> <5034>_.

And
<2532>

his
<846>

chains
<254>

fell off
<1601> (5627)

from
<1537>

[his] hands
<5495>_.

12:8

And
<5037>

the angel
<32>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

him
<846>_,

Gird thyself
<4024> (5669)_,

and
<2532>

bind on
<5265> (5669)

thy
<4675>

sandals
<4547>_.

And
<1161>

so
<3779>

he did
<4160> (5656)_.

And
<2532>

he saith
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

Cast
<4016> (0)

thy garment
<2440>

about
<4016> (5640)

thee
<4675>_,

and
<2532>

follow
<190> (5720)

me
<3427>_.

12:9

And
<2532>

he went out
<1831> (5631)_,

and followed
<190> (5707)

him
<846>_;

and
<2532>

wist
<1492> (5715)

not
<3756>

that
<3754>

it was
<2076> (5748)

true
<227>

which
<3588>

was done
<1096> (5740)

by
<1223>

the angel
<32>_;

but
<1161>

thought
<1380> (5707)

he saw
<991> (5721)

a vision
<3705>_.

12:10

When
<1161>

they were past
<1330> (5631)

the first
<4413>

and
<2532>

the second
<1208>

ward
<5438>_,

they came
<2064> (5627)

unto
<1909>

the iron
<4603>

gate
<4439>

that leadeth
<5342> (5723)

unto
<1519>

the city
<4172>_;

which
<3748>

opened
<455> (5681)

to them
<846>

of his own accord
<844>_:

and
<2532>

they went out
<1831> (5631)_,

and passed on through
<4281> (5627)

one
<3391>

street
<4505>_;

and
<2532>

forthwith
<2112>

the angel
<32>

departed
<868> (5627)

from
<575>

him
<846>_.

12:11

And
<2532>

when Peter
<4074>

was come
<1096> (5637)

to
<1722>

himself
<1438>_,

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

Now
<3568>

I know
<1492> (5758)

of a surety
<230>_,

that
<3754>

the Lord
<2962>

hath sent
<1821> (5656)

his
<846>

angel
<32>_,

and
<2532>

hath delivered
<1807> (5639)

me
<3165>

out of
<1537>

the hand
<5495>

of Herod
<2264>_,

and
<2532>

[from] all
<3956>

the expectation
<4329>

of the people
<2992>

of the Jews
<2453>_.
