Acts 12:5-17

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>_.

12:12

And
<5037>

when he had considered
<4894> (5631)

[the thing], he came
<2064> (5627)

to
<1909>

the house
<3614>

of Mary
<3137>

the mother
<3384>

of John
<2491>_,

whose surname was
<1941> (5746)

Mark
<3138>_;

where
<3757>

many
<2425>

were
<2258> (5713)

gathered together
<4867> (5772)

praying
<2532> <4336> (5740)_.

12:13

And
<1161>

as Peter
<4074>

knocked at
<2925> (5660)

the door
<2374>

of the gate
<4440>_,

a damsel
<3814>

came
<4334> (5627)

to hearken
<5219> (5658)_,

named
<3686>

Rhoda
<4498>_.

{to hearken: or, to ask who was there}

12:14

And
<2532>

when she knew
<1921> (5631)

Peter's
<4074>

voice
<5456>_,

she opened
<455> (5656)

not
<3756>

the gate
<4440>

for
<575>

gladness
<5479>_,

but
<1161>

ran in
<1532> (5631)_,

and told how
<518> (5656)

Peter
<4074>

stood
<2476> (5760)

before
<4253>

the gate
<4440>_.

12:15

And
<1161>

they said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

her
<846>_,

Thou art mad
<3105> (5736)_.

But
<1161>

she constantly affirmed
<1340> (5711)

that it was
<2192> (5721)

even so
<3779>_.

Then
<1161>

said they
<3004> (5707)_,

It is
<2076> (5748)

his
<846>

angel
<32>_.

12:16

But
<1161>

Peter
<4074>

continued
<1961> (5707)

knocking
<2925> (5723)_:

and
<1161>

when they had opened
<455> (5660)

[the door], and saw
<1492> (5627)

him
<846>_,

<2532>

they were astonished
<1839> (5627)_.

12:17

But
<1161>

he, beckoning
<2678> (5660)

unto them
<846>

with the hand
<5495>

to hold their peace
<4601> (5721)_,

declared
<1334> (5662)

unto them
<846>

how
<4459>

the Lord
<2962>

had brought
<1806> (5627)

him
<846>

out of
<1537>

the prison
<5438>_.

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

Go shew
<518> (5657)

these things
<5023>

unto James
<2385>_,

and
<2532>

to the brethren
<80>_.

And
<2532>

he departed
<1831> (5631)_,

and went
<4198> (5675)

into
<1519>

another
<2087>

place
<5117>_.
