4: whom_G3739 also_G2532 having seized,_G4084 he put_G5087 in_G1519 prison,_G5438 having delivered [him]_G3860 to four_G5064 sets of four_G5069 soldiers_G4757 to guard_G5442 him,_G0846 intending_G1014 after_G3326 the_G3588 Passover_G3957 to bring out_G0321 him_G0846 to the_G3588 people._G2992

5: -_G3588 Indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 Peter_G4074 was kept_G5083 in_G1722 the_G3588 prison;_G5438 prayer_G4335 however_G1161 was_G1510 fervent_G1619 being made_G1096 by_G5259 the_G3588 church_G1577 to_G4314 -_G3588 God_G2316 concerning_G4012 him._G0846

6: When_G3753 then_G1161 was about_G3195 to bring forth_G4254 him_G0846 -_G3588 Herod,_G2264 the_G3588 night_G3571 that,_G1565 was_G1510 -_G3588 Peter_G4074 sleeping_G2837 between_G3342 two_G1417 soldiers,_G4757 having been bound_G1210 with chains_G0254 two,_G1417 guards_G5441 also_G5037 before_G4253 the_G3588 door_G2374 were watching_G5083 the_G3588 prison._G5438

7: And_G2532 behold,_G2400 an angel_G0032 of [the] Lord_G2962 stood by,_G2186 and_G2532 a light_G5457 shone_G2989 in_G1722 the_G3588 cell._G3612 Having struck_G3960 then_G1161 the_G3588 side_G4125 -_G3588 of Peter,_G4074 he woke up_G1453 him,_G0846 saying,_G3004 Rise up_G0450 in_G1722 haste._G5034 And_G2532 fell_G1601 of him_G0846 the_G3588 chains_G0254 off_G1537 the_G3588 hands._G5495

8: Said_G2036 then_G1161 the_G3588 angel_G0032 to_G4314 him,_G0846 Gird yourself about_G2224 and_G2532 put on_G5265 the_G3588 sandals_G4547 of you._G4771 He did_G4160 and_G1161 so._G3779 And_G2532 he says_G3004 to him,_G0846 Wrap around [you]_G4016 the_G3588 cloak_G2440 of you_G4771 and_G2532 follow_G0190 me._G1473

9: And_G2532 having gone forth,_G1831 he was following_G0190 and_G2532 not_G3756 did know_G1492 that_G3754 real_G0227 is_G1510 what_G3588 is happening_G1096 by means of_G1223 the_G3588 angel;_G0032 he was thinking_G1380 however_G1161 a vision_G3705 he saw._G0991

10: Having passed through_G1330 then_G1161 a first_G4413 guard_G5438 and_G2532 a second,_G1208 they came_G2064 to_G1909 the_G3588 gate_G4439 -_G3588 iron_G4603 -_G3588 leading_G5342 into_G1519 the_G3588 city,_G4172 which_G3748 by itself_G0844 opened_G0455 to them._G0846 And_G2532 having gone out_G1831 they went on through_G4281 street_G4505 one,_G1520 and_G2532 immediately_G2112 departed_G0868 the_G3588 angel_G0032 from_G0575 him._G0846

11: And_G2532 -_G3588 Peter_G4074 to_G1722 himself_G1438 having come,_G1096 said,_G2036 Now_G3568 I know_G1492 truly_G0230 that_G3754 has sent forth_G1821 the_G3588 Lord_G2962 the_G3588 angel_G0032 of Him_G0846 and_G2532 delivered_G1807 me_G1473 out of_G1537 [the] hand_G5495 of Herod_G2264 and_G2532 all_G3956 the_G3588 expectation_G4329 of the_G3588 people_G2992 of the_G3588 Jews._G2453

12: Having considered [it]_G4894 also,_G5037 he came_G2064 to_G1909 the_G3588 house_G3614 of_G3588 Mary_G3137 the_G3588 mother_G3384 of John,_G2491 who_G3588 is called_G1941 Mark,_G3138 where_G3757 were_G1510 many_G2425 having gathered together_G4867 and_G2532 praying._G4336

13: Having knocked_G2925 then_G1161 of him_G0846 [at] the_G3588 door_G2374 of the_G3588 gate,_G4440 came_G4334 a girl_G3814 to answer,_G5219 named_G3686 Rhoda._G4498

14: And_G2532 having recognized_G1921 the_G3588 voice_G5456 -_G3588 of Peter,_G4074 from_G0575 -_G3588 joy_G5479 not_G3756 she opened_G0455 the_G3588 gate,_G4440 having run in;_G1532 but_G1161 she reported_G0518 to be standing_G2476 -_G3588 Peter_G4074 before_G4253 the_G3588 gate._G4440

15: -_G3588 And_G1161 to_G4314 her_G0846 they said,_G2036 You are out of your mind._G3105 -_G3588 But_G1161 she kept insisting_G1340 [it] so_G3779 to be._G2192 -_G3588 And_G1161 they kept saying,_G2036 The_G3588 angel_G0032 it is_G1510 of him._G0846

16: -_G3588 But_G1161 Peter_G4074 continued_G1961 knocking;_G2925 having opened [it]_G0455 then,_G1161 they saw_G3708 him_G0846 and_G2532 were amazed._G1839

17: Having made a sign_G2678 then_G1161 to them_G0846 with the_G3588 hand_G5495 to be silent,_G4601 he related_G1334 to them_G0846 how_G4459 the_G3588 Lord_G2962 him_G0846 had brought_G1806 out of_G1537 the_G3588 prison._G5438 He said_G2036 then,_G5037 Report_G0518 to James_G2385 and_G2532 to the_G3588 brothers_G0080 these things._G3778 And_G2532 having gone out,_G1831 he went_G4198 to_G1519 another_G2087 place._G5117

18: Having come_G1096 now_G1161 day,_G2250 there was_G1510 disturbance_G5017 no_G3756 small_G3641 among_G1722 the_G3588 soldiers,_G4757 what_G5101 then [of]_G0686 -_G3588 Peter_G4074 has become._G1096

19: Herod_G2264 then_G1161 having sought after_G1934 him,_G0846 and_G2532 not_G3361 having found [him],_G2147 having examined_G0350 the_G3588 guards,_G5441 he commanded [them]_G2753 to be led away [to death]._G0520 And_G2532 having gone down_G2718 from_G0575 -_G3588 Judea_G2449 to_G1519 Caesarea,_G2542 he stayed [there]._G1304

20: He had been_G1510 now_G1161 furiously angry_G2371 with [the] Tyrians_G5183 and_G2532 Sidonians;_G4606 with one accord_G3661 then_G1161 they came_G3918 to_G4314 him._G0846 And_G2532 having gained_G3982 Blastus,_G0986 who [was]_G3588 over_G1909 the_G3588 bedchamber_G2846 of the_G3588 king,_G0935 they were seeking_G0154 peace,_G1515 because of_G1223 -_G3588 being nourished_G5142 their_G0846 -_G3588 region_G5561 by_G0575 the_G3588 king’s._G0937

21: On the appointed_G5002 now_G1161 day,_G2250 -_G3588 Herod,_G2264 having put on_G1746 apparel_G2066 royal_G0937 and_G2532 having sat_G2523 on_G1909 the_G3588 throne,_G0968 was making an address_G1215 to_G4314 them._G0846

22: -_G3588 And_G1161 the people_G1218 were crying out,_G2019 Of a god_G2316 [this is the] voice,_G5456 and_G2532 not_G3756 of a man!_G0444

23: Immediately_G3916 then_G1161 struck_G3960 him_G0846 an angel_G0032 of [the] Lord,_G2962 in return_G0473 for that_G3739 not_G3756 he gave_G1325 the_G3588 glory_G1391 -_G3588 to God;_G2316 and_G2532 having been_G1096 eaten by worms,_G4662 he breathed his last._G1634

24: -_G3588 But_G1161 the word_G3056 -_G3588 of God_G2316 continued to grow_G0837 and_G2532 to multiply._G4129

25: Barnabas_G0921 then_G1161 and_G2532 Saul_G4569 returned,_G5290 to_G1519 Jerusalem_G2419 having fulfilled_G4137 the_G3588 mission,_G1248 having taken with [them]_G4838 John,_G2491 the [one]_G3588 having been called_G1941 Mark._G3138
