베드로가 잡혔다가 놓임
12 그때 [a]헤롯왕이 교회의 몇 사람을 괴롭히려고 잡아
2 먼저 요한의 형제 야고보를 칼로 죽였다.
3 유대인들이 그 일을 기뻐하는 것을 보고 헤롯은 베드로도 잡으려 하였다. 마침 그 때는 [b]누룩 넣지 않은 빵을 먹는 명절 기간이었다.
4 헤롯은 베드로를 유월절이 지난 후 사람들 앞에 끌어낼 생각으로 그를 잡아 가두고는 군인 열여섯 사람을 4인조로 나눠 지키게 하였다.
5 이렇게 베드로는 감옥에 갇혔지만 교회는 그를 위해 하나님께 간절히 기도하고 있었다.
6 헤롯이 베드로를 끌어내려던 전날 밤이었다. 베드로는 두 개의 쇠사슬에 매여 두 군인 틈에서 자고 있었고 문 앞에는 경비병들이 지키고 있었다.
7 그런데 갑자기 주님의 천사가 나타나고 감방 안이 환해졌다. 천사가 베드로의 옆구리를 쳐서 깨우며 “어서 일어나거라” 하고 말하였다. 그러자 쇠사슬이 그의 손목에서 떨어져 나갔다.
8 천사가 “허리띠를 매고 신을 신어라” 하고 말하므로 베드로는 그대로 하였다. 그리고 천사는 다시 그에게 “겉옷을 입고 나를 따라오너라” 하고 말하였 다.
9 그래서 베드로는 천사를 따라 나오긴 했으나 그것이 실제로 일어나고 있는 일인 줄 모르고 환상을 보는 것으로 생각하였다.
10 그들이 첫째와 둘째 초소를 지나 시가지로 통하는 철문에 이르자 그 문이 저절로 열렸다. 그들이 그 문을 나와 한 거리를 걸어갈 때 갑자기 천사가 베드로를 떠났다.
11 그제서야 베드로는 제정신이 들어 주님께서 천사를 보내 자기를 헤롯의 손에서 구출하시고 유대인들의 모든 기대에서 벗어나게 하신 것을 깨닫게 되었다.
12 그래서 그는 마가라고도 하는 요한의 어머니 마리아의 집으로 갔는데 거기서는 많은 사람이 모여 기도하고 있었다.
13 베드로가 대문을 두드리자 로데라는 어린 여종이 나왔다.
14 그녀는 베드로의 음성을 알아듣고 너무 기뻐서 미처 문도 열지 못하고 달려들어가 베드로가 대문 밖에 와 있다고 외쳤다.
15 그러나 사람들은 로데를 보고 “네가 미쳤구나!” 하였다. 그래도 그녀가 사실이라고 우겨대자 그들은 “그의 천사겠지” 하고 [c]믿지 않았다.
16 한편 베드로는 계속 문을 두드리고 있었다. 그래서 문을 열어 보니 베드로가 아니겠는가! 그들은 베드로를 보고 깜짝 놀랐다.
17 베드로는 손짓으로 그들을 조용히 하게 하고 주님께서 어떻게 자기를 감옥에서 이끌어내셨는가를 이야기해 주었다. 그리고 야고보와 다른 형제들에게도 이 일을 알리게 하고 그는 다른 곳으로 떠났다.
18 날이 밝자 베드로가 없어진 일로 군인들 사이에 큰 소동이 벌어졌다.
19 헤롯은 베드로를 찾지 못하자 경비병들을 직접 심문하고서 그들을 처형하라고 명령하였다. 그 후 헤롯은 유대를 떠나 가이사랴에 내려가 거기서 지냈다.
20 그때 두로와 시돈 사람들은 헤롯에게 대단한 미움을 사고 있었다. 그러나 그들은 헤롯의 영토에서 나는 식량을 공급받고 있었기 때문에 떼를 지어 그를 만나러 갔다. 그들은 먼저 왕의 시종 블라스도를 찾아가 미리 사귀어 놓고 왕에게 화평을 청하였다.
21 그러자 왕은 정한 날에 왕복을 입고 왕좌에 앉아 그들에게 연설을 하였다.
22 그때 사람들은 “이건 신의 소리지 사람의 소리가 아니다!” 하고 외쳤다.
23 헤롯이 영광을 하나님께 돌리지 않으므로 즉시 주님의 천사가 그를 치자 그는 벌레에 먹혀 죽고 말았다.
24 그러나 하나님의 말씀은 점점 널리 퍼지고 새 신자도 많이 늘었다.
25 바나바와 사울은 [d]안디옥 교회가 보낸 헌금을 예루살렘 교회에 전달하고 마가라는 요한을 데리고 다시 안디옥으로 돌아왔다.
Acts 12
New King James Version
Herod’s Violence to the Church
12 Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James (A)the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during (B)the Days of Unleavened Bread. 4 So (C)when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four [a]squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.
Peter Freed from Prison
5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but [b]constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were [c]keeping the prison. 7 Now behold, (D)an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. 8 Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” 9 So he went out and followed him, and (E)did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought (F)he was seeing a vision. 10 When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, (G)which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that (H)the Lord has sent His angel, and (I)has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.”
12 So, when he had considered this, (J)he came to the house of Mary, the mother of (K)John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together (L)praying. 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer. 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate. 15 But they said to her, “You are beside yourself!” Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, (M)“It is his angel.”
16 Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17 But (N)motioning to them with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren.” And he departed and went to another place.
18 Then, as soon as it was day, there was no small [d]stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter. 19 But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death.
And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
Herod’s Violent Death
20 Now Herod had been very angry with the people of (O)Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus [e]the king’s personal aide their friend, they asked for peace, because (P)their country was [f]supplied with food by the king’s country.
21 So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. 22 And the people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23 Then immediately an angel of the Lord (Q)struck him, because (R)he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and [g]died.
24 But (S)the word of God grew and multiplied.
Barnabas and Saul Appointed
25 And (T)Barnabas and Saul returned [h]from Jerusalem when they had (U)fulfilled their ministry, and they also (V)took with them (W)John whose surname was Mark.

King James Version
12 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 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.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 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.
15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
17 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.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
