إنقاذ بطرس بمعجزة من السجن
12 فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ بَدَأَ الْمَلِكُ هِيرُودُسُ يَضْطَهِدُ بَعْضَ أَفْرَادِ الْكَنِيسَةِ، 2 فَقَتَلَ يَعْقُوبَ شَقِيقَ يُوحَنَّا بِالسَّيْفِ. 3 وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّ هَذَا يُرْضِي الْيَهُودَ، قَرَّرَ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ عَلَى بُطْرُسَ أَيْضاً، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَيَّامِ عِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ. 4 فَلَمَّا قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ، أَوْدَعَهُ السِّجْنَ تَحْتَ حِرَاسَةِ أَرْبَعِ مَجْمُوعَاتٍ مِنَ الْحُرَّاسِ، تَتَكَوَّنُ كُلُّ مَجْمُوعَةٍ مِنْهَا مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ جُنُودٍ. وَكَانَ يَنْوِي أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُ إِلَى الْيَهُودِ بَعْدَ عِيدِ الْفِصْحِ، 5 فَأَبْقَاهُ فِي السِّجْنِ. أَمَّا الْكَنِيسَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَرْفَعُ الصَّلاةَ الْحَارَّةَ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ.
6 وَفِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ هِيرُودُسُ قَدْ نَوَى أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ بُطْرُسَ بَعْدَهَا، كَانَ بُطْرُسُ نَائِماً بَيْنَ جُنْدِيَّيْنِ، مُقَيَّداً بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ، وَأَمَامَ الْبَابِ جُنُودٌ يَحْرُسُونَ السِّجْنَ. 7 وَفَجْأَةً حَضَرَ مَلاكٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، فَامْتَلأَتْ غُرْفَةُ السِّجْنِ نُوراً. وَضَرَبَ الْمَلاكُ بُطْرُسَ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ وَأَيْقَظَهُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ سَرِيعاً!» فَسَقَطَتِ السِّلْسِلَتَانِ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ. 8 فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلاكُ: «شُدَّ حِزَامَكَ، وَالْبَسْ حِذَاءَكَ!» فَفَعَلَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «الْبَسْ رِدَاءَكَ وَاتْبَعْنِي!» 9 فَخَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ يَتْبَعُ الْمَلاكَ وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ يَرَى رُؤْيَا، وَلا يَدْرِي أَنَّ مَا يَجْرِي عَلَى يَدِ الْمَلاكِ أَمْرٌ حَقِيقِيٌّ. 10 وَاجْتَازَا نُقْطَةَ الْحِرَاسَةِ الأُولَى ثُمَّ الثَّانِيَةَ. وَلَمَّا وَصَلا إِلَى بَابِ السِّجْنِ الْحَدِيدِيِّ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ انْفَتَحَ لَهُمَا مِنْ ذَاتِهِ، فَخَرَجَا. وَبَعْدَمَا عَبَرَا شَارِعاً وَاحِداً، فَارَقَهُ الْمَلاكُ حَالاً.
11 عِنْدَئِذٍ اسْتَعَادَ بُطْرُسُ وَعْيَهُ، فَهَتَفَ: «الآنَ أَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَرْسَلَ مَلاكَهُ فَأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ قَبْضَةِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَمِنْ تَوَقُّعَاتِ شَعْبِ الْيَهُودِ!» 12 وَإِذْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ، اتَّجَهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ مَرْيَمَ أُمِّ يُوحَنَّا الْمُلَقَّبِ مَرْقُسَ، حَيْثُ كَانَ عَدَدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ يُصَلُّونَ. 13 وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ قَرَعَ الْبَابَ الْخَارِجِيَّ، فَجَاءَتْ خَادِمَةٌ اسْمُهَا رَوْدَا لِتَتَسَمَّعَ. 14 فَلَمَّا عَرَفَتْ صَوْتَ بُطْرُسَ لَمْ تَفْتَحْ لِشِدَّةِ الْفَرَحِ، بَلْ أَسْرَعَتْ إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْبَيْتِ تُبَشِّرُ الْحَاضِرِينَ بِأَنَّ بُطْرُسَ بِالْبَابِ. 15 فَقَالُوا لَهَا: «أَنْتِ تَهْذِينَ!» وَلَكِنَّهَا أَكَّدَتْ لَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالُوا: «لَعَلَّهُ مَلاكُ بُطْرُسَ!» 16 أَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَوَاصَلَ قَرْعَ الْبَابِ حَتَّى فَتَحُوا لَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ اسْتَوْلَتْ عَلَيْهِمِ الدَّهْشَةُ! 17 فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ يَسْكُتُوا، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ أَخْرَجَهُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السِّجْنِ، وَقَالَ: «أَخْبِرُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَالإِخْوَةَ بِهَذَا». ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ.
18 وَلَمَّا طَلَعَ الصَّبَاحُ حَدَثَتْ بَلْبَلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ بَيْنَ الْجُنُودِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ: «مَا الَّذِي جَرَى لِبُطْرُسَ؟» 19 وَلَمَّا أَمَرَ هِيرُودُسُ بِاسْتِدْعَائِهِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، أَجْرَى تَحْقِيقاً مَعَ الْحُرَّاسِ، وَأَمَرَ بِإِعْدَامِهِمْ.
موت هيرودس
ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ هِيرُودُسُ مِنْ مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ، وَأَقَامَ فِيهَا.
20 وَكَانَ نَاقِماً عَلَى أَهْلِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَا. فَاتَّفَقُوا وَأَرْسَلُوا وَفْداً مِنْهُمْ يَسْتَعْطِفُونَ بَلاسْتُسَ حَاجِبَ الْمَلِكِ طَالِبِينَ الأَمَانَ، لأَنَّ مِنْطَقَتَهُمْ كَانَتْ تَكْسَبُ رِزْقَهَا مِنْ مَمْلَكَةِ هِيرُودُسَ. 21 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْمُعَيَّنِ لِمُقَابَلَةِ الْوَفْدِ، ارْتَدَى هِيرُودُسُ ثَوْبَهُ الْمُلُوكِيَّ، وَجَلَسَ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ يُخَاطِبُهُمْ. 22 فَهَتَفَ الشَّعْبُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا صَوْتُ إِلَهٍ لَا صَوْتُ إِنْسَانٍ!» 23 فَضَرَبَهُ مَلاكٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ فِي الْحَالِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِ الْمَجْدَ لِلهِ، فَأَكَلَهُ الدُّودُ وَمَاتَ! 24 أَمَّا كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ فَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وَتَزْدَادُ انْتِشَاراً.
25 وَكَانَ بَرْنَابَا وَشَاوُلُ قَدْ أَنْجَزَا الْمُهِمَّةَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَرَجَعَا إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَمَعَهُمَا يُوحَنَّا الْمُلَقَّبُ مَرْقُسَ.

Arresto di Pietro
12 In quel periodo, il re Erode si mise a perseguitare alcuni credenti, 2 fece uccidere lʼapostolo Giacomo, fratello di Giovanni. 3 Quando Erode si accorse che i capi giudei ne erano contenti, fece arrestare anche Pietro. Era il periodo della Pasqua. 4-5 Dopo averlo arrestato, Erode lo gettò in prigione e ordinò che fosse guardato a vista da sedici soldati. Lʼintenzione di Erode era di processare Pietro, davanti al popolo, dopo la Pasqua. Ma la Chiesa pregava con fervore per lui.
6 La notte prima del processo, Pietro dormiva, legato con doppia catena fra due soldati, mentre gli altri erano di guardia davanti alla porta della prigione. 7 Ed ecco che, improvvisamente, una luce illuminò la cella e un angelo del Signore apparve accanto a Pietro. Lʼangelo lo toccò sul fianco, per svegliarlo, e gli disse: «Svelto, àlzati!» E subito le catene caddero dai polsi di Pietro. 8 «Vestiti e mettiti i sandali», ordinò lʼangelo e Pietro ubbidì. «Ora prendi il mantello e seguimi!»
9 Così Pietro uscì dalla cella e lo seguì. Ma per tutto quel tempo pensò che si trattasse di un sogno o di una visione; non poteva credere alla realtà di ciò che stava accadendo. 10 Quando ebbero superato la prima e la seconda sentinella, giunsero al portone di ferro che dava sulla strada. Il portone si aprì da solo davanti a loro ed essi uscirono. Una volta fuori, proseguirono ancora per un tratto, poi lʼangelo lo lasciò.
11 Finalmente Pietro si rese conto di ciò che era accaduto. «Ma è proprio vero!» disse fra sé, «Il Signore ha mandato il suo angelo per salvarmi da Erode e da tutto il male che i Giudei volevano farmi!» 12 Dopo aver riflettuto sulla cosa, Pietro si diresse verso la casa di Maria, madre di Giovanni, soprannominato Marco. Là si erano riuniti molti fratelli per pregare insieme. 13 Pietro bussò alla porta e una ragazza di nome Rode, venne a sentire chi cʼera. 14 Quando riconobbe la voce di Pietro, ne fu talmente contenta che non aprì, ma, di corsa, tornò indietro ad annunciare a tutti che Pietro era lì, alla porta. 15 Nessuno le credette. «Sei matta da legare!» le dissero. Ma, siccome insisteva, azzardarono: «Sarà il suo angelo! (Devono averlo ucciso)».
16 Intanto Pietro continuava a bussare. Quando finalmente gli aprirono, immaginate la loro sorpresa! 17 Pietro fece loro cenno di calmarsi, poi raccontò lʼaccaduto e come il Signore lʼaveva fatto uscire dalla prigione. Infine disse: «Fate sapere a Giacomo e agli altri fratelli quello che è successo». Poi se ne andò in un posto più sicuro.
18 Allʼalba, la prigione era sottosopra. Dove era finito Pietro? 19 Quando Erode mandò a prenderlo e non lo trovarono, fece arrestare le sedici guardie che, dopo essere state processate, furono condannate a morte. Poi Erode partì dalla Giudea e si stabilì a Cesarèa.
20 Mentre era a Cesarèa, una delegazione di Tiro e Sidone gli chiese udienza. Erode era molto irritato contro queste due città, ma i loro ambasciatori ottennero lʼappoggio di Blasto, segretario del re, e chiesero di accordarsi, perché il benessere del loro popolo dipendeva dal commercio con il paese di Erode.
21 Nel giorno fissato, Erode, dopo aver indossato il suo mantello regale, si sedette sul trono e cominciò a parlare. 22 Quando ebbe finito, il popolo lʼapplaudì, gridando: «È un dio che parla, non un uomo!»
23 In quel momento un angelo del Signore colpì con una terribile malattia Erode, che morì roso dai vermi, perché aveva preso per sé lʼadorazione degli uomini, anziché rendere la gloria a Dio.
Barnaba e Paolo ad Antiochia
24 Intanto la parola di Dio si spandeva sempre più, e il numero dei credenti aumentava.
25 Barnaba e Paolo visitarono Gerusalemme, poi, terminata la loro missione, tornarono ad Antiochia, portando con sé anche Giovanni soprannominato Marco.

Peter’s Miraculous Escape From Prison
12 It was about this time that King Herod(A) arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 2 He had James, the brother of John,(B) put to death with the sword.(C) 3 When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews,(D) he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(E) 4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.(F)
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.(G)
6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains,(H) and sentries stood guard at the entrance. 7 Suddenly an angel(I) of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.(J)
8 Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.(K) 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself,(L) and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
11 Then Peter came to himself(M) and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me(N) from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”
12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark,(O) where many people had gathered and were praying.(P) 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.(Q) 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed(R) she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”
15 “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”(S)
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17 Peter motioned with his hand(T) for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James(U) and the other brothers and sisters(V) about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.
18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. 19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed.(W)
Herod’s Death
Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea(X) and stayed there. 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon;(Y) they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king’s country for their food supply.(Z)
21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel(AA) of the Lord struck him down,(AB) and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 But the word of God(AC) continued to spread and flourish.(AD)
Barnabas and Saul Sent Off
25 When Barnabas(AE) and Saul had finished their mission,(AF) they returned from[a] Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.(AG)

James Killed and Peter Imprisoned
12 About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. 2 He killed (A)James the brother of John (B)with the sword, 3 and when he saw (C)that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during (D)the days of Unleavened Bread. 4 And when he had seized him, he put him (E)in prison, delivering him over to four (F)squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest (G)prayer for him was made to God by the church.
Peter Is Rescued
6 Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, (H)bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. 7 And behold, (I)an angel of the Lord (J)stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. (K)He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And (L)the chains fell off his hands. 8 And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and (M)put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but (N)thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. (O)It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him. 11 When Peter (P)came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that (Q)the Lord has sent his angel and (R)rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”
12 When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of (S)John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and (T)were praying. 13 And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, (U)a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer. 14 Recognizing Peter's voice, (V)in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate. 15 They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is (W)his angel!” 16 But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed. 17 But (X)motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Tell these things to (Y)James and to (Z)the brothers.”[a] Then he departed and went to another place.
18 Now when day came, there was no little disturbance among the soldiers over what had become of Peter. 19 And after Herod searched for him and did not find him, he examined the sentries and (AA)ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.
The Death of Herod
20 Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and (AB)having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain,[b] they asked for peace, because (AC)their country depended on the king's country for food. 21 On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. 22 And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” 23 Immediately (AD)an angel of the Lord struck him down, because (AE)he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
24 But (AF)the word of God increased and multiplied.
25 (AG)And Barnabas and Saul returned from[c] Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them (AH)John, whose other name was Mark.
