Acts 12:1-5
Revised Geneva Translation
12 Now about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hand to afflict some of the church,
2 And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further, to take Peter also (during the Days of Unleavened Bread.)
4 And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to be kept, intending to bring him forth to the people after the Passover.
5 So Peter was kept in prison. But earnest prayer was made to God for him by the church.
