17 But (A)motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to [a](B)James and (C)the brethren.” Then he left and went to another place.
18 Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to [b]what could have become of Peter. 19 When Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they (D)be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to (E)Caesarea and was spending time there.
