This was during ^(D)the days of Unleavened Bread. ⁴And 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. ⁵So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest ^(G)prayer for him was made to God by the church.
