Acts 12:16-19

English Standard Version

¹⁶ But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed. ¹⁷ But ^(A)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 ^(B)James and to ^(C)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 ^(D)ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.
