Acts 12:4-7

New American Standard Bible

⁴ When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, turning him over to four ^[a](A)squads of soldiers to guard him, intending only after ^(B)the Passover to bring him before the people. ⁵ So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made to God ^[b]intensely by the church.

⁶ On ^[c]the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, ^(C)bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison. ⁷ And behold, ^(D)an angel of the Lord suddenly ^(E)stood near Peter, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And ^(F)his chains fell off his hands.
