Peter Is Rescued

⁶ Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, ^(A)bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison.

³³ Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him ^(A)to be bound ^(B)with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

⁶ So we can confidently say,

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to ^(A)the household of Onesiphorus, for he often ^(B)refreshed me and was not ashamed of ^(C)my chains,

^6 (A)do not be anxious about anything, ^(B)but in everything by prayer and supplication ^(C)with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷ And ^(D)the peace of God, ^(E)which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ for which I ^(A)am an ambassador ^(B)in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁶ Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. And David was hurrying to get away from Saul. As Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them, ²⁷ a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid against the land.”

²⁰ For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is ^(A)because of ^(B)the hope of Israel that I am wearing ^(C)this ^(D)chain.”

²³ “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them we found no one inside.”

⁴ And for fear of him the guards trembled and ^(A)became like dead men.
