Acts 12:1-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
During This Time, King Herod Kills The Apostle James And Imprisons Peter
12 And about that time, Herod[a] the king put hands on some of the ones from the church to mistreat them. 2 And he killed James[b], the brother of John, with a sword. 3 And having seen that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also (now the days of the Feast of Unleavened-Bread were taking place)— 4 whom indeed having seized, he put into prison, having handed him over to four squads[c] of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him up to the people after the Passover [Feast]. 5 So indeed Peter was being kept in the prison. And prayer was fervently being made by the church to God for him.
