Herod's persecution. Peter's deliverance by an angel. Herod's
punishment.
12:1. And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to
afflict some of the church.
12:2. And he killed James, the brother of John, With the sword.
12:3. And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter
also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
Azymes... The festival of the unleavened bread, or the pasch, which

delivering him to four files of soldiers, to be kept, intending, after
the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
12:5. Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without
ceasing by the church unto God for him.

was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the
keepers before the door kept the prison.
12:7. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shined in
the room. And he, striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying:
Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
12:8. And the angel said to him: Gird thyself and put on thy sandals.
And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee and
follow me,
12:9. And going out, he followed him. And he knew not that it was true
which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
12:10. And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to
the iron gate that leadeth to the city which of itself opened to them.
And going out, they passed on through one street. And immediately the
angel departed from him.
12:11. And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed that
the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of
Herod and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12:12. And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John,
who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
12:13. And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to
hearken whose name was Rhode.
12:14. And as soon as she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate
for joy: but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.
12:15. But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was
so. Then said they: It is his angel.
12:16. But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw
him and were astonished.
12:17. But he, beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told
how the Lord had brought him out of prison. And he said: Tell these
things to James and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another
place.
