⁵Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

⁶And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

⁷And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

⁸And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

⁹And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

¹⁰When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

¹¹And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, 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.

¹²And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

¹³And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.

¹⁴And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁵And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

¹⁶But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.

¹⁷But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

¹⁸Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

¹⁹And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and there abode.

²⁰¶ And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country.

²¹And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

²²And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

²³And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

²⁴¶ But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

⁵Peter therefore was kept in prison, but prayer was made ^‖without ceasing of the Church vnto God for him.

⁶And when Herode would haue brought him foorth, the same night Peter was sleeping betweene two Souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the Keepers before the doore kept the prison.

⁷And beholde, the Angel of the Lord came vpon him, and a light shined in the prison: and hee smote Peter on the side, and raised him vp, saying, Arise vp quickely. And his chaines fell off from his hands.

⁸And the Angel said vnto him, Girde thy selfe, and binde on thy sandales: And so he did. And he sayth vnto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

⁹And hee went out, and followed him, and wist not that it was true which was done by the Angel: but thought he saw a vision.

¹⁰When they were past the first and the second ward, they came vnto the yron gate that leadeth vnto the citie, which opened to them of his owne accord: and they went out and passed on thorow one streete, and foorthwith the Angel departed from him.

¹¹And when Peter was come to himselfe, hee said, Now I know of a suretie, that the Lord hath sent his Angel, and hath deliuered mee out of the hand of Herode, and from all the expectation of the people of the Iewes.

¹²And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of Iohn whose sirname was Marke, where many were gathered together praying.

¹³And as Peter knocked at the doore of the gate, a damosell came ^‖to hearken, named Rhoda.

¹⁴And when she knew Peters voice, she opened not the gate for gladnes, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁵And they said vnto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was euen so. Then said they, It it his Angel.

¹⁶But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the doore, and saw him, they were astonished.

¹⁷But he beckening vnto them with the hand, to hold their peace, declared vnto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison: And he said, Goe shew these things vnto Iames, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

¹⁸Now assoone as it was day, there was no smal stirre among the souldiers, what was become of Peter.

¹⁹And when Herode had sought for him, and found him not, hee examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And hee went downe from Iudea to Cesarea, & there abode.

²⁰¶ And Herode ^‖was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and hauing made Blastus ^†the kings chamberlaine their friend, desired peace, because their countrey was nourished by the kings countrey.

²¹And vpon a set day Herod arayed in royall apparell, sate vpon his throne, and made an Oration vnto them.

²²And the people gaue a shout, saying, It is the voice of a God, and not of a man.

²³And immediatly the Angel of the Lord smote him, because hee gaue not God the glory, and hee was eaten of wormes, and gaue vp the ghost.

²⁴¶ But the word of God grewe, and multiplied.

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul returned from Hierusalem, when they had fulfilled their ^‖ministerie, and tooke with them Iohn, whose syrname was Marke.

²⁹Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

²⁹Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled, thou takest away their breath, they die: and returne to their dust.

⁷Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

^7‖Heare me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth, hide not thy face from mee: lest I be like vnto them that goe downe into the pit.

²Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

²Deliuer mee in thy righteousnesse, and cause me to escape: incline thine eare vnto me, and saue me.

²Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
