1. About that time King Herod cruelly attacked some who belonged to the church,
2. and he killed James, John’s brother, with the sword.
3. When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter too, during the days of Unleavened Bread.
4. After the arrest, he put him in prison and assigned four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5. So Peter was kept in prison, but prayer was being made earnestly to God for him by the church.
