Acts 12:1-5 - Herod Kills James And Imprisons Peter
1 It was about that time that king Herod laid hands of violence on some members of the church. 2 James the brother of John he slew with the sword, 3 and when he saw this pleased the Jews, he went on to seize Peter. (This was during the days of unleavened bread.) 4 After arresting him he put him in prison, handing him over to a guard of sixteen soldiers, with the intention of producing him to the People after the passover. 5 So Peter was closely guarded in prison, while earnest prayer for him was offered to God by the church.
