And, when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night, was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, guards, also, before the door, were keeping the prison. And lo! a messenger of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in the cell; and, smiting the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying - Rise up quickly! And his chains fell off out of his hands. And the messenger said unto him - Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him - Throw around thee thy mantle, and be following me. And, coming out, he began following, and knew not that it was true which was coming about through means of the messenger; but supposed that, a vision, he was beholding. And, passing through the first ward and the second, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city, the which, of its own accord, opened unto them; and, coming out, they went on through one street, and, straightway, the messenger was parted from him. And, Peter, coming to himself said - Now, know I, of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his messenger, and taken me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews. And, considering the matter, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where a considerable number were gathered together and praying. And, when he had knocked at the door of the porch, there came unto it a maiden to hearken, by name Rhoda; And, recognizing the voice of Peter, by reason of her joy, she opened not the porch, - but, running in, bare tidings that Peter was standing before the porch. But, they, unto her, said - Thou art raving She, however, kept on strongly declaring that, so, it was. But, they, were saying - It is his, messenger. And, Peter, continued knocking; and, opening, they saw him, and were amazed. But, making a sign to them with his hand to hold their peace, he related to them how, the Lord, had brought, him, forth out of the prison; and he said - Carry tidings unto James and the brethren, as to these things. And, going out, he went his way unto some other place. And, when it became day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what, then, Peter had become! And, Herod, seeking after and not finding, him, having examined the guards, ordered them to be led away to death ; and, going down from Judaea unto Caesarea, stayed there.

And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken. And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, - so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were instantlyset open, and the bonds of all were unfastened. And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled. But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying - By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here. And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas, and, leading them forth outside, said - Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved? And, they, said - Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house. And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot; and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, - and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.

Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out! And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans; and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city. And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.

Persecution » Instances of » Of the apostles
I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.
And they thrust on them their hands, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was evening, already. Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand. And it came to pass, upon the morrow, that there were gathered together of them, the rulers and the elders and the scribes, in Jerusalem; read more.
Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; - And, setting them in the midst, they began to enquire - In what manner of power, or in what manner of name, did, ye, do this? Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them - Ye rulers of the people, and elders! If, we, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man, - in whom, this, man hath been made well, Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, - whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole. This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became the head of the corner; And there is in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs be saved. And, looking at Peter's boldness of speech, and John's, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus; Seeing, the man also standing, with them, even the man who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict. Howbeit, ordering them to go forth outside the high-council, they began to confer one with another, Saying - What are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, and we cannot deny it ! Nevertheless, lest it further spread abroad among the people, let us charge them with threats, to be no more speaking upon this name, to any soul of man. And, calling them, they gave them the sweeping charge, - not to be sounding aloud, nor even to be teaching, upon the name of Jesus.

And thrust their hands upon the Apostles, and put them in a public ward. But, a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison; and, leading them out, said - Be going your way, and, taking your stand, be speaking, in the temple, unto the people, all the declarations of this Life. read more.
Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought. And, the officers who came to the place, found them not in the prison; and, returning, brought tidings, Saying - The prison, found we locked with all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors; but, when we had opened the prison, inside, found we, no one. Now, when both the captain of the temple and the High-priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss concerning them - what perhaps this might come to. But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them - Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and teaching the people! Then, the captain with the officers, departing, brought them - not with violence, - for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned; But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned them, Saying - Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man. But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said - It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: - The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, - whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: - Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, - to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins. And, we, are witnesses of these things, - also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him. And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them. But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, - And said unto them - Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men. For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, - unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing. After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered. Now, therefore, I say unto you - stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, - But, if it is, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found. And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go. They, therefore, went rejoicing from the presence of the high-council; in that they had been accounted worthy, in behalf of The Name, to suffer dishonour. And, every day in the temple, and at home, they ceased not to be teaching, and telling the good news as to the Anointed Jesus.
Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought. And, the officers who came to the place, found them not in the prison; and, returning, brought tidings, Saying - The prison, found we locked with all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors; but, when we had opened the prison, inside, found we, no one. Now, when both the captain of the temple and the High-priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss concerning them - what perhaps this might come to. But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them - Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and teaching the people! Then, the captain with the officers, departing, brought them - not with violence, - for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned; But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned them, Saying - Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man. But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said - It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: - The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, - whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: - Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, - to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins. And, we, are witnesses of these things, - also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him. And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them. But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, - And said unto them - Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men.

Now, in the course of that season, Herod the king thrust forth his hands to harm some of them of the assembly, - And slew James the brother of John with a sword; And, seeing that it was acceptable unto the Jews, he went on to apprehend Peter also (now they were the days of unleavened bread), - read more.
Whom also having seized, he put into prison, delivering him up unto four quaternions of soldiers, to be guarding him, - intending, after the passover, to bring him up unto the people. Peter, therefore, was kept in the prison; but, prayer, was, earnestly, being made by the assembly, unto God, concerning him. And, when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night, was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, guards, also, before the door, were keeping the prison. And lo! a messenger of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in the cell; and, smiting the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying - Rise up quickly! And his chains fell off out of his hands. And the messenger said unto him - Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him - Throw around thee thy mantle, and be following me. And, coming out, he began following, and knew not that it was true which was coming about through means of the messenger; but supposed that, a vision, he was beholding. And, passing through the first ward and the second, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city, the which, of its own accord, opened unto them; and, coming out, they went on through one street, and, straightway, the messenger was parted from him. And, Peter, coming to himself said - Now, know I, of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his messenger, and taken me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews. And, considering the matter, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where a considerable number were gathered together and praying. And, when he had knocked at the door of the porch, there came unto it a maiden to hearken, by name Rhoda; And, recognizing the voice of Peter, by reason of her joy, she opened not the porch, - but, running in, bare tidings that Peter was standing before the porch. But, they, unto her, said - Thou art raving She, however, kept on strongly declaring that, so, it was. But, they, were saying - It is his, messenger. And, Peter, continued knocking; and, opening, they saw him, and were amazed. But, making a sign to them with his hand to hold their peace, he related to them how, the Lord, had brought, him, forth out of the prison; and he said - Carry tidings unto James and the brethren, as to these things. And, going out, he went his way unto some other place. And, when it became day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what, then, Peter had become! And, Herod, seeking after and not finding, him, having examined the guards, ordered them to be led away to death ; and, going down from Judaea unto Caesarea, stayed there.
