[After he] had arrested {him}, he also put [him] in prison, handing [him] over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him {out for public trial} after the Passover. Thus Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer was fervently being made to God by the church for him.
Then they put him in custody {so that} [the matter] might be made clear to them in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh.
