Then says Jesus to him, Turn back thy sword to its place: for all they having taken the sword, shall perish by the sword. Thinkest thou that I am not able to call to my Father for aid, and he will set before me more than twelve legions of messengers? How then would the writings be filled up, that so it must be? In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, As against a robber came ye out, with swords and sticks, to take me? In the day I sat down with you, teaching, and ye took not hold of me. But this has been wholly that the writings of the prophets might be filled up. Then all the disciples, having left him, fled. And they having held Jesus, brought to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were gathered together. And Peter followed him from far, even to the court-yard of the chief priest, and having entered within, he sat with the attendants, to see the end. And the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death; And they found not: and many false witnesses having come near, they found not. And afterwards two false witnesses, having come near, said, This said, I can loosen the temple of God, and after three days build it. And the chief priest, having risen, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these witness against thee? But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest having answered, said to him, I cause thee to swear by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God. And Jesus says to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, from henceforth ye shall see the Son of man, sitting from the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the chief priest tore his garments, saying, That he blasphemed: what further need have we of witnesses? see, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What seems to you? And they having answered, said, He is liable to the penalty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and cuffed him, and struck him with a rod: Saying, Prophesy to us, O Christ, Who is he having struck thee And Peter sat without in the court-yard, and one young girl came to him saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. And he denied before all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. And he having gone out into the gate, another saw him, and she says to them there, This also was with Jesus the Nazarite. And again he denied with an oath, That I know not the man. And a little after, those standing, having come near, said to Peter, Truly thou also art of them; for also thy speech makes thee manifest. Then began he to anathematize, and to swear, That I know not the man: and quickly the cock uttered a sound.

And having left him, they all fled. And one certain young man followed him, having cast a garment of fine linen over his nakedness; and the young men seized him: And having left the fine linen garment, he fled from them naked. And they led Jesus away to the pontificate: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came with him. And Peter followed him from far, even to within the court-yard of the chief priest: and he was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself near the light. And the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus, to put him to death; and found not: For many testified falsely against him, and the testimonies were not alike. And certain having risen up testified falsely against him, saying, That we heard him saying, That I will abolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will I build another, made without hands. And neither so was their testimony alike. And the chief priest having risen up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what these testify against thee And he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asks him, and says to him, Art thou Christ, Son of the Praised And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the chief priest, having rent his tunic, says, What further need have we of witnesses Ye have heard the blasphemy; How does it appear to you? And they all condemned him to be liable to the penalty of death. And certain began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to cuff him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the attendants struck him blows with rods. And Peter being in the hall how, one of the chief priest's young girls comes: And seeing Peter warming himself, having looked upon him, she says, And thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene. And he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand what thou sayest. And he went forth without into the vestibule; and the cock uttered a sound. And the young girl seeing him again, began to say to, them standing by, That this is of them: and again he denied. And after a little, again they standing by said to Peter, Truly thou art of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like. And he began to anathematize and swear, That I know not this man of whom ye speak. And of the second time the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake to him, That before the cock utter a sound twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And throwing blame, he wept.

And he yet speaking, Behold a crowd, and he called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

And a certain one of them struck a servant of the chief priest, and took away his right ear. And Jesus having answered said, Allow ye even to this. And having touched his ear, he healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests, and generals of the temple, and the elders, having come to him, Have ye come out, as upon a robber, with sword and sticks? I being with you daily in the temple, ye stretched not forth the hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. And having taken, they brought him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed him far off. And having kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and they having sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain young girl having seen him sitting by the light, and looked intently upon him, said, And this was with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little another having seen him, said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour a certain other assured himself, saying, Of a truth this also was with him: for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock uttered a sound. And the Lord having turned, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, That before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter having come forth without wept bitterly. And the men holding Jesus mocked him, stripping. And having covered him, they struck his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy who it is having struck thee. And many other things, blaspheming, they spake against him. And when it was day, the council of elders of the people was gathered together, and the chief priests and scribes, and they brought him to their council, Saying, Art thou Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye would not believe: And if I ask you, ye would not answer me, or loose me. From now shall the Son of man be sitting from the right hand of the power of God. And they all said, Art thou therefore the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his month.

And Judas also, he delivering up, was standing with them. read more.
Then, when he said to them, That I am, they went away backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus answered, I said to you, that I am: if then ye seek me, leave these to retire: That the word might be completed which he spake, That whom thou hast given me, I lost none of them. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. And the name to the servant was Malchus. Then said Jesus to Peter, Put thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it Then the band and captain of a thousand and attendants of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, And led him away to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the chief priest that year. And Caiaphas was he having connselled the Jews, that it is profitable for one man to be destroyed for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest. And Peter stood before the door without. Then went out the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and spake to her guarding the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the young girl guarding the door to Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He says, I am not. And the servants and attendants stood, having made a heap of burning coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret. Why askest thou me? ask those having heard, what I said to them: see, they know what I said. And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so? Jesus answered him, If I spake badly, testify of evil: and if well, why strikest thou me? (Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.) And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art thou not also of his disciples he denied, and said, I am not. Says one of the chief priest's servants, being of his family whose ear Peter cut off, Saw I not thee in the garden with him? Then Peter again denied: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha. Then went Pilate out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man They answered and said to him, If he were not injurious, we had not delivered him to thee. Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one: That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die. Then came Pilate again into the pretorium, and asked Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee of me? Pilate answered, Much less am I a Jew; thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: What didst thou? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had contended, that I be not delivered to the Jews; and now my kingdom is not hence. Then said Pilate to him, Art thou not then king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I testify to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, again went he out to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault in him. But a custom is to you, that I loose one to you in the pascha: will ye therefore I should loose to you the King of the Jews Then cried they all again, saying, Not this, but Barabbas: and Barabbas was a robber.

In blows, in imprisonments, in disorders, in fatigues, in watchings, in fastings;

And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely:

And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed out the blows; and was immersed, he and all his, immediately.

And Pilate, willing to satisfy the crowd, loosed to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, having scourged, that he might be crucified.

Then he loosed to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up, that, he might be crucified.

And her lords having seen that the hope of their gain went out, taking Paul and Silas, they drew to the assembly to the rulers, And having brought them to the generals, they said, These the men who cause disturbance to our city, being Jews, And they announce customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor do, being Romans. read more.
And the crowd set together against them: and the generals having rent their garments, commanded to scourge with rods. And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such an order, cast them into the inner prison, and placed their feet firmly in wood. And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, praised God: and the imprisoned heard them. And suddenly was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were let loose. And the jailor being awakened, and having seen the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the imprisoned to have fled. And Paul called with a great voice, saying, Thou shouldest do no injury to thyself; for we are all here. And having asked for a light, he rushed in, and being trembling, fell before Paul and Silas, And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all in his house. And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed out the blows; and was immersed, he and all his, immediately. And having brought them up to his house, he set a table before, and rejoiced with the entire household, having believed God. And it being day, the generals sent the bearers of the rod, saying, Loose these men. And the jailor announced these words to Paul, That the generals have sent that ye be loosed: now therefore having come out, go in peace. But Paul said to them, Having stripped us publicly not condemned, being Roman men, they cast into prison and now do they cast us out secretly? not so; but having come themselves, let them bring us out. :And the bearer of the rod announced these words to the generals: and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans. And having come they besought them, and having brought out, they entreated to come out of the city. And having come out of prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they encouraged them, and they came forth.

And when the seven days were about completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, embroiled all the crowd, and put hands upon them, Crying out, Men, Israelites, help: This is the man, teaching all, everywhere, against the people, and the law, and this place: and yet also brought the Greeks into the temple, and has polluted this holy place. (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian' whom they thought that Paul had brought into the temple.) read more.
And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people: and having taken up Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and quickly the doors were shut. And seeking to kill him, a rumor went up to the captain of a thousand of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem had been embroiled. Who having taken out of it the soldiers and centurions, he ran down to them: and they having seen the captain of a thousand and the soldiers, ceased striking Paul. Then the captain of a thousand, having drawn near, took him, and commanded to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he might be, and what he had done. And other cried what other in the crowd: and not being able to know certainly for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the camp. And when he was upon the steps, it happened, he was borne by the soldiers for the violence of the crowd. For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Take him away. And being about to be brought into the camp, Paul says to the captain of a thousand, Is it lawful for me to speak anything to thee? and he said, Hast thou knowledge in Greek? Art not thou then the Egyptian, who before these days having risen up, and having brought into the desert four thousand men of murderers? And Paul said, I am truly a man a Jew, a Tarsean of Cilicia, a citizen of no undistinguished city: and I beseech of thee to give way for me to speak to the people. And having given way, Paul standing upon the steps, shook with the hand to the people. And being much silence, he spake in the Hebrew dialect, saying,

And at the festival he loosed to them one in bonds, whomsoever they asked.

(And he had necessity to loose one at the festival.)

But a custom is to you, that I loose one to you in the pascha: will ye therefore I should loose to you the King of the Jews

And in the festival the leader was accustomed to loose one imprisoned to the crowd, which they desired. And they had then an imprisoned distinguished, called Barabbas. Therefore they assembled together, Pilate laid to them, Whom will ye I shall loose to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, called Christ?

And John having heard in prison the works of Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

For this Herod, having sent, took John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he married her.

For Herod, having seized John, bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: And wishing to kill him, he was afraid of the crowd, because they held John as a prophet. read more.
The festivities of Herod's birthday being celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. Wherefore, with an oath, he agreed to give her whatever she should ask. And having been urged on by her mother, Give me, she says, here upon a board, the head of John the Baptist. And the king was grieved: but for his oath, and those reclining together at the table, he ordered to be given. And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought upon a board, and given to the girl, and she brought to her mother. And his disciples having come near, took away the body, and interred it; and having come, they announced to Jesus.

And he added this to all, and shut up John in prison.

For Jehovah heard to the needy, and he despised not his hound.

He did judgment for the oppressed; he gave bread to the hungering: Jehovah loosed those being bound.

The mourning of the bound shall come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm let the sons of death remain

For be looked forth from the height of his holy place; from the heavens Jehovah looked upon the earth; To hear the groaning of the bound; to loose the sons of death.

And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul defended himself, having stretched out the hand:

In my first defence none was present with me, but all forsook me; (may it not be reckoned to them.)

To whom I answered, That it is not the custom to Romans to yield up any man to destruction, before that the accused may have the accusers before the face, and take place for defence for the accusation.

And Paul answered, the leader having nodded to him to speak, Knowing from many years thee being judge to this nation, more cheerfully do I justify things concerning myself:

He justifying himself, That neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned any thing.

He went after her suddenly as the ox will go to the slaughter, and as the fetter for the correction of the foolish.

Jehovah gave thee priest instead of Jehoida the priest to be overseers of the house of Jehovah, and for every man raving and prophesying, and give him to the stocks and to the prison.

Who, having received such an order, cast them into the inner prison, and placed their feet firmly in wood.

And Joseph's lord will take him and put him into the house of the fortress, the place where the king's prisoners were bound; and he shall be there in the house of the fortress. And Jehovah will be with Joseph, and will extend to him kindness, and will give his grace in the eyes of the chief of the house of the fortress. And the chief of the house of the fortress will give into Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the house of the fortress; and all which was done there he was doing. read more.
The chief of the house of the fortress saw not all the things in his hand, because Jehovah was with him: and what he did Jehovah prospering.

And it will be the end of two years of days, and Pharaoh dreamed; and behold, he stood by the river. And behold, from the river came up seven heifers, fair of look and fat in flesh; and they will feed in marsh grass. Behold, seven other heifers coming up after them out of the river, evil of look, thin in flesh; and they will stand by the heifers by the lip of the river. read more.
And the heifers evil of look and thin of flesh, will devour the seven heifers fair of look, and fat. And Pharaoh will awake. And he will sleep, and will dream the second time, and behold seven ears coming upon one stalk, fat and good. And behold, seven ears thin and blasted by the east, springing up after them. And the thin ears will devour the seven ears fat and full. And Pharaoh will awake, and behold, a dream. And it will be in the morning, and his soul will be troubled; and he will send and call all the sacred scribes of Egypt, and all his wise; and Pharaoh will relate to them his dream; and none interpreting them to Pharaoh. And the chief of the cup-bearers will speak to Pharaoh, saying, I, remembering my sin this day. Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and gave me in guard in the house of the chief of the cooks, me and the chief of the bakers. And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he: we dreamed a man according to the interpretation of his dream. And there with us a Hebrew youth, servant to the chief of the cooks: and we shall relate to him, and he will interpret to us our dreams; and he interpreted a man according to his dream. And it will be according to that he interpreted to us, thus it was: me he restored to my place, and him he hung. And Pharaoh will send and call Joseph, and they will cause him to run from the pit; and he will be shaved and will change his garments; and he will come to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, I dreamed a dream, and there is none interpreting it, and I heard concerning thee, saying, Thou wilt hear a dream to interpret it And Joseph will answer Pharaoh, saying, Not in me: God. will answer Pharaoh with peace. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, In my dream I stood by the lip of the river And behold, from the river came up seven heifers, fat of flesh and fair of form, and they will feed in marsh grass. And behold, seven other heifers coming up after them, poor and evil exceedingly, in form, and thin in flesh I saw not like them in all the land of Egypt for evil. And the heifers thin and evil will devour the first seven fat heifers. And they shall come into their belly, and they shall not know that they came into their belly; and evil of form as that in the beginning. And I shall awake. And I shall see in my dream, and behold, seven ears coming up in one stalk, full and good. And behold, seven ears dry, thin, blasted by the east, springing up after them. And the thin ears will swallow the seven good ears: and I spake to the sacred scribes, and there was none announcing to me. And Joseph will say to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, one: this which he did; God announces to Pharaoh. The seven good heifers, they are seven years; and the seven good ears, they are seven years: this dream one. And the seven heifers, thin and evil, coming up after them, they are seven years; and the seven ears, thin, blasted by the east, shall be seven years of famine. This the word which I spake to Pharaoh: what God did, he showed Pharaoh. Behold, seven years coming of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt And seven years of famine arose after them, and all the plenty was forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine consumed the land. And the plenty shall not be known in the land on account of the famine after this; for it shall be exceedingly heavy. And because of the repeating of Pharaoh's dream twice, that the word was prepared from God; and God is hastening to do it And now will Pharaoh look out a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt And will Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, exacting a fifth part of the land of Egypt, in the seven years of plenty. And they shall gather all the food of these good years coming, and they shall heap up the grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and they shall watch food in the cities. And the food was for a deposit to the land, for the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be cut off in the famine. And the word will be good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh will say to his servants, Shall we find such as this man which has the spirit of God in him? And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, After that God showed thee all this, none discerning and wise as thou. Thou shalt be over my house, and to thy mouth all my people shall bend: only upon the throne I shall be great above thee. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, See, I gave thee over all the land of Egypt And Pharaoh will remove his signet ring from his hand, and will give it upon Joseph's hand; and will put upon him a white garment, and will put a gold collar about his neck. And he will cause him to ride in the second chariot which is to him. And they will cry out before him, Aback. And he gave him over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee, a man shall not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt

And when it was determined for us to sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain others bound to a centurion named Julius, of Augustus' band.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commander of the camp: but to Paul it was permitted to remain by himself with a soldier watching him.

And another day we were brought down to Sidon. And Julius having treated Paul affectionately, gave him up, having gone to his friends to obtain care.

And Paul remained two whole years in his own wages, and received all going to him, Proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, unimpeded.

And they will take Jeremiah and send him to the pit of Malchiah son of the king which was in the enclosure of the prison: and they will cast Jeremiah with cords, and in the pit no water but mud: and Jeremiah will sink in the mud.

They cut off my life in the pit, and cast a stone upon me. Waters were spread over my head; I said I was cut off.

And the king's servant went forth from the house of the king, and he will speak to the king, saying, read more.
My lord the king, these men did evil all which they did to Jeremiah the prophet whom they cast into the pit; and he will die in his low place from the face of hunger, for no more bread in the city. And the king will command the king's servant the Cushite, saying, Take in thy hand from here thirty men, and bring up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit before he shall die. And the king's servant will take the men in his hand and go to the house of the king under the store-house, and he will take from thence old torn rags, and rags rubbed small, and he will cast them to Jeremiah into the pit with cords. And the king's servant the Cashite will say to Jeremiah, Put now the old rags torn and rubbed small, under the joints of thy hands from under the cords; and Jeremiah will do so. And they will draw up Jeremiah with the cords, and bring him up out of the pit: and Jeremiah dwelt in the enclosure of the prison. And king Zedekiah will send and take Jeremiah the prophet to him to the third entrance which was in the house of Jehovah; and the king will say to Jeremiah, I ask thee a word; thou shalt not hide a word from me. And Jeremiah will say to Zedekiah, If I shall announce to thee, killing, wilt thou not put me to death? and if I shall counsel thee, thou wilt not hear to me? And king Zedekiah will swear to Jeremiah in secret, saying, Jehovah lives who made to us this soul, if I shall put thee to death, and if I shall give thee into the hand of these men who are seeking thy soul And Jeremiah will say to Zedekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of armies, God of Israel, If going forth, thou wilt go forth to the chiefs of the king of Babel, and thy soul lived, and this city shall not be burnt with fire; and thou livedst and thy house: And if thou wilt not go forth to the chiefs of the king of Babel, and this city was given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they burnt it with fire, and thou shalt not escape from their hand.

And all thy women and all thy sons being brought forth to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape from their hand, for thou shalt be seized by the hand of the king of Babel: and thou shalt burn this city with fire. And Zedekiah will say to Jeremiah, No man shall know of these words, and thou shalt not die. And if the chiefs shall hear that I spake with thee, and they came to thee, and said to thee, Announce now to us what thou spakest to the king; thou shalt not hide from us, and we will not put thee to death; and what said the king to thee: And say thou to them, I cause my supplication to fall before the king, not to turn me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there. And all the chiefs will come to Jeremiah, and they will ask him: and he will announce to them according to all these words which the king commanded.

The spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah anointed me to announce good news to the afflicted, he sent me to bind up to the broken of heart, to call freedom to the captives, and the opening of the prison to the bound.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me for which he anointed me to announce good news to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim a remission to the captives, and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send away with remission the bruised,

For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye brought me in: Naked, and ye put around me: I was sick, and ye reviewed me: I was in prison, and ye came to me. Then shall the just answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished or thirsting, and gave to drink read more.
And when saw we thee a stranger, and brought in or naked, and put around And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? And the king having answered, will say to them, Trull I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did to one of the least of my brethren, ye did to me. Then shall he say to them from the left, Go away from me, the cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his messengers: For I was hungry, and ye gave me not to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger and ye brought me not in; naked, and ye put not around me; sick, and in prison, and ye took not a view of me. Then shall they answer him, they also saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and attended not to thee? Then shall he answer them saying, Inasmuch as ye did not to one of the least of these, ye did not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: and the just into eternal life.

And it being day, not a little trouble was among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. And Herod having sought him, and not found, having examined the watch, commanded them to be removed. And having come down from Judea to Cesarea, he tarried.

And her lords having seen that the hope of their gain went out, taking Paul and Silas, they drew to the assembly to the rulers, And having brought them to the generals, they said, These the men who cause disturbance to our city, being Jews, And they announce customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor do, being Romans. read more.
And the crowd set together against them: and the generals having rent their garments, commanded to scourge with rods. And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such an order, cast them into the inner prison, and placed their feet firmly in wood. And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, praised God: and the imprisoned heard them. And suddenly was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were let loose. And the jailor being awakened, and having seen the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the imprisoned to have fled. And Paul called with a great voice, saying, Thou shouldest do no injury to thyself; for we are all here. And having asked for a light, he rushed in, and being trembling, fell before Paul and Silas, And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all in his house. And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed out the blows; and was immersed, he and all his, immediately. And having brought them up to his house, he set a table before, and rejoiced with the entire household, having believed God. And it being day, the generals sent the bearers of the rod, saying, Loose these men. And the jailor announced these words to Paul, That the generals have sent that ye be loosed: now therefore having come out, go in peace. But Paul said to them, Having stripped us publicly not condemned, being Roman men, they cast into prison and now do they cast us out secretly? not so; but having come themselves, let them bring us out. :And the bearer of the rod announced these words to the generals: and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans.

And having come out of prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they encouraged them, and they came forth.

Go ye, and having stood, speak in the temple all the words of this life. And having heard, they came in by morning to the temple, and taught. But the chief priest having approached, and they with him, called the council together, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought. And the attendants having come near, found them not in the prison, and having returned, they announced, Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within. And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be. And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned. And having brought them, they set in the council: and the chief priest asked them, Saying, Did we not announce to you by order, not to teach by this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye desire to bring upon us this man's blood. And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him. And having heard, they gnashed the teeth with rage, and consulted to kill them. And a certain Pharisee having risen up in the council, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, urged to put the sent without a little while. And he said to them, Men, Israelites, attend to yourselves on account of these men, what ye are about to do. For before these days Theudas arose, saying himself to be somebody: which a number of men followed, about four hundred, who was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were destroyed, and were for nothing. After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered. And now say I to you, Depart from these men, and leave them; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it shall be destroyed: And if it is of God, ye cannot destroy it; lest ye also be found contenders against God. And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them. Truly therefore they went rejoicing from the face of the council, that for his name they were deemed worthy to be dishonoured. And every day in the temple, and at the house, they ceased not teaching and announcing the good news, Jesus the Christ.

And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added also to take Peter. (They were the days of unleavened bread.)

Truly therefore was Peter kept in prison: and prayer was made continually by the church to God for him. read more.
And when Herod was about to bring him before, in that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the watch before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the messenger of the Lord stood before, and a light shone in the dwelling: and having struck Peter's side, he raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from the hands. And the messenger said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy small sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Put round thy garment, and follow me. And having come out, he followed him; and knew not that it is true that being done by the messenger; and seemed to see a vision. And having passed by the first and second watch, they came to the iron gate leading to the city; which of its free will was opened to them: and having come out, they advanced one street; and quickly the messenger departed from him. And Peter being as himself, said, Now know I truly that the Lord sent his messenger, and took me out of the hands of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews. And being conscious, he came to the house of Mary mother of John, surnamed Mark; where were sufficient assembled, and praying. And Peter having knocked at the door of the gate, a young girl came near to listen, by name Rhoda. And having known Peter's voice, from joy she opened not the gate, and running, announced Peter to stand before the gate. And they said to her, Thou art mad. And she was strengthened to have it so. And they said, It is his messenger. And Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were moved. And having shaken with the hand at them to be silent, he related to them how the Lord brought him out of prison. And he said, Announce these things to James, and the brethren. And having come out, he went to another place. And it being day, not a little trouble was among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
