Acts 12
1 Now about that time, Herod the king stretched forth [his] hands to afflict certain of the church.
eodem autem tempore misit Herodes rex manus ut adfligeret quosdam de ecclesia
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
occidit autem Iacobum fratrem Iohannis gladio
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Then were the days of unleavened bread.
videns autem quia placeret Iudaeis adposuit adprehendere et Petrum erant autem dies azymorum
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put [him] in prison, and delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.
quem cum adprehendisset misit in carcerem tradens quattuor quaternionibus militum custodire eum volens post pascha producere eum populo
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.
et Petrus quidem servabatur in carcere oratio autem fiebat sine intermissione ab ecclesia ad Deum pro eo
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
cum autem producturus eum esset Herodes in ipsa nocte erat Petrus dormiens inter duos milites vinctus catenis duabus et custodes ante ostium custodiebant carcerem
7 And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him], and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from [his] hands.
et ecce angelus Domini adstitit et lumen refulsit in habitaculo percussoque latere Petri suscitavit eum dicens surge velociter et ceciderunt catenae de manibus eius
8 And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
dixit autem angelus ad eum praecingere et calcia te gallicas tuas et fecit sic et dixit illi circumda tibi vestimentum tuum et sequere me
9 And he went out, and followed him, and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
et exiens sequebatur et nesciebat quia verum est quod fiebat per angelum aestimabat autem se visum videre
10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
transeuntes autem primam et secundam custodiam venerunt ad portam ferream quae ducit ad civitatem quae ultro aperta est eis et exeuntes processerunt vicum unum et continuo discessit angelus ab eo
11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
et Petrus ad se reversus dixit nunc scio vere quia misit Dominus angelum suum et eripuit me de manu Herodis et de omni expectatione plebis Iudaeorum
12 And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were assembled, praying.
consideransque venit ad domum Mariae matris Iohannis qui cognominatus est Marcus ubi erant multi congregati et orantes
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
pulsante autem eo ostium ianuae processit puella ad audiendum nomine Rhode
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate
et ut cognovit vocem Petri prae gaudio non aperuit ianuam sed intro currens nuntiavit stare Petrum ante ianuam
15 And they said to her, Thou art insane. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.
at illi dixerunt ad eam insanis illa autem adfirmabat sic se habere illi autem dicebant angelus eius est
16 But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened [the door], and saw him, they were astonished.
Petrus autem perseverabat pulsans cum autem aperuissent viderunt eum et obstipuerunt
17 But he beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
annuens autem eis manu ut tacerent enarravit quomodo Dominus eduxisset eum de carcere dixitque nuntiate Iacobo et fratribus haec et egressus abiit in alium locum
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
facta autem die erat non parva turbatio inter milites quidnam de Petro factum esset
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that [they] should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and [there] abode.
Herodes autem cum requisisset eum et non invenisset inquisitione facta de custodibus iussit eos duci descendensque a Iudaea in Caesaream ibi commoratus est
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. But they came with one accord to him, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's [country].
erat autem iratus Tyriis et Sidoniis at illi unianimes venerunt ad eum et persuaso Blasto qui erat super cubiculum regis postulabant pacem eo quod alerentur regiones eorum ab illo
21 And upon a set day, Herod arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them.
statuto autem die Herodes vestitus veste regia sedit pro tribunali et contionabatur ad eos
22 And the people gave a shout, [saying], [It is] the voice of a god, and not of a man.
populus autem adclamabat dei voces et non hominis
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.
confestim autem percussit eum angelus Domini eo quod non dedisset honorem Deo et consumptus a vermibus exspiravit
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
verbum autem Domini crescebat et multiplicabatur
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled [their] ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Barnabas autem et Saulus reversi sunt ab Hierosolymis expleto ministerio adsumpto Iohanne qui cognominatus est Marcus
