Peter’s Arrest and Deliverance | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. | 1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. | 1 Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church. | 1 AND at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church. | 1 And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly, | 2 And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword. | 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. | 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. | 2 And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword. | 2 and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword, | 3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now it was during the days of Unleavened Bread. | 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) | 3 And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And those were the days of unleavened bread. | 3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes. | 3 and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also -- and they were the days of the unleavened food -- | 4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out before the people. | 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 Easter to bring him forth to the people. | 4 And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people. | 4 And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people. | 4 whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people. | 5 So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God. | 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. | 5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him. | 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him. | 5 Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison. | 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. | 6 And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison. | 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. | 6 and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison, | 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter's side and woke him up, saying, "Get up quickly." And his chains fell off his hands. | 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 up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. | 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. | 7 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands. | 7 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, 'Rise in haste,' and his chains fell from off his hands. | 8 And the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me." | 8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. | 8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. | 8 And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. | 8 The messenger also said to him, 'Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;' and he did so; and he saith to him, 'Put thy garment round and be following me;' | 9 And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. | 9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. | 9 And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision. | 9 And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision. | 9 and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision, | 10 When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. | 10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. | 10 And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him. | 10 And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him. | 10 and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting." | 11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, 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. | 11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. | 11 And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, 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. | 11 And Peter having come to himself, said, 'Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;' | 12 And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying. | 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 gathered together praying. | 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 gathered together and were praying. | 12 And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying. | 12 also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying. | 13 When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer. | 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda. | 13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda. | 13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode. | 13 And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda, | 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate. | 14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate. | 14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate. | 14 And as soon as she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate. | 14 and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch, | 15 They said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. They kept saying, "It is his angel." | 15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel. | 15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel. | 15 But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel. | 15 and they said unto her, 'Thou art mad;' and she was confidently affirming it to be so, and they said, 'It is his messenger;' | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 But Peter continued knocking; and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed. | 16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished. | 16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed. | 16 But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished. | 16 and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished, | 17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, "Report these things to James and the brethren." Then he left and went to another place. | 17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place. | 17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison.

| 20 Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and with one accord they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king's chamberlain, they were asking for peace, because their country was fed by the king's country. | 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. | 20 Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king's country. | 20 And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians.
