Atos 12 - Bíblia Online

E por aquele mesmo tempo o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da igreja, para os maltratar; 
E matou à espada Tiago, irmão de João. 
E, vendo que isso agradara aos judeus, continuou, mandando prender também a Pedro. E eram os dias dos ázimos. 
E, havendo-o prendido, o encerrou na prisão, entregando-o a quatro quaternos de soldados, para que o guardassem, querendo apresentá-lo ao povo depois da páscoa. 
Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão; mas a igreja fazia contínua oração por ele a Deus. 
E quando Herodes estava para o fazer comparecer, nessa mesma noite estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, ligado com duas cadeias, e os guardas diante da porta guardavam a prisão. 
E eis que sobreveio o anjo do Senhor, e resplandeceu uma luz na prisão; e, tocando a Pedro na ilharga, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa. E caíram-lhe das mãos as cadeias. 
E disse-lhe o anjo: Cinge-te, e ata as tuas alparcas. E ele assim o fez. Disse-lhe mais: Lança às costas a tua capa, e segue-me. 
E, saindo, o seguia. E não sabia que era real o que estava sendo feito pelo anjo, mas cuidava que via alguma visão. 
E, quando passaram a primeira e segunda guarda, chegaram à porta de ferro, que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e, tendo saído, percorreram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou dele. 
E Pedro, tornando a si, disse: Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo, e me livrou da mão de Herodes, e de tudo o que o povo dos judeus esperava. 
E, considerando ele nisto, foi à casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitos estavam reunidos e oravam. 
E, batendo Pedro à porta do pátio, uma menina chamada Rode saiu a escutar; 
E, conhecendo a voz de Pedro, de gozo não abriu a porta, mas, correndo para dentro, anunciou que Pedro estava à porta. 
E disseram-lhe: Estás fora de ti. Mas ela afirmava que assim era. E diziam: É o seu anjo. 
Mas Pedro perseverava em bater e, quando abriram, viram-no, e se espantaram. 
E acenando-lhes ele com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirara da prisão, e disse: Anunciai isto a Tiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro lugar. 
E, sendo já dia, houve não pouco alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que seria feito de Pedro. 
E, quando Herodes o procurou e o não achou, feita inquirição aos guardas, mandou-os justiçar. E, partindo da Judéia para Cesaréia, ficou ali. 
E ele estava irritado com os de Tiro e de Sidom; mas estes, vindo de comum acordo ter com ele, e obtendo a amizade de Blasto, que era o camarista do rei, pediam paz; porquanto o seu país se abastecia do país do rei. 
E num dia designado, vestindo Herodes as vestes reais, estava assentado no tribunal e lhes fez uma prática. 
E o povo exclamava: Voz de Deus, e não de homem. 
E no mesmo instante feriu-o o anjo do Senhor, porque não deu glória a Deus e, comido de bichos, expirou. 
E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava. 
E Barnabé e Saulo, havendo terminado aquele serviço, voltaram de Jerusalém, levando também consigo a João, que tinha por sobrenome Marcos.

It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 
He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. 
When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread. 
After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. 
So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 
The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. 
Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists. 
Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. 
Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 
They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. 
Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen." 
When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. 
Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door. 
When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, "Peter is at the door!" 
"You're out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel." 
But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 
Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this," he said, and then he left for another place. 
In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. 
After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. 
He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply. 
On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 
They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man." 
Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. 
But the word of God continued to spread and flourish. 
When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from "Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.
