Apostlenes gjerninger 12,5

Simon
PrayerFellowship and the church

3 Da han så at dette behaget jødene, fortsatte han med å arrestere Peter også. Dette skjedde under de usyrede brøds høytid.

4 Etter å ha arrestert ham, satte han ham i fengsel og overlot ham til å bli voktet av fire vaktskifter med soldater. Herodes planla å føre ham fram for offentlig rettssak etter påsken.

Peter ble holdt i fengsel, men kirken ba inderlig til Gud for ham.

6 Natten før Herodes skulle føre ham fram til rettssak, sov Peter mellom to soldater, bundet med to lenker, mens vakter sto ved inngangen.

7 Plutselig viste en Herrens engel seg, og et lys skinte i cellen. Han slo Peter på siden og vekket ham, og sa: "Stå opp raskt." Lenken falt av Peters håndledd.
