Now about that time ¹Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to harm them. 2 And he ^ahad James the brother of John ^bput to death with a sword. 3 And when he saw that it ^apleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now ¹it was during ^bthe days of Unleavened Bread. 4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four ¹^asquads of soldiers to guard him, intending after ^bthe Passover to bring him out before the people.
