Acts 12:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
1
Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church, to do them harm.
2
And he had James the brother of John executed with a sword.
3
When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter as well. (Now
these
were the days of Unleavened Bread.)
4
When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, turning him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending
only
after the Passover to bring him before the people.
5
So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made to God intensely by the church.

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.

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
