Chapter 12
1
Por aquele mesmo tempo, o rei Herodes começou a maltratar alguns membros da igreja.
2
Ele matou Tiago, irmão de João, à espada.
3
Vendo que isso agradava aos judeus, mandou prender também Pedro. Isso foi durante os dias dos pães asmos.
4
Depois de prendê-lo, colocou-o na prisão e o entregou a quatro grupos de quatro soldados cada para guardá-lo, com a intenção de apresentá-lo ao povo depois da Páscoa.
5
Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão, mas a igreja orava continuamente a Deus por ele.
6
Naquela mesma noite, quando Herodes estava para apresentá-lo, Pedro dormia entre dois soldados, acorrentado com duas cadeias. Guardas em frente à porta vigiavam a prisão.
7
E eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu ao lado dele, e uma luz brilhou na cela. Ele tocou no lado de Pedro e o acordou, dizendo: “Levante-se depressa!” E as cadeias caíram de suas mãos.
8
O anjo lhe disse: “Vista-se e calce as suas sandálias.” Ele assim o fez. Disse-lhe mais: “Ponha a sua capa e siga-me.”
9
Ele saiu e o seguiu. Não sabia que o que o anjo fazia era real, mas pensava que via uma visão.
10
Quando passaram pelo primeiro e pelo segundo posto de guarda, chegaram ao portão de ferro que dá para a cidade, o qual se abriu por si mesmo para eles. Saíram e desceram por uma rua, e imediatamente o anjo o deixou.
11
Quando Pedro caiu em si, disse: “Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo e me livrou do poder de Herodes e de tudo o que o povo judeu esperava.”
12
Pensando nisso, ele foi à casa de Maria, mãe de João, chamado Marcos, onde muitos estavam reunidos e oravam.
13
Quando Pedro bateu à porta do portão, uma serva chamada Rode veio atender.
14
Quando ela reconheceu a voz de Pedro, de tanta alegria não abriu o portão, mas correu para dentro e anunciou que Pedro estava em pé em frente ao portão.
15
Eles lhe disseram: “Você está louca!” Mas ela insistia que era assim. Eles disseram: “É o seu anjo.”
16
Mas Pedro continuava batendo. Quando abriram, eles o viram e ficaram espantados.
17
Mas ele, fazendo-lhes sinal com a mão para que se calassem, declarou-lhes como o Senhor o havia tirado da prisão. E disse: “Contem estas coisas a Tiago e aos irmãos.” Então ele saiu e foi para outro lugar.
18
Logo que amanheceu, houve grande alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que teria acontecido a Pedro.
19
Quando Herodes o procurou e não o encontrou, interrogou os guardas e ordenou que fossem executados. Ele desceu da Judeia para Cesareia e ali permaneceu.
20
Ora, Herodes estava muito irado com o povo de Tiro e de Sidom. Eles foram juntos falar com Herodes e, depois de conseguirem o apoio de Blasto, assistente pessoal do rei, pediram paz, porque o seu país dependia do país do rei para obter alimento.
21
Em um dia designado, Herodes vestiu-se com trajes reais, assentou-se no trono e lhes fez um discurso.
22
O povo gritava: “É a voz de um deus, e não de um homem!”
23
Imediatamente um anjo do Senhor o feriu, porque ele não deu glória a Deus. Então ele foi comido por vermes e morreu.
24
Mas a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
25
Barnabé e Saulo voltaram para Jerusalém quando cumpriram o seu serviço, levando também com eles João, que era chamado Marcos.
Acts
Chapter 12
1
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
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.
5
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
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.
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.
16
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
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.
18
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and there abode.
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.
21
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24
¶ But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
