Acts 12:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² He had James, the brother of John, executed. ³ When he saw how this pleased the Jews, he arrested Peter too. This happened during the days of Unleavened Bread. ⁴ After capturing Peter, Herod had him thrown into prison with sixteen soldiers in squads of four to guard him. Herod wanted to bring Peter to trial in front of the people after Passover.
