GNT

1 κατ᾽ ἐκεῖνον δὲ τὸν καιρὸν ἐπέβαλεν ἡρῴδης ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰς χεῖρας κακῶσαί τινας τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας.

2 ἀνεῖλεν δὲ ἰάκωβον τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἰωάννου μαχαίρῃ.

3 ἰδὼν δὲ ὅτι ἀρεστόν ἐστιν τοῖς ἰουδαίοις προσέθετο συλλαβεῖν καὶ πέτρον ἦσαν δὲ [αἱ] ἡμέραι τῶν ἀζύμων,

4 ὃν καὶ πιάσας ἔθετο εἰς φυλακήν, παραδοὺς τέσσαρσιν τετραδίοις στρατιωτῶν φυλάσσειν αὐτόν, βουλόμενος μετὰ τὸ πάσχα ἀναγαγεῖν αὐτὸν τῶ λαῶ.

5 ὁ μὲν οὗν πέτρος ἐτηρεῖτο ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ· προσευχὴ δὲ ἦν ἐκτενῶς γινομένη ὑπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας πρὸς τὸν θεὸν περὶ αὐτοῦ.

6 ὅτε δὲ ἤμελλεν προαγαγεῖν αὐτὸν ὁ ἡρῴδης, τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ ἦν ὁ πέτρος κοιμώμενος μεταξὺ δύο στρατιωτῶν δεδεμένος ἁλύσεσιν δυσίν, φύλακές τε πρὸ τῆς θύρας ἐτήρουν τὴν φυλακήν.

7 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐπέστη, καὶ φῶς ἔλαμψεν ἐν τῶ οἰκήματι· πατάξας δὲ τὴν πλευρὰν τοῦ πέτρου ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν λέγων, ἀνάστα ἐν τάχει. καὶ ἐξέπεσαν αὐτοῦ αἱ ἁλύσεις ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν.

8 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς αὐτόν, ζῶσαι καὶ ὑπόδησαι τὰ σανδάλιά σου. ἐποίησεν δὲ οὕτως. καὶ λέγει αὐτῶ, περιβαλοῦ τὸ ἱμάτιόν σου καὶ ἀκολούθει μοι.

9 καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἠκολούθει, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι ἀληθές ἐστιν τὸ γινόμενον διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου, ἐδόκει δὲ ὅραμα βλέπειν.

10 διελθόντες δὲ πρώτην φυλακὴν καὶ δευτέραν ἦλθαν ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τὴν σιδηρᾶν τὴν φέρουσαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἥτις αὐτομάτη ἠνοίγη αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐξελθόντες προῆλθον ῥύμην μίαν, καὶ εὐθέως ἀπέστη ὁ ἄγγελος ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.

11 καὶ ὁ πέτρος ἐν ἑαυτῶ γενόμενος εἶπεν, νῦν οἶδα ἀληθῶς ὅτι ἐξαπέστειλεν [ὁ] κύριος τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξείλατό με ἐκ χειρὸς ἡρῴδου καὶ πάσης τῆς προσδοκίας τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν ἰουδαίων.

12 συνιδών τε ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν τῆς μαρίας τῆς μητρὸς ἰωάννου τοῦ ἐπικαλουμένου μάρκου, οὖ ἦσαν ἱκανοὶ συνηθροισμένοι καὶ προσευχόμενοι.

13 κρούσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ τὴν θύραν τοῦ πυλῶνος προσῆλθεν παιδίσκη ὑπακοῦσαι ὀνόματι ῥόδη·

14 καὶ ἐπιγνοῦσα τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ πέτρου ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς οὐκ ἤνοιξεν τὸν πυλῶνα, εἰσδραμοῦσα δὲ ἀπήγγειλεν ἑστάναι τὸν πέτρον πρὸ τοῦ πυλῶνος.

15 οἱ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπαν, μαίνῃ. ἡ δὲ διϊσχυρίζετο οὕτως ἔχειν. οἱ δὲ ἔλεγον, ὁ ἄγγελός ἐστιν αὐτοῦ.

16 ὁ δὲ πέτρος ἐπέμενεν κρούων· ἀνοίξαντες δὲ εἶδαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξέστησαν.

17 κατασείσας δὲ αὐτοῖς τῇ χειρὶ σιγᾶν διηγήσατο [αὐτοῖς] πῶς ὁ κύριος αὐτὸν ἐξήγαγεν ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς, εἶπέν τε, ἀπαγγείλατε ἰακώβῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ταῦτα. καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐπορεύθη εἰς ἕτερον τόπον.

18 γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας ἦν τάραχος οὐκ ὀλίγος ἐν τοῖς στρατιώταις, τί ἄρα ὁ πέτρος ἐγένετο.

19 ἡρῴδης δὲ ἐπιζητήσας αὐτὸν καὶ μὴ εὑρὼν ἀνακρίνας τοὺς φύλακας ἐκέλευσεν ἀπαχθῆναι, καὶ κατελθὼν ἀπὸ τῆς ἰουδαίας εἰς καισάρειαν διέτριβεν.

20 ἦν δὲ θυμομαχῶν τυρίοις καὶ σιδωνίοις· ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ παρῆσαν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ πείσαντες βλάστον τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ κοιτῶνος τοῦ βασιλέως ᾐτοῦντο εἰρήνην, διὰ τὸ τρέφεσθαι αὐτῶν τὴν χώραν ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλικῆς.

21 τακτῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ ἡρῴδης ἐνδυσάμενος ἐσθῆτα βασιλικὴν [καὶ] καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἐδημηγόρει πρὸς αὐτούς·

22 ὁ δὲ δῆμος ἐπεφώνει, θεοῦ φωνὴ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώπου.

23 παραχρῆμα δὲ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ἄγγελος κυρίου ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οὐκ ἔδωκεν τὴν δόξαν τῶ θεῶ, καὶ γενόμενος σκωληκόβρωτος ἐξέψυξεν.

24 ὁ δὲ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ ηὔξανεν καὶ ἐπληθύνετο.

25 βαρναβᾶς δὲ καὶ σαῦλος ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ πληρώσαντες τὴν διακονίαν, συμπαραλαβόντες ἰωάννην τὸν ἐπικληθέντα μᾶρκον.

1  Now¹¹⁶¹ about²⁵⁹⁶ that¹⁵⁶⁵ time²⁵⁴⁰ Herod²²⁶⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ king⁹³⁵ stretched forth¹⁹¹¹ his hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ to vex²⁵⁵⁹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ church.¹⁵⁷⁷

2  And¹¹⁶¹ he killed³³⁷ James²³⁸⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ brother⁸⁰ of John²⁴⁹¹ with the sword.³¹⁶²

3  And²⁵³² because he saw¹⁴⁹² it³⁷⁵⁴ pleased^{2076 701} the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ he proceeded further⁴³⁶⁹ to take⁴⁸¹⁵ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ also.²⁵³² (Then¹¹⁶¹ were²²⁵⁸ the days²²⁵⁰ of unleavened bread.)¹⁰⁶

4  And²⁵³² when he³⁷³⁹ had apprehended⁴⁰⁸⁴ him, he put⁵⁰⁸⁷ him in¹⁵¹⁹ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ and delivered³⁸⁶⁰ him to four⁵⁰⁶⁴ quaternions⁵⁰⁶⁹ of soldiers⁴⁷⁵⁷ to keep⁵⁴⁴² him;⁸⁴⁶ intending¹⁰¹⁴ after³³²⁶ Easter³⁹⁵⁷ to bring him forth^{321 846} to the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

5  Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ was³³⁰³ kept⁵⁰⁸³ in¹⁷²² prison:⁵⁴³⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ prayer⁴³³⁵ was²²⁵⁸ made¹⁰⁹⁶ without ceasing¹⁶¹⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ unto⁴³¹⁴ God²³¹⁶ for⁵²²⁸ him.⁸⁴⁶

6  And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ Herod²²⁶⁴ would³¹⁹⁵ have brought him forth,^{4254 846} the³⁵⁸⁸ same¹⁵⁶⁵ night³⁵⁷¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was²²⁵⁸ sleeping²⁸³⁷ between³³⁴² two¹⁴¹⁷ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ bound¹²¹⁰ with two¹⁴¹⁷ chains:²⁵⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ the keepers⁵⁴⁴¹ before⁴²⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ door²³⁷⁴ kept⁵⁰⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison.⁵⁴³⁸

7  And,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² came upon²¹⁸⁶ him, and²⁵³² a light⁵⁴⁵⁷ shined²⁹⁸⁹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ prison:³⁶¹² and¹¹⁶¹ he smote³⁹⁶⁰ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ on the³⁵⁸⁸ side,⁴¹²⁵ and raised him up,^{1453 846} saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Arise up⁴⁵⁰ quickly.^{1722 5034} And²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ chains²⁵⁴ fell off¹⁶⁰¹ from¹⁵³⁷ his hands.⁵⁴⁹⁵

8  And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Gird thyself,⁴⁰²⁴ and²⁵³² bind⁵²⁶⁵ on thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ sandals.⁴⁵⁴⁷ And¹¹⁶¹ so³⁷⁷⁹ he did.⁴¹⁶⁰ And²⁵³² he saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Cast thy garment about^{4016 4675 2440} thee, and²⁵³² follow¹⁹⁰ me.³⁴²⁷

9  And²⁵³² he went out,¹⁸³¹ and followed¹⁹⁰ him;⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² wist¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ it was²⁰⁷⁶ true²²⁷ which was done¹⁰⁹⁶ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ angel;³² but¹¹⁶¹ thought¹³⁸⁰ he saw⁹⁹¹ a vision.³⁷⁰⁵

10  When¹¹⁶¹ they were past¹³³⁰ the first⁴⁴¹³ and²⁵³² the second¹²⁰⁸ ward,⁵⁴³⁸ they came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ iron⁴⁶⁰³ gate⁴⁴³⁹ that leadeth⁵³⁴² unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ city;⁴¹⁷² which³⁷⁴⁸ opened⁴⁵⁵ to them⁸⁴⁶ of his own accord:⁸⁴⁴ and²⁵³² they went out,¹⁸³¹ and passed on⁴²⁸¹ through one³³⁹¹ street;⁴⁵⁰⁵ and²⁵³² forthwith²¹¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² departed⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ him.⁸⁴⁶

11  And²⁵³² when Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was come¹⁰⁹⁶ to¹⁷²² himself,¹⁴³⁸ he said,²⁰³⁶ Now³⁵⁶⁸ I know¹⁴⁹² of a surety,²³⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ the Lord²⁹⁶² hath sent¹⁸²¹ his⁸⁴⁸ angel,³² and²⁵³² hath delivered¹⁸⁰⁷ me³¹⁶⁵ out of¹⁵³⁷ the hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ of Herod,²²⁶⁴ and²⁵³² from all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ expectation⁴³²⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews.²⁴⁵³

12  And⁵⁰³⁷ when he had considered⁴⁸⁹⁴ the thing, he came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ house³⁶¹⁴ of Mary³¹³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ mother³³⁸⁴ of John,²⁴⁹¹ whose surname¹⁹⁴¹ was Mark;³¹³⁸ where³⁷⁵⁷ many²⁴²⁵ were²²⁵⁸ gathered together^{4867 2532} praying.⁴³³⁶

13  And¹¹⁶¹ as Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ knocked²⁹²⁵ at the³⁵⁸⁸ door²³⁷⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gate,⁴⁴⁴⁰ a damsel³⁸¹⁴ came⁴³³⁴ to hearken,⁵²¹⁹ named³⁶⁸⁶ Rhoda.⁴⁴⁹⁸

14  And²⁵³² when she knew¹⁹²¹ Peter's⁴⁰⁷⁴ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ she opened⁴⁵⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ gate⁴⁴⁴⁰ for⁵⁷⁵ gladness,⁵⁴⁷⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ ran in,¹⁵³² and told⁵¹⁸ how Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ stood²⁴⁷⁶ before⁴²⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ gate.⁴⁴⁴⁰

15  And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ her,⁸⁴⁶ Thou art mad.³¹⁰⁵ But¹¹⁶¹ she³⁵⁸⁸ constantly affirmed¹³⁴⁰ that it was²¹⁹² even so.³⁷⁷⁹ Then¹¹⁶¹ said³⁰⁰⁴ they,³⁵⁸⁸ It is²⁰⁷⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ angel.³²

16  But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ continued¹⁹⁶¹ knocking:²⁹²⁵ and¹¹⁶¹ when they had opened⁴⁵⁵ the door, and saw¹⁴⁹² him,⁸⁴⁶ they were²⁵³² astonished.¹⁸³⁹

17  But¹¹⁶¹ he, beckoning²⁶⁷⁸ unto them⁸⁴⁶ with the³⁵⁸⁸ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ to hold their peace,⁴⁶⁰¹ declared¹³³⁴ unto them⁸⁴⁶ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² had brought¹⁸⁰⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison.⁵⁴³⁸ And¹¹⁶¹ he said,²⁰³⁶ Go show⁵¹⁸ these things⁵⁰²³ unto James,²³⁸⁵ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren.⁸⁰ And²⁵³² he departed,¹⁸³¹ and went⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ another²⁰⁸⁷ place.⁵¹¹⁷

18  Now¹¹⁶¹ as soon as it was¹⁰⁹⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ there was²²⁵⁸ no³⁷⁵⁶ small³⁶⁴¹ stir⁵⁰¹⁷ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ what⁵¹⁰¹ was⁶⁸⁶ become¹⁰⁹⁶ of Peter.⁴⁰⁷⁴

19  And¹¹⁶¹ when Herod²²⁶⁴ had sought for¹⁹³⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ him not,³³⁶¹ he examined³⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ keepers,⁵⁴⁴¹ and commanded²⁷⁵³ that they should be put to death.⁵²⁰ And²⁵³² he went down²⁷¹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ Judea²⁴⁴⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and there abode.¹³⁰⁴

20  And¹¹⁶¹ Herod²²⁶⁴ was²²⁵⁸ highly displeased²³⁷¹ with them of Tyre⁵¹⁸³ and²⁵³² Sidon:⁴⁶⁰⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ they came³⁹¹⁸ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and,²⁵³² having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend,^{3982 986 3588 935 1909 2846} desired¹⁵⁴ peace;¹⁵¹⁵ because their⁸⁴⁶ country⁵⁵⁶¹ was nourished⁵¹⁴² by⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ king's⁹³⁷ country.

21  And¹¹⁶¹ upon a set⁵⁰⁰² day²²⁵⁰ Herod,²²⁶⁴ arrayed¹⁷⁴⁶ in royal⁹³⁷ apparel,^{2066 2532} sat²⁵²³ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ his throne,⁹⁶⁸ and made an oration¹²¹⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

22  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people¹²¹⁸ gave a shout,²⁰¹⁹ saying, It is the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ of a god,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ of a man.⁴⁴⁴

23  And¹¹⁶¹ immediately³⁹¹⁶ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² smote³⁹⁶⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ because^{473 3739} he gave¹³²⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ God²³¹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ glory:¹³⁹¹ and²⁵³² he was¹⁰⁹⁶ eaten of worms,⁴⁶⁶² and gave up the ghost.¹⁶³⁴

24  But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ grew⁸³⁷ and²⁵³² multiplied.⁴¹²⁹

25  And¹¹⁶¹ Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ returned⁵²⁹⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ when they had fulfilled⁴¹³⁷ their ministry,¹²⁴⁸ and²⁵³² took with⁴⁸³⁸ them John,²⁴⁹¹ whose surname was¹⁹⁴¹ Mark.³¹³⁸

Vul

1 Eodem autem tempore misit Herodes rex manus, ut affligeret quosdam de ecclesia.

2 Occidit autem Jacobum fratrem Joannis gladio.

3 Videns autem quia placeret Judæis, apposuit ut apprehenderet et Petrum. Erant autem dies Azymorum.

4 Quem cum apprehendisset, misit in carcerem, tradens quatuor quaternionibus militum custodiendum, volens post Pascha producere eum populo.

5 Et Petrus quidem servabatur in carcere. Oratio autem fiebant sine intermissione ab ecclesia ad Deum pro eo.

6 Cum autem producturus eum esset Herodes, in ipsa nocte erat Petrus dormiens inter duos milites, vinctus catenis duabus: et custodes ante ostium custodiebant carcerem.

7 Et ecce angelus Domini astitit, et lumen refulsit in habitaculo: percussoque latere Petri, excitavit eum, dicens: Surge velociter. Et ceciderunt catenæ de manibus ejus.

8 Dixit autem angelus ad eum: Præcingere, et calcea te caligas tuas. Et fecit sic. Et dixit illi: Circumda tibi vestimentum tuum, et sequere me.

9 Et exiens sequebatur eum, et nesciebat quia verum est, quod fiebat per angelum: existimabat autem se visum videre.

10 Transeuntes autem primam et secundam custodiam, venerunt ad portam ferream, quæ ducit ad civitatem: quæ ultro aperta est eis. Et exeuntes processerunt vicum unum: et continuo discessit angelus ab eo.

11 Et Petrus ad se reversus, dixit: Nunc scio vere quia misit Dominus angelum suum, et eripuit me de manu Herodis, et de omni exspectatione plebis Judæorum.

12 Consideransque venit ad domum Mariæ matris Joannis, qui cognominatus est Marcus, ubi erant multi congregati, et orantes.

13 Pulsante autem eo ostium januæ, processit puella ad audiendum, nomine Rhode.

14 Et ut cognovit vocem Petri, præ gaudio non aperuit januam, sed intro currens nuntiavit stare Petrum ante januam.

15 At illi dixerunt ad eam: Insanis. Illa autem affirmabat sic se habere. Illi autem dicebant: Angelus ejus est.

16 Petrus autem perseverabat pulsans. Cum autem aperuissent, viderunt eum, et obstupuerunt.

17 Annuens autem eis manu ut tacerent, narravit quomodo Dominus eduxisset eum de carcere, dixitque: Nuntiate Jacobo et fratribus hæc. Et egressus abiit in alium locum.

18 Facta autem die, erat non parva turbatio inter milites, quidnam factum esset de Petro.

19 Herodes autem cum requisisset eum et non invenisset, inquisitione facta de custodibus, jussit eos duci: descendensque a Judæa in Cæsaream, ibi commoratus est.

20 Erat autem iratus Tyriis et Sidoniis. At illi unanimes venerunt ad eum, et persuaso Blasto, qui erat super cubiculum regis, postulabant pacem, eo quod alerentur regiones eorum ab illo.

21 Statuto autem die Herodes vestitus veste regia sedit pro tribunali, et concionabatur ad eos.

22 Populus autem acclamabat: Dei voces, et non hominis.

23 Confestim autem percussit eum angelus Domini, eo quod non dedisset honorem Deo: et consumptus a vermibus, expiravit.

24 Verbum autem Domini crescebat, et multiplicabatur.

25 Barnabas autem et Saulus reversi sunt ab Jerosolymis expleto ministerio assumpto Joanne, qui cognominatus est Marcus.
