使徒行傳第12章

雅各被殺,彼得被囚

1那時,希律王下手苦害教會中幾個人,
2用刀殺了約翰的哥哥雅各。

3他見猶太人喜歡這事,又去捉拿彼得。那時正是除酵的日子。
4希律拿了彼得,收在監裡,交付四班兵丁看守,每班四個人,意思要在逾越節後把他提出來,當著百姓辦他。
5於是彼得被囚在監裡;教會卻為他切切地禱告 神。

彼得獲救出獄

6希律將要提他出來的前一夜,彼得被兩條鐵鍊鎖著,睡在兩個兵丁當中;看守的人也在門外看守。

7忽然,有主的一個使者站在旁邊,屋裡有光照耀,天使拍彼得的肋旁,拍醒了他,說:「快快起來!」那鐵鍊就從他手上脫落下來。

10過了第一層第二層監牢,就來到臨街的鐵門,那門自己開了。他們出來,走過一條街,天使便離開他去了。

11彼得醒悟過來,說:「我現在真知道主差遣他的使者,救我脫離希律的手和猶太百姓一切所盼望的。」
12想了一想,就往那稱呼馬可的約翰、他母親馬利亞家去,在那裡有好些人聚集禱告。

13彼得敲外門,有一個使女,名叫羅大,出來探聽,

14聽得是彼得的聲音,就歡喜的顧不得開門,跑進去告訴眾人說:「彼得站在門外。」
15他們說:「你是瘋了!」使女極力地說:「真是他!」他們說:「必是他的天使!」
16彼得不住地敲門。他們開了門,看見他,就甚驚奇。
17彼得擺手,不要他們作聲,就告訴他們主怎樣領他出監;又說:「你們把這事告訴雅各和眾弟兄。」於是出去,往別處去了。
18到了天亮,兵丁擾亂得很,不知道彼得往哪裡去了。
19希律找他,找不著,就審問看守的人,吩咐把他們拉去殺了。後來希律離開猶太,下凱撒利亞去,住在那裡。

希律的死

20希律惱怒泰爾、西頓的人。他們那一帶地方是從王的地土得糧,因此就託了王的內侍臣伯拉斯都的情,一心來求和。
21希律在所定的日子,穿上朝服,坐在位上,對他們講論一番。
22百姓喊著說:「這是 神的聲音,不是人的聲音。」

24 神的道日見興旺,越發廣傳。
25巴拿巴和掃羅辦完了他們供給的事,就從耶路撒冷回來,帶著稱呼馬可的約翰同去。
