Act 12:1Eōdem autem tempore mīsit Hērōdēs rēx manūs, ut afflīgeret quōsdam dē ecclēsiā.And at the same time Herod the king sent out his hands, to afflict some from the church. Act 12:2Occīdit autem Jacōbum frātrem Jōannis gladiō.And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. Act 12:3Vidēns autem quia placēret Jūdaeīs, apposuit ut apprehenderet et Petrum.And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he went on to seize Peter too. Act 12:3Erant autem diēs Azymōrum.And they were the days of the Unleavened Bread. Act 12:4Quem cum apprehendisset, mīsit in carcerem, trādēns quatuor quaterniōnibus mīlitum custōdiendum, volēns post Pascha prōdūcere eum populō.And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four groups of four soldiers to be guarded, wanting after the Passover to bring him out to the people. Act 12:5Et Petrus quidem servābātur in carcere.And Peter indeed was being kept in prison. Act 12:5Ōrātiō autem fīēbat sine intermissiōne ab ecclēsiā ad Deum prō eō.But prayer was being made without ceasing by the church to God for him. Act 12:6Cum autem prōductūrus eum esset Hērōdēs, in ipsā nocte erat Petrus dormiēns inter duōs mīlitēs, vinctus catēnīs duābus: et custōdēs ante ōstium custōdiēbant carcerem.But when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door were guarding the prison.
Act 12:7Et ecce angelus Dominī astitit, et lūmen refulsit in habitāculō: percussōque latere Petrī, excitāvit eum, dīcēns: Surge vēlōciter.And look, an angel of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the dwelling: and Peter's side having been struck, he woke him, saying: "Rise quickly." Act 12:7Et cecidērunt catēnae dē manibus ejus.And the chains fell from his hands. Act 12:8Dīxit autem angelus ad eum: Praecingere, et calceā tē caligās tuās.And the angel said to him: "Gird yourself, and put on your sandals." Act 12:8Et fēcit sīc.And he did so. Act 12:8Et dīxit illī: Circumdā tibi vestīmentum tuum, et Sequere mē.And he said to him: "Wrap your garment around you, and follow me." Act 12:9Et exiēns sequēbātur eum, et nesciēbat quia vērum est, quod fīēbat per angelum: exīstimābat autem sē vīsum vidēre.And going out he was following him, and did not know that what was being done through the angel was true: but he was supposing that he was seeing a vision. Act 12:10Trānseuntēs autem prīmam et secundam custōdiam, vēnērunt ad portam ferream, quae dūcit ad cīvitātem: quae ultrō aperta est eīs.And passing the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate, which leads into the city: which was opened to them of its own accord.
Act 12:10Et exeuntēs prōcessērunt vīcum ūnum: et continuō discessit angelus ab eō.And going out they went forward one street: and straightaway the angel departed from him. Act 12:11Et Petrus ad sē reversus, dīxit: Nunc sciō vērē quia mīsit Dominus angelum suum, et ēripuit mē dē manū Hērōdis, et dē omnī exspectātiōne plēbis Jūdaeōrum.And Peter, coming back to himself, said: "Now I know truly that the Lord has sent his angel, and snatched me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews." Act 12:12Cōnsīderānsque vēnit ad domum Marīae mātris Jōannis, quī cognōminātus est Mārcus, ubi erant multī congregātī, et ōrantēs.And considering it he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered, and praying. Act 12:13Pulsante autem eō ōstium jānuae, prōcessit puella ad audiendum, nōmine Rhodē.And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a girl came forward to listen, by name Rhoda. Act 12:14Et ut cognōvit vōcem Petrī, prae gaudiō nōn aperuit jānuam, sed intrō currēns nūntiāvit stāre Petrum ante jānuam.And as she recognized the voice of Peter, for joy she did not open the gate, but running inside she announced that Peter was standing before the gate.
Act 12:15At illī dīxērunt ad eam: Īnsānīs.But they said to her: "You are mad." Act 12:15Illa autem affirmābat sīc sē habēre.But she was affirming that it was so. Act 12:15Illī autem dīcēbant: Angelus ejus est.But they were saying: "It is his angel." Act 12:16Petrus autem persevērābat pulsāns.But Peter was persisting in knocking. Act 12:16Cum autem aperuissent, vīdērunt eum, et obstupuērunt.And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astounded. Act 12:17Annuēns autem eīs manū ut tacērent, narrāvit quōmodo Dominus ēdūxisset eum dē carcere, dīxitque: Nūntiāte Jacōbō et frātribus haec.But beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, he related how the Lord had led him out of the prison, and said: "Report these things to James and to the brothers." Act 12:17Et ēgressus abiit in alium locum.And having gone out he went away to another place. Act 12:18Factā autem diē, erat nōn parva turbātiō inter mīlitēs, quidnam factum esset dē Petrō.And when day had come, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what ever had become of Peter. Act 12:19Hērōdēs autem cum requīsīsset eum et nōn invēnisset, inquīsītiōne factā dē custōdibus, jussit eōs dūcī: dēscendēnsque ā Jūdaeā in Caesarēam, ibi commorātus est.And Herod, when he had searched for him and had not found him, an inquiry having been made of the guards, ordered them to be led away: and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he stayed there.
Act 12:20Erat autem īrātus Tyriīs et Sīdōniīs.Now he was angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians. Act 12:20At illī ūnanimēs vēnērunt ad eum, et persuāsō Blastō, quī erat super cubiculum rēgis, postulābant pācem, eō quod alerentur regiōnēs eōrum ab illō.But they came with one mind to him, and, Blastus having been persuaded, who was over the king's bedchamber, they were asking for peace, because their regions were fed by him. Act 12:21Statūtō autem diē Hērōdēs vestītus veste rēgiā sēdit prō tribūnālī, et cōnciōnābātur ad eōs.And on an appointed day Herod, clothed in royal clothing, sat on the tribunal, and was making a speech to them. Act 12:22Populus autem acclāmābat: Deī vōcēs, et nōn hominis.And the people were shouting: "The voices of a god, and not of a man." Act 12:23Cōnfestim autem percussit eum angelus Dominī, eō quod nōn dedisset honōrem Deō: et cōnsūmptus ā vermibus, expīrāvit.But at once an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and eaten away by worms, he breathed his last. Act 12:24Verbum autem Dominī crēscēbat, et multiplicābātur.But the word of the Lord was growing, and being multiplied.
Act 12:25Barnabas autem et Saulus reversī sunt ab Jerosolymīs explētō ministeriō assūmptō Jōanne, quī cognōminātus est Mārcus.And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, their ministry having been completed, John having been taken with them, who was surnamed Mark.
