Acts 12:3-5

The Voice

³ This move pleased Jewish public opinion, so he decided to arrest Peter also. During the holy festival of Unleavened Bread, ⁴ he caught Peter and imprisoned him, assigning four squads of soldiers to guard him. He planned to bring him to trial publicly after the Passover holiday.

⁵ During Peter’s imprisonment, the church prayed constantly and intensely to God for his safety.
