And he went forth to Tarsus to seek for Saul;

Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judea:

Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.

And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.
