James Killed and Peter Imprisoned

1 About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church.
2 He killed 1James the brother of John 2with the sword,
3 and when he saw 3that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during 4the days of Unleavened Bread.
4 And when he had seized him, he put him 5in prison, delivering him over to four 6squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest 7prayer for him was made to God by the church.
