ESV

1	About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church.
2	He killed James the brother of John with the sword,
3	and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.
4	And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him over to four squads 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 prayer for him was made to God by the church.
6	Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison.
7	And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands.
8	And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
9	And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
10	When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him.
11	When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”
12	When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13	And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14	Recognizing Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate.
15	They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is his angel!”
16	But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed.
17	But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.
18	Now when day came, there was no little disturbance among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.
19	And after Herod searched for him and did not find him, he examined the sentries and ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.
20	Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
21	On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them.
22	And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
23	Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
24	But the word of God increased and multiplied.
25	And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them John, whose other name was Mark.

NIV

1	It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.
2	He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
3	When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
4	After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.
5	So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
6	The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.
7	Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
8	Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him.
9	Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.
10	They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
11	Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
12	When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.
13	Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door.
14	When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”
15	“You're out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
16	But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.
17	Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James and the brothers about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.
18	In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
19	After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed.
20	Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while. He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. Having secured the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply.
21	On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people.
22	They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.”
23	Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24	But the word of God continued to increase and spread.
25	When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.

NLT

1	About that time King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church.
2	He had the apostle James (John's brother) killed with a sword.
3	When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter. (This took place during the Passover celebration.)
4	Then he imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover.
5	But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.
6	The night before Peter was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate.
7	Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, “Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists.
8	Then the angel told him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” And he did. “Now put on your coat and follow me,” the angel ordered.
9	So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn't realize it was actually happening.
10	They passed the first and second guard posts and came to the iron gate leading to the city, and this opened for them all by itself. So they passed through and started walking down the street, and then the angel suddenly left him.
11	Peter finally came to his senses. “It's really true!” he said. “The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do to me!”
12	When he realized this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered for prayer.
13	He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it.
14	When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and told everyone, “Peter is standing at the door!”
15	“You're out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel.”
16	Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking. When they finally opened the door and saw him, they were amazed.
17	He motioned for them to quiet down and told them how the Lord had led him out of prison. “Tell James and the other brothers what happened,” he said. And then he went to another place.
18	At dawn there was a great commotion among the soldiers about what had happened to Peter.
19	Herod Agrippa ordered a thorough search for him. When he couldn't be found, Herod interrogated the guards and sentenced them to death. Afterward Herod left Judea to stay in Caesarea for a while.
20	Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they sent a delegation to make peace with him because their cities were dependent upon Herod's country for food. The delegates won the support of Blastus, Herod's personal assistant,
21	and an appointment with Herod was granted. When the day arrived, Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and made a speech to them.
22	The people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It's the voice of a god, not of a man!”
23	Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people's worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.
24	Meanwhile, the word of God continued to spread, and there were many new believers.
25	When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, taking John Mark with them.

KJV

1	Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2	And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3	And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4	And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5	Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6	And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7	And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8	And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9	And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10	When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11	And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12	And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13	And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14	And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15	And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16	But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
17	But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18	Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19	And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
20	And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
21	And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22	And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23	And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24	But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25	And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
