2 et il fit mourir par l’épée Jacques, frère de Jean.
3 Voyant que cela était agréable aux Juifs, il fit encore arrêter Pierre. C’était pendant les jours des pains sans levain.
4 Après l’avoir saisi et jeté en prison, il le mit sous la garde de quatre escouades de quatre soldats chacune, avec l’intention de le faire comparaître devant le peuple après la Pâque.
5 Pierre donc était gardé dans la prison; et l’Église ne cessait d’adresser pour lui des prières à Dieu.
6 La nuit qui précéda le jour où Hérode allait le faire comparaître, Pierre, lié de deux chaînes, dormait entre deux soldats; et des sentinelles devant la porte gardaient la prison.
