Acts 12:5 in Context — Acts 12
3 E vendo que isto agradava aos judeus, ele fez ainda mais, para também prender a Pedro (e eram os dias dos [pães] sem fermento).
4 Do qual, também detendo, lançou-o na prisão, entregando [-o] a quatro quaternos de soldados, que o guardassem; pretendendo tirá-lo [para mostrá-lo] ao povo depois da Páscoa.
5 Então Pedro era mantido na prisão; mas a igreja fazia fervorosa oração a Deus por ele.
6 E quando Herodes estava para tirá-lo [para apresentá-lo] ,naquela mesma noite Pedro estava dormindo entre dois soldados, acorrentado com duas correntes; e os guardas diante da porta guardavam a prisão.
7 E eis que veio acima um anjo do Senhor, e uma luz brilhou na prisão; e tocando em Pedro em sua lateral, despertou-o, dizendo; Levanta-te, depressa!E as correntes caíram de suas mãos.
