Εξ ῆλθε δὲ εἰς Ταρσὸν ὁ Βαρνάβας ἀναζητῆσαι Σαῦλον, καὶ 26 εὑρὼν αὐτὸν ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Αντιόχειαν. ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐνιαυτὸν ὅλον συναχθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, καὶ διδάξαι ὄχλον ἱκανὸν, χρηματίσαι τε πρῶτον ἐν ̓Αντιοχείᾳ τοὺς 27 μαθητὰς Χριστιανούς.

For he was a good man, and *full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: Yand much x ch. 6. 5. 25 people was added unto the Lord. Then departed ch. 5. 14. 26 Barnabas to z Tarsus, for to seek Saul: and when he z ch. 9. 30. had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in An27 tioch. ¶And in these days came a prophets from Je-a ch. 2. 17. 28 rusalem unto Antioch. And there stood up one of & 15. 32. them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: b which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar. 29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which c Rom. 15. 30 dwelt in Judæa: dwhich also they did, and sent it to 1. 2 Cor. 9. 1. the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. b & 13. 1. & 21.9. 1 I Cor. 12. 28. ch. 21. 10.

And he killed James athe brother of John with the sword. a Matt. 4. 21. 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of b Ex. 12. 14, 4 unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended c John 21. 18 him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after 5 Easter to bring him forth to the people. 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 7 the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of d ch. 5. 19. 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 8 fell off from his hands. 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 1 Or, in the church. 2 Or, began. 3 Or, instant and earnest prayer was made. 2 Cor. 1. 11. Eph. 6. 18. 1 Thess. 5. 17. δὲ οὕτω. καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, Περιβαλοῦ τὸ ἱμάτιον σου, καὶ 9 ἀκολούθει μοι. καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ· καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι ἀληθές ἐστι τὸ γινόμενον διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου, ἐδόκει δὲ το ὅραμα βλέπειν. διελθόντες δὲ πρώτην φυλακὴν καὶ δευτέ ραν, ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τὴν σιδηρᾶν, τὴν φέρουσαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἥτις αὐτομάτη ἠνοίχθη αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐξελθόντες προῆλθον ῥύμην μίαν, καὶ εὐθέως ἀπέστη ὁ ἄγγελος ἀπ' κι αὐτοῦ. καὶ ὁ Πέτρος γενόμενος ἐν ἑαυτῷ, εἶπε, Νῦν οἶδα ἀληθῶς ὅτι ἐξαπέστειλε Κύριος τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξείλετό με ἐκ χειρὸς Ηρώδου καὶ πάσης τῆς προσδοκίας 12 τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων. συνιδών τε ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν Μαρίας τῆς μητρὸς Ἰωάννου τοῦ ἐπικαλουμένου Μάρκου, οὗ ἦσαν ἱκανοὶ συνηθροισμένοι καὶ προσευχό 13 μενοι. Κρούσαντος δὲ τοῦ Πέτρου τὴν θύραν τοῦ πυλῶνος, 14 προσῆλθε παιδίσκη ὑπακοῦσαι, ὀνόματι Ρόδη· καὶ ἐπιγνοῦσα τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ Πέτρου, ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς οὐκ ἤνοιξε τὸν πυλῶνα, εἰσδραμοῦσα δὲ ἀπήγγειλεν ἑστᾶναι 15 τὸν Πέτρον πρὸ τοῦ πυλῶνος. οἱ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπον, Μαίνῃ. ἡ δὲ διισχυρίζετο οὕτως ἔχειν. οἱ δὲ ἔλεγον, 16 Ὁ ἄγγελος αὐτοῦ ἐστιν. ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἐπέμενε κρούων τῇ ἀνοίξαντες δὲ εἶδον αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐξέστησαν. κατασείσας δὲ αὐτοῖς τῇ χειρὶ σιγᾷν, διηγήσατο αὐτοῖς πῶς ὁ Κύριος αὐτὸν ἐξήγαγεν ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς. εἶπε δὲ, ̓Απαγγείλατε Ἰακώβῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ταῦτα. καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐπορεύθη 18 εἰς ἕτερον τόπον. Γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας, ἣν τάραχος οὐκ ὀλίγος ἐν τοῖς στρατιώταις, τί ἄρα ὁ Πέτρος ἐγένετο. 19 Ἡρώδης δὲ ἐπιζητήσας αὐτὸν καὶ μὴ εὑρὼν, ἀνακρίνας τοὺς φύλακας, ἐκέλευσεν ἀπαχθῆναι· καὶ κατελθὼν ἀπὸ 2ο τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν Καισάρειαν διέτριβεν. Ἦν δὲ ὁ Ἡρώδης θυμομαχῶν Τυρίοις καὶ Σιδωνίοις· ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ παρῆσαν πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ πείσαντες Βλάστον τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ 9 αὐτῷ om. D. 11 ἐξείλατό Α. 13 Κρούσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ τὴν Α. 16 πέτρος om.

When fch. 10. 3, they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; swhich opened to them of his own accord: and they g ch. 16. 26. went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath h Ps. 34. 7. delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all & 6. 22. 12 the expectation of the people of the Jews. And when i Job 5. 19. he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; & 41. 2. where many were gathered together m praying.

And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, ak ch. 4. 23. 14 damsel came 1to hearken, named Rhoda. And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before 15 the gate. And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then 16 said they, It is his angel. But Peter continued n Gen. 48.16. knocking: and when they had opened the door, and 17 saw him, they were astonished. But he, beckoning o ch. 13. 16. unto them with the hand to hold their declared & 21. 40. 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 18 went into another place. Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was 19 become of Peter. 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 Judæa to Cæsarea, and 20 there abode. ¶And Herod 2 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; be 1 Or, to ask who was there. 2 Or, bare an hostile mind, intending 3 Gr. that was over the king's bedchamber. war. 21 κοιτῶνος τοῦ βασιλέως, ᾐτοῦντο εἰρήνην, διὰ τὸ τρέφεσθαι αὐτῶν τὴν χώραν ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλικής.
