Acts 12:2

1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth 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 in prison, and delivered to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
