1 At that time Herod the king laid his hands on some of those of the assembly to do them hurt,
2 and slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread:)
4 whom having seized he put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep, purposing after the passover to bring him out to the people.
