1-2 Ke kaloku, ngelo xesha uHerode ukumkani wabesa izandla abathile balo ibandla, ukuba abaphathe kakubi; wambulala ke uYakobi, umzalwana kaYohane, ngekrele.
3 Wathi, akubona ukuba oko kuwakholisile amaYuda, waqokela ngokubamba noPetros (yaye ke iyimihla yezonka ezingenagwele leyo).
4 Akuba ke embambile, wamfaka entolongweni, wamnikela kumaqela amané amasoldati angamané, ukuba amgcine; engxamele ukuze emveni kwepasika* amkhuphe, amse ebantwini.
5 Wagcinwa ngoko okunene uPetros entolongweni; ke kwathandazwa libandla ngenyameko kuThixo ngenxa yakhe.
6 Xa ke uHerode wayeza kumkhupha, uPetros ngobo busuku wayelele phakathi kwamasoldati amabini, ekhonkxiwe ngemixokelelwane emibini; baye nabalindi beyigcinile intolongo phambi kwesango.
