1 A Miraculous Escape While the Good News of the Gospel was being preached, persecution was growing against the young Church in Jerusalem. King Herod arrested James, the brother of John, and had him killed. (Acts 12:1-2) Then he had Peter arrested and thrown him into prison, intending to also kill him. However, because it was at the time of the Passover Feast, Peter was to be kept overnight in prison. (Acts 12:3 5) The brethren prayed earnestly and continually for dear Peter, asking God to deliver him, and God mightily answered their prayers. While Peter was sleeping, chained between two soldiers, an angel came and freeing him lead him out of the prison, without the guards even noticing. (Acts 12:6 11) What an amazing miracle! You can read this exciting story and what happens to King Herod in Acts chapter 12.
