Atos 12:5 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 12:5

Peter therefore was kept in prison
Till the feast of the passover was at an end:

but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him;
this was not done by them as a body together, but either by them in several bands at different places, or by some of the principal of the church at some one certain place, and where they might frequently change companies, and keep on a continual incessant prayer for days together; and whereas it is very likely it might be at the beginning of the passover, when Peter was taken up, and it was now at the close of it, when he was delivered, the church might be engaged by companies alternately, a whole week together, in prayer, on this occasion.

Atos 12:5 In-Context

3 Vendo que isso agradava aos judeus, continuou, mandando prender também a Pedro. (Eram então os dias dos pães ázimos.)
4 E, havendo-o prendido, lançou-o na prisão, entregando-o a quatro grupos de quatro soldados cada um para o guardarem, tencionando apresentá-lo ao povo depois da páscoa.
5 Pedro, pois, estava guardado na prisão; mas a igreja orava com insistência a Deus por ele.
6 Ora quando Herodes estava para apresentá-lo, nessa mesma noite estava Pedro dormindo entre dois soldados, acorrentado com duas cadeias e as sentinelas diante da porta guardavam a prisão.
7 E eis que sobreveio um anjo do Senhor, e uma luz resplandeceu na prisão; e ele, tocando no lado de Pedro, o despertou, dizendo: Levanta-te depressa. E caíram-lhe das mãos as cadeias.
