Atos 12

Almeida Atualizada (Portuguese) AA

1 Por aquele mesmo tempo o rei Herodes estendeu as mãos sobre alguns da igreja, para os maltratar;

2 e matou � espada Tiago, irmão de João.

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.

8 Disse-lhe ainda o anjo: Cinge-te e calça as tuas sandálias. E ele o fez. Disse-lhe mais; Cobre-te com a tua capa e segue-me.

9 Pedro, saindo, o seguia, mesmo sem compreender que era real o que se fazia por intermédio de um anjo, julgando que era uma visão.

10 Depois de terem passado a primeira e a segunda sentinela, chegaram � porta de ferro, que dá para a cidade, a qual se lhes abriu por si mesma; e tendo saído, passaram uma rua, e logo o anjo se apartou dele.

11 Pedro então, tornando a si, disse: Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo, e me livrou da mão de Herodes e de toda a expectativa do povo dos judeus.

12 Depois de assim refletir foi � casa de Maria, mãe de João, que tem por sobrenome Marcos, onde muitas pessoas estavam reunidas e oravam.

13 Quando ele bateu ao portão do pátio, uma criada chamada Rode saiu a escutar;

14 e, reconhecendo a voz de Pedro, de gozo não abriu o portão, mas, correndo para dentro, anunciou que Pedro estava lá fora.

15 Eles lhe disseram: Estás louca. Ela, porém, assegurava que assim era. Eles então diziam: É o seu anjo.

16 Mas Pedro continuava a bater, e, quando abriram, viram-no e pasmaram.

17 Mas ele, acenando-lhes com a mão para que se calassem, contou-lhes como o Senhor o tirara da prisão, e disse: Anunciai isto a Tiago e aos irmãos. E, saindo, partiu para outro lugar.

18 Logo que amanheceu, houve grande alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que teria sido feito de Pedro.

19 E Herodes, tendo-o procurado e não o achando, inquiriu as sentinelas e mandou que fossem justiçadas; e descendo da Judéia para Cesaréia, demorou-se ali.

20 Ora, Herodes estava muito irritado contra os de Tiro e de Sidom; mas estes, vindo de comum acordo ter com ele e obtendo a amizade de Blasto, camareiro do rei, pediam paz, porquanto o seu país se abastecia do país do rei.

21 num dia designado, Herodes, vestido de trajes reais, sentou- se no trono e dirigia-lhes a palavra.

22 E o povo exclamava: É a voz de um deus, e não de um homem.

23 No mesmo instante o anjo do Senhor o feriu, porque não deu glória a Deus; e, comido de vermes, expirou.

24 E a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.

25 Barnabé e Saulo, havendo terminando aquele serviço, voltaram de Jerusalém, levando consigo a João, que tem por sobrenome Marcos.

New International Version NIV

1 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.

2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.

3 When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread.

4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.

5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.

7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.

8 Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him.

9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.

10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.

11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”

12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.

13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.

14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”

15 “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”

16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.

17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.

18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.

20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king’s country for their food supply.

21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people.

22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.”

23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

24 But the word of God continued to spread and flourish.

25 When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.
