Peter’s Arrest and Deliverance
1Kira-kira pada waktu itu raja Herodes mulai bertindak dengan keras terhadap beberapa orang dari jemaat. 2Ia menyuruh membunuh Yakobus, saudara Yohanes, dengan pedang. 3Ketika ia melihat, bahwa hal itu menyenangkan hati orang Yahudi, ia melanjutkan perbuatannya itu dan menyuruh menahan Petrus. Waktu itu hari raya Roti Tidak Beragi. 4Setelah Petrus ditangkap, Herodes menyuruh memenjarakannya di bawah penjagaan empat regu, masing-masing terdiri dari empat prajurit. Maksudnya ialah, supaya sehabis Paskah ia menghadapkannya ke depan orang banyak. 5Demikianlah Petrus ditahan di dalam penjara. Tetapi jemaat dengan tekun mendoakannya kepada Allah.
1Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church, to do them harm. 2And he had James the brother of John executed with a sword. 3When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter as well. (Now these were the days of Unleavened Bread.) 4When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, turning him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending only after the Passover to bring him before the people. 5So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made to God intensely by the church.
6Pada malam sebelum Herodes hendak menghadapkannya kepada orang banyak, Petrus tidur di antara dua orang prajurit, terbelenggu dengan dua rantai. Selain itu prajurit-prajurit pengawal sedang berkawal di muka pintu. 7Tiba-tiba berdirilah seorang malaikat Tuhan dekat Petrus dan cahaya bersinar dalam ruang itu. Malaikat itu menepuk Petrus untuk membangunkannya, katanya: "Bangunlah segera !" Maka gugurlah rantai itu dari tangan Petrus. 8Lalu kata malaikat itu kepadanya: "Ikatlah pinggangmu dan kenakanlah sepatumu !" Iapun berbuat demikian. Lalu malaikat itu berkata kepadanya: "Kenakanlah jubahmu dan ikutlah aku !" 9Lalu ia mengikuti malaikat itu ke luar dan ia tidak tahu, bahwa apa yang dilakukan malaikat itu sungguh-sungguh terjadi, sangkanya ia melihat suatu penglihatan. 10Setelah mereka melalui tempat kawal pertama dan tempat kawal kedua, sampailah mereka ke pintu gerbang besi yang menuju ke kota. Pintu itu terbuka dengan sendirinya bagi mereka. Sesudah tiba di luar, mereka berjalan sampai ke ujung jalan, dan tiba-tiba malaikat itu meninggalkan dia. 11Dan setelah sadar akan dirinya, Petrus berkata: "Sekarang tahulah aku benar-benar bahwa Tuhan telah menyuruh malaikat-Nya dan menyelamatkan aku dari tangan Herodes dan dari segala sesuatu yang diharapkan orang Yahudi." 12Dan setelah berpikir sebentar, pergilah ia ke rumah Maria, ibu Yohanes yang disebut juga Markus. Di situ banyak orang berkumpul dan berdoa. 13Dan ketika ia mengetuk pintu gerbang, datanglah seorang hamba perempuan bernama Rode untuk mengetahui siapa yang mengetuk itu. 14Ia terus mengenal suara Petrus, tetapi karena girangnya ia tidak membuka pintu gerbang itu dan segera masuk ke dalam untuk memberitahukan, bahwa Petrus ada di depan pintu gerbang. 15Kata mereka kepada perempuan itu: "Engkau mengigau." Akan tetapi ia tetap mengatakan, bahwa benar-benar demikian. Kata mereka: "Itu malaikatnya." 16Tetapi Petrus terus-menerus mengetuk dan ketika mereka membuka pintu dan melihat dia, mereka tercengang-cengang. 17Tetapi Petrus memberi isyarat dengan tangannya, supaya mereka diam, lalu ia menceriterakan bagaimana Tuhan menuntunnya ke luar dari penjara. Katanya: "Beritahukanlah hal ini kepada Yakobus dan saudara-saudara kita." Lalu ia keluar dan pergi ke tempat lain.
6On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison. 7And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near Peter, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And his chains fell off his hands. 8And the angel said to him, “Put on your belt and strap on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 9And he went out and continued to follow, and yet he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10Now when they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. 11When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.” 12And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying. 13When he knocked at the door of the gate, a slave woman named Rhoda came to answer. 14When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate. 15They said to her, “You are out of your mind!” But she kept insisting that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.” 16But Peter continued knocking; and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed. 17But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and the brothers.” Then he left and went to another place.
18Pada keesokan harinya gemparlah prajurit-prajurit itu. Mereka bertanya-tanya apakah yang telah terjadi dengan Petrus. 19Herodes menyuruh mencari Petrus, tetapi ia tidak ditemukan. Lalu Herodes menyuruh memeriksa pengawal-pengawal itu dan membunuh mereka. Kemudian ia berangkat dari Yudea ke Kaisarea dan tinggal di situ.
18Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter. 19When Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and was spending time there.
Death of Herod
20Herodes sangat marah terhadap orang Tirus dan Sidon. Atas persetujuan bersama mereka pergi menghadap dia. Mereka berhasil membujuk Blastus, pegawai istana raja, ke pihak mereka, lalu mereka memohonkan perdamaian, karena negeri mereka beroleh bahan makanan dari wilayah raja. 21Dan pada suatu hari yang ditentukan, Herodes mengenakan pakaian kerajaan, lalu duduk di atas takhta dan berpidato kepada mereka. 22Dan rakyatnya bersorak membalasnya: "Ini suara allah dan bukan suara manusia !" 23Dan seketika itu juga ia ditampar malaikat Tuhan karena ia tidak memberi hormat kepada Allah; ia mati dimakan cacing-cacing.
20Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and with one mind they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king’s chamberlain, they were asking for peace, because their country was supported with grain from the king’s country. 21On an appointed day, after putting on his royal apparel, Herod took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them. 22The people repeatedly cried out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24Maka firman Tuhan makin tersebar dan makin banyak didengar orang.
24But the word of the Lord continued to grow and to be multiplied.
25Barnabas dan Saulus kembali dari Yerusalem, setelah mereka menyelesaikan tugas pelayanan mereka. Mereka membawa Yohanes, yang disebut juga Markus.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned when they had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, taking along with them John, who was also called Mark.
