1. And about that time Herodes the sovereign put forth his hands to do evil to some from the assembly.
2. And he killed Ya‛aqoḇ the brother of Yoḥanan with the sword.
3. And seeing that it was pleasing to the Yehuḏim, he proceeded further to arrest Kĕpha as well – and they were the Days of Unleavened Bread.
4. So when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to watch over him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.
5. So Kĕpha was indeed kept in prison, but prayer was earnestly made to Elohim on his behalf by the assembly.
6. And when Herodes was about to bring him out, that night Kĕpha was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers. And the guards before the door were keeping the prison.
