On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial
This phrase sets the scene during the reign of Herod Agrippa I, a ruler known for his persecution of the early church. The timing is significant, as it was the night before Peter's trial, indicating the urgency and gravity of the situation. Herod's intent to bring Peter to trial reflects the political and religious tensions of the time, as Herod sought to appease Jewish leaders by persecuting Christians. This echoes the trials of Jesus and other apostles, highlighting the ongoing conflict between the early church and Jewish authorities.

Peter was sleeping between two soldiers
Peter's ability to sleep in such dire circumstances demonstrates his faith and trust in God. The presence of two soldiers indicates the high level of security, as Peter was considered a significant threat due to his leadership role in the church. This situation parallels the peace Jesus exhibited during the storm (Mark 4:38), showing a deep trust in God's sovereignty.

bound with two chains
The use of two chains emphasizes the extreme measures taken to ensure Peter's captivity, reflecting the seriousness with which Herod viewed the threat of the Christian movement. Chains in the Bible often symbolize bondage and oppression, yet they also set the stage for divine intervention, as seen in other instances where God delivers His people from seemingly impossible situations (e.g., Paul and Silas inActs 16:25-26).

with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison
The presence of sentries highlights the Roman practice of ensuring maximum security for prisoners, especially those considered high-risk. This detail underscores the human efforts to control and suppress the spread of the Gospel, which are ultimately futile against God's plans. The guards' role also sets the stage for the miraculous nature of Peter's impending escape, demonstrating God's power over human authority and obstacles.

Peace Amidst Trials
Peter's peace serves as a model for Christians to maintain faith and calmness in the face of trials, trusting in God's ultimate plan.

Witness Through Suffering

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Acts 12

Is there any historical or archaeological evidence outside the Bible to confirm Peter's miraculous prison escape in Acts 12?

What are the key events in the Book of Acts?

Acts 5:17–19: Is there any archaeological or historical record outside the Bible confirming an angelic prison escape in Jerusalem?

Does the profound hopelessness expressed in Job 17 contradict other scriptures that promise divine deliverance for the faithful?(6)Peter was sleeping between two soldiers.--The picture of the calm repose of the Apostle as of one to whom God had given the sleep of His beloved (Psalm 127:2), undisturbed by the fear of coming suffering and death, will be felt by most readers to be one of singular interest.

Verse 6. - Wasabout to bring forwould have brought, A.V.;guards forthe keepers, A.V. What a picture we have here! The dungeon; the double chain fastening the prisoner to two soldiers; the other two soldiers of the quaternion keeping watch at the first and second ward, or station; the iron gate securely fastened; the population of the great city expecting with the morning light to be gratified with the blood of the victim of their bigotry; the king having made his arrangements for the imposing spectacle which was to ingratiate him with his people and obtain the applause he so dearly loved; and then the servant of Jesus Christ sleeping calmly under the shadow of God's wings; and, a little way off, the Church keeping her solemn watch and pouring forth her intensest prayers through the silence of the night! And the issue, the triumph of the few and the weak over all the power of the many and the strong.
