Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
