Acts 12:6

On that very night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, ¹  Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while ²  guards in front of the door were keeping watch ³  over the prison.

Ge 22:14; De 32:26; 1Sa 23:26,27; Ps 3:5,6; Ps 4:8; Isa 26:3,4; Jer 40:4; Mt 28:4; Ac 5:23; Ac 21:33; Ac 28:20; Eph 6:20; Php 4:6,7; 2Ti 1:16; Heb 13:6

¹ tn Grk “was going to bring him out,” but the upcoming trial is implied. See Acts 12:4.

² tn Grk “two chains, and.” Logically it makes better sense to translate this as a temporal clause, although technically it is a coordinate clause in Greek.

³ tn Or “were guarding.”
