Then Peter realized what had happened. He said,“ Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent his angel. He set me free from Herod’s power. He saved me from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”

彼得心裏明白過來，說：『如今我真地知道主差遣他的天使出來，救拔我脫離希律的手和猶太民眾所期待的一切事。』

這時候，彼得清醒過來，說：「現在我確實知道主派了他的天使來，救我脫離希律的手和猶太民眾所期待的一切事。」

彼得乃悟曰、今我真知主遣其使、拯我脫希律手、與猶太民所冀者也、

Then Peter came to himself and said,“ Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”

When Peter came to himself, he said,“ Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”

Peter finally came to his senses.“ It’s really true!” he said.“ The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do to me!”

When Peter came to himself, he said,“ Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.”

When 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.”

And when Peter had come to himself, he said,“ Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.”

And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

Then Peter came to himself and said,“ Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.”

Then Nebuchadnezzar said,“ May the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be praised! He has sent his angel and saved his servants. They trusted in him. They refused to obey my command. They were willing to give up their lives. They would rather die than serve or worship any god except their own God.

But the Lord looks with favor on those who respect him. He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.

Since all this is true, then the Lord knows how to save godly people. He knows how to keep them safe in times of testing. The Lord also knows how to keep ungodly people under guard. He will do so until the day they will be judged and punished.

The angel of the Lord stands guard around those who have respect for him. And he saves them.

He stands ready to help those who need it. He saves them from those who are ready to sentence them to death.

The king said,“ Look! I see four men walking around in the fire. They aren’t tied up. And the fire hasn’t even harmed them. The fourth man looks like a son of the gods.”

David sang the words of this song to the Lord. He sang them when the Lord saved him from the power of all his enemies and of Saul.

Then the Lord said to Abraham,“ Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say,‘ Will I really have a baby, now that I am old?’

Then the Lord said to him,“ You can be sure of what I am about to tell you. For 400 years, your family who comes after you will be strangers in another country. They will become slaves there and will be treated badly.

The Lord guards them and keeps them alive. They are counted among those who are blessed in the land. The Lord won’t hand them over to the wishes of their enemies.

But during the night an angel of the Lord came. He opened the doors of the jail and brought the apostles out.

The next morning some Jews gathered secretly to make plans against Paul. They made a promise to themselves. They promised that they would not eat or drink anything until they killed him.More than 40 men took part in this plan.They went to the chief priests and the elders. They said,“ We have made a special promise to God. We will not eat anything until we have killed Paul.Now then, you and the Sanhedrin must make an appeal to the commanding officer. Ask him to bring Paul to you. Pretend you want more facts about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”But Paul’s nephew heard about this plan. So he went into the fort and told Paul.Then Paul called one of the commanders. He said to him,“ Take this young man to the commanding officer. He has something to tell him.”So the commander took Paul’s nephew to the officer. The commander said,“ Paul, the prisoner, sent for me. He asked me to bring this young man to you. The young man has something to tell you.”The commanding officer took the young man by the hand. He spoke to him in private.“ What do you want to tell me?” the officer asked.He said,“ Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow. They will pretend they want more facts about him.Don’t give in to them. More than 40 of them are waiting in hiding to attack him. They have promised that they will not eat or drink anything until they have killed him. They are ready now. All they need is for you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin.”The commanding officer let the young man go. But he gave him a warning.“ Don’t tell anyone you have reported this to me,” he said.Then the commanding officer called for two of his commanders. He ordered them,“ Gather a company of 200 soldiers, 70 horsemen and 200 men armed with spears. Get them ready to go to Caesarea at nine o’clock tonight.Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”Here is the letter the officer wrote.I, Claudius Lysias, am writing this letter. I am sending it to His Excellency, Governor Felix. Greetings.The Jews grabbed Paul. They were about to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and saved him. I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.I wanted to know why they were bringing charges against him. So I brought him to their Sanhedrin.I found out that the charge against him was based on questions about their law. But there was no charge against him worthy of death or prison.Then I was told about a plan against the man. So I sent him to you at once. I also ordered those bringing charges against him to present their case to you.

So Abimelek sent for Isaac. He said,“ She’s really your wife, isn’t she? Why did you say she was your sister?” Isaac answered him,“ I thought I might lose my life because of her.”

Two years passed. Porcius Festus took the place of Felix. But Felix wanted to do the Jews a favor. So he left Paul in prison.

Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the hard times we had in Asia Minor. We were having a lot of trouble. It was far more than we could stand. We even thought we were going to die.In fact, we felt as if we were under the sentence of death. But that happened so that we would not depend on ourselves but on God. He raises the dead to life.God has saved us from deadly dangers. And he will continue to do it. We have put our hope in him. He will continue to save us.

They tried very hard to get Festus to have Paul taken to Jerusalem. They asked for this as a favor. They were planning to hide and attack Paul along the way. They wanted to kill him.Festus answered,“ Paul is being held at Caesarea. Soon I’ll be going there myself.Let some of your leaders come with me. If the man has done anything wrong, they can bring charges against him there.”

But Festus wanted to do the Jews a favor. So he said to Paul,“ Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem? Are you willing to go on trial there? Are you willing to face these charges in my court?”
