He gives children to the woman who doesn’t have any children. He makes her a happy mother in her own home. Praise the Lord.

Others lived in the deepest darkness. They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.

He brought them out of the deepest darkness. He broke their chains off.

He stands up for those who are treated badly. He gives food to hungry people. The Lord sets prisoners free.

The Spirit of the Lord and King is on me. The Lord has anointed me to announce good news to poor people. He has sent me to comfort those whose hearts have been broken. He has sent me to announce freedom for those who have been captured. He wants me to set prisoners free from their dark cells.

He turned land that produced crops into a salty land where nothing could grow. He did it because the people who lived there were evil.

Those who used to be full have to work for food. But those who used to be hungry aren’t hungry anymore. The woman who couldn’t have children has seven of them now. But the woman who has had many children is sad now because hers have died.

It is written,“ Be glad, woman, you who have never had children. Shout for joy and cry out loud, you who have never had labor pains. The woman who is all alone has more children than the woman who has a husband.”( Isaiah 54:1)

It was the night before Herod was going to bring him to trial. Peter was sleeping between two soldiers. Two chains held him there. Lookouts stood guard at the entrance.Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared. A light shone in the prison cell. The angel struck Peter on his side. Peter woke up.“ Quick!” the angel said.“ Get up!” The chains fell off Peter’s wrists.Then the angel said to him,“ Put on your clothes and sandals.” Peter did so.“ Put on your coat,” the angel told him.“ Follow me.”Peter followed him out of the prison. But he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. He thought he was seeing a vision.They passed the first and second guards. Then they came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself. They went through it. They walked the length of one street. Suddenly the angel left Peter.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.”When Peter understood what had happened, he went to Mary’s house. Mary was the mother of John Mark. Many people had gathered in her home. They were praying there.Peter knocked at the outer entrance. A servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.She recognized Peter’s voice. She was so excited that she ran back without opening the door.“ Peter is at the door!” she exclaimed.“ You’re out of your mind,” they said to her. But she kept telling them it was true. So they said,“ It must be his angel.”Peter kept on knocking. When they opened the door and saw him, they were amazed.Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet. He explained how the Lord had brought him out of prison.“ Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this,” he said. Then he went to another place.In the morning the soldiers were bewildered. They couldn’t figure out what had happened to Peter.So Herod had them look everywhere for Peter. But they didn’t find him. Then Herod questioned the guards closely. He ordered that they be put to death. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they got together and asked for a meeting with him. This was because they depended on the king’s country to supply them with food. They gained the support of Blastus and then asked for peace. Blastus was a trusted personal servant of the king.The appointed day came. Herod was seated on his throne. He was wearing his royal robes. He made a speech to the people.Then they shouted,“ This is the voice of a god. It’s not the voice of a man.”Right away an angel of the Lord struck Herod down. Herod had not given praise to God. So he was eaten by worms and died.But God’s word continued to spread and many people believed the message.Barnabas and Saul finished their task. Then they returned from Jerusalem. They took John Mark with them.

Suddenly there was a powerful earthquake. It shook the prison from top to bottom. All at once the prison doors flew open. Everyone’s chains came loose.

instead of Esau. I have turned Esau’s hill country into a dry and empty land. I left that land of Edom to the wild dogs in the desert.”
