¹⁹ And Herod, when he sent for him, and he was not there, after questioning the watchmen, gave orders that they were to be put to death. Then he went down from Judaea to Caesarea for a time.

²⁷ And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.

⁴² Then the armed men were for putting the prisoners to death, so that no one would get away by swimming.

¹³ Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

⁸ And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven.

⁶ And when Herod was about to take him out, the same night Peter was sleeping in chains between two armed men, and the watchmen were keeping watch before the door of the prison.

⁴ And having taken him, he put him in prison, with four bands of armed men to keep watch over him; his purpose being to take him out to the people after the Passover.

⁴⁰ But Philip came to Azotus, and went through all the towns, preaching the good news, till he came to Caesarea.

¹⁰ Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

¹¹ For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

¹¹ Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

¹² And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,

¹³ Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.

¹⁴ And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

¹³ And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

¹¹ The king's request is a very hard one, and there is no other who is able to make it clear to the king, but the gods, whose living-place is not with flesh.

¹² Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.

¹³ So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.

²⁶ And the king gave orders to Jerahmeel, the king's son, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord kept them safe.

³² The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

³³ The Lord will not give him into their hands, or be against him when he is judged.

¹² And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.

⁴³ Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.

¹⁴ And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.
