A few days earlier, King Herod had James, the brother of John, executed by the sword. When Herod saw that this pleased the religious leaders, he arranged to have Peter placed into prison, with the intent to have Peter executed after the Passover celebration was over. God had other plans for Peter’s life and during the night an angel came and escorted Peter out of the prison. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Acts 12:1-10]
