IV. The Church astonished (vs. 12â€"19). When Peter fully comprehended what had transpired he went to the house of Mary, where an allâ€"night prayer meotâ€" ing had evidently been earried on. This Mary was a sister of Barnabas (Col. 4, 10) and the mother of John Mark, the young man who attended Paul and Barâ€" nabas on their first missionary tour and who was also the author of the gospel which bears his name. 13.â€"As Peter knockedâ€"It was now between 3 and 6 w‘clock in the morning.

"According to Joseâ€" phus, Herod was anxious to be esteemed n devout Jew. He allowed no day to pass without its appointed sacrifice. Such \a man might casily be aroused, by the Jews whom he was so anxious to please, to the perpetration of cruelties upon the Christiane."â€"Cam. Bib. 2.

James was no doubt taking a prominent part in the work of . the church. With the swordâ€"By killing with the sword we are to understand beheadâ€" ing. Among the Jews there were four kinds of deathâ€"stoning, burning, killing with the sword, or beheading _ and strangling.â€"Clarke. About a month afâ€" ter the death of James, his murderer died a horrible death at Caesarem (vs. 21â€" 23). 3. Pleasedâ€"His object was to gain public favor. Many others in authority since Herod‘s time have sacrificed prinâ€" ciple in order to secure popularity. Petâ€" er alsoâ€"Peter was very conspicuous in the church at this time. ‘‘Herod supposâ€" ed that these two were tuuuu on which the infans cause rested, and if they were removed the building must come down." Unleavened bread â€"â€" The feast of the FPassover which continued seven days. During this feast the Jews ate unleavened bread (Exod. 12. 15â€"18), and no leaven was allowed in their homes. The Passover th«t year was April 1â€"8. James was killed just before, and Poter was imprisoned during the feast. 4. Apprehendedâ€"See R.

Four quarternionsâ€"A quarternion was a company of four soldiers, hence there were sixteon in all.

Two of these were at the door of thy prison keeping guard and two weree hained to the prisoner. Escape was impossible from a human standâ€" point. After Easterâ€""After the Passâ€" aver."â€"R. V. After the feast was over. The word Easter is an ecclesiastical term of later date, and should have no place in the sacred text. Bring him forthâ€" This evidently means to put him to death provided "the people" â€"the bloodâ€"thirsty Jewsâ€"desired it. II. Peter‘s deliverance (vs. 5â€"11) Prayerâ€"‘"The only weapon they ~« use." _ Without ceasingâ€""Earnest! K. V. These prayers brought abow deliverance. Of the churchâ€"They no doubt met in private houses because of the persecution which would make public services dangeroums. Their central place of meeting was st the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark (v. 12). They prayed during the entire week for his deliverance, and it is not unlikely that they had a continuous meeting, although those composing the meeting would neâ€" cessarily change. 6 The <ame nightâ€" The night pregeding the day on which Herod intended to bring him forth for trial and exgcution. Peter was sleeping â€"Blessed sleep! "He giveth his beloved aleep." Peter had nothing to fear. He was ready to die for his Master; and alâ€" though he did not know when his end was to be, yet he knew how he was to die (John 21: 18,19). "His peaceful sleep was the trinmph of faith." 7. Angel ..... cameâ€"The deliverance was delayed until the last moment. This woukd test the faith of the church. Gates and guards kept his friends from him, but could not keep the angels away. 1L.

The beâ€" lief in guardian angels was . common among the Jews. 16. They were astonishâ€" edâ€"This does not indicate that they were unbelieving and lhad no expectation of an answer to their prayers,. "*They were astonished, not at the fact of an answer, but at the strange way in which it came. Our prayers are often answered in unexpected ways." After relating what had oceurred Peter asked them to tell James and the brethren. This was not the Apostle James, the son of Zebedce, as he had been slain (v. 2), but it was probably James, the brother of our Lord, who, it is believed, had the supervision oi the church in Jerusatem.

Ont PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Peter‘a Doliverance. I. Persecution. "Merod...killed James ...and . . . proceeded...to _ take _ Peter also" (vs. 1â€"3). _ James and Peter had been with Jesus on the Mount of Trans figuration (Matt. 17, 1); hod stood be side Him when He raised the dead (Mark 5, 37); were witnesses of His agâ€" ony in the garden (Mark 14, 33); saw Him in His resurrection glory (Acts 1, 10, 11); and had been baptized by His Spirit (Acts 2, 4; 4, 14). Persecution is the sure price of intimaey with the Lord, $11 00 Washington, D.C., and KReturn VII. Praise. "Declared .. how the Lord had brought him out" (v. 17). He told of his deliverance, "Men ought alâ€" ways to pray, and not to faint" (Luke 18; 1.) Trial of taith and patience is precious and profitable (Jas. 1; 3, 4.) Delay is not den‘al. _ (God‘s moment may be the last moment. (od‘s time is always best. "Blessed are all they that wait for him" (Isa, 30; 18.) We should uot become impatient.â€"A. C. M,.

He knew the God of Peace (Heb. 13; 20, 21); Jesus, the Lord of peace (2 Thess,. VI. Persiatence. "Peter continued knocking" (v. 16.) There is nothing like persistence for overcoming. "The Christâ€" ian worker who turns from the door of a heart because it is not opened at his first call, is not deserving of success. Knock, and it skall be opened.

At Jesus‘ birth came a message _ of peace (Luke 2; 14); at his death his legacy was peace (John 14; 27); after his resurreetion his first salutation was peace (John 20; 19, 21, 26.) He is our peace (Eph. 2; 14). IV. Protection. "The angel" (vs. 7â€" _ IV. Protection. "The angel" (vs. 7â€" 10.) It is a marvelous truth, sweet yet solemn, that the hosts of heaven serve the saints on earth. They guide (Acts 10; 2,3); comfort (Acts 27; 21â€"25); deâ€" fend (Acts 5; 19); watch (1 Tim. 5; 21); shall come with Jesus when he apâ€" pears (Matt. 25; 31; 2 Thess. 1; 7); and shall execute judgment (Matt, 13; 14, 42.)
