King Herod kills James, the brother of John, with the sword and puts Peter in prison

헤롯왕이 요한의 형제 야고보를 칼로 죽이고 베드로를 옥에 가둠

Acts 12:1–5: about that time, King Herod stretches out his hands to oppress some of the assembly. He kills James, the brother of John, with the sword. When he sees that it pleases the Jews, he proceeds to seize Peter also; this is during the days of unleavened bread. When he has arrested him, he puts him in prison and delivers him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover. Peter therefore is kept in the prison, but constant prayer is made by the assembly to God for him.
