Acts 12:6
And when Herod would have brought forth, him the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

τότε ἐγγίσας ὁ χιλίαρχος ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκέλευσεν δεθῆναι ἁλύσεσιν δυσίν καὶ ἐπυνθάνετο τίς ἂν εἴη καὶ τί ἐστιν πεποιηκώς
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
ὥστε θαῤῥοῦντας ἡμᾶς λέγειν Κύριος ἐμοὶ βοηθός καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
δῴη ἔλεος ὁ κύριος τῷ Ὀνησιφόρου οἴκῳ ὅτι πολλάκις με ἀνέψυξεν καὶ τὴν ἅλυσίν μου οὐκ ἐπῆσχύνθη
The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁאוּל מִצַּד הָהָר מִזֶּה וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו מִצַּד הָהָר מִזֶּה וַיְהִי דָוִד נֶחְפָּז לָלֶכֶת מִפְּנֵי שָׁאוּל וְשָׁאוּל וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו עֹֽטְרִים אֶל-דָּוִד וְאֶל-אֲנָשָׁיו לְתָפְשָֽׂם׃
And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed about David and his men round to take them.
μηδὲν μεριμνᾶτε ἀλλ' ἐν παντὶ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ δεήσει μετὰ εὐχαριστίας τὰ αἰτήματα ὑμῶν γνωριζέσθω πρὸς τὸν θεόν
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your be made requests known unto God.
ὑπὲρ οὗ πρεσβεύω ἐν ἁλύσει ἵνα ἐν αὐτῷ παῤῥησιάσωμαι ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
διὰ ταύτην οὖν τὴν αἰτίαν παρεκάλεσα ὑμᾶς ἰδεῖν καὶ προσλαλῆσαι ἕνεκεν γὰρ τῆς ἐλπίδος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν ἅλυσιν ταύτην περίκειμαι
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
וְעַתָּה הִנֵּה פִתַּחְתִּיךָ הַיּוֹם מִֽן-הָאזִקִּים אֲשֶׁר עַל-יָדֶךָ אִם-טוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָבוֹא אִתִּי בָבֶל בֹּא וְאָשִׂים אֶת-עֵינִי עָלֶיךָ וְאִם-רַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָבֽוֹא-אִתִּי בָבֶל חֲדָל רְאֵה כָּל-הָאָרֶץ לְפָנֶיךָ אֶל-טוֹב וְאֶל-הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת שָׁמָּה לֵֽךְ׃
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
אֲנִי שָׁכַבְתִּי וָֽאִישָׁנָה הֱקִיצוֹתִי כִּי יְהוָה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
בְּשָׁלוֹם יַחְדָּו אֶשְׁכְּבָה וְאִישָׁן כִּֽי-אַתָּה יְהוָה לְבָדָד לָבֶטַח תּוֹשִׁיבֵֽנִי׃
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
λέγοντες ὅτι Τὸ μὲν δεσμωτήριον εὕρομεν κεκλεισμένον ἐν πάσῃ ἀσφαλείᾳ καὶ τοὺς φύλακας ἔξω ἑστῶτας πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν ἀνοίξαντες δὲ ἔσω οὐδένα εὕρομεν
Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
וַיִּקְרָא אַבְרָהָם שֵֽׁם-הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא יְהוָה׀ יִרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר יֵֽאָמֵר הַיּוֹם בְּהַר יְהוָה יֵֽרָאֶֽה׃
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ φόβου αὐτοῦ ἐσείσθησαν οἱ τηροῦντες καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡσεὶ νεκροί
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
יֵצֶר סָמוּךְ תִּצֹּר שָׁלוֹם׀ שָׁלוֹם כִּי בְךָ בָּטֽוּחַ׃
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
