in the street, and
realized that God had
truly delivered him.

3. 12 And when he had considered the thing, he came
to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose
surname was Mark; where many were gathered
together praying.
This verse introduces the reader to John Mark who
figures prominently in Paul’s first missionary journey.
Evidently his mother Mary was a woman of
prominence and means. Probably her house was a
principal meeting place of the church, so it must have
been spacious. … This same Mark is considered to be
the writer of the Gospel bearing his name

4. 13 And as Peter knocked at
the door of the gate, a
damsel came to hearken,
named Rhoda. 14 And
when she knew Peter's
voice, she opened not the
gate for gladness, but ran
in, and told how Peter
stood before the gate.

5. 15 And they said unto her,
Thou art mad. But she
constantly affirmed that
it was even so. Then said
they, It is his angel.
16 But Peter continued
knocking: and when they They were praying, but
had opened the door, and were astonished when

astonished. Did they have great
faith?

6. 17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to
hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord
had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go
shew these things unto James (Jesus' brother), and
to the brethren. And he departed, and went into
another place.

7. 18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small
stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19a And when Herod had sought for him, and found
him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded
that they should be put to death.

8. 19b And he (Herod) went down from Judaea to
Caesarea, and there abode. 20 And Herod was
highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but
they came with one accord to him, and, having
made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend,
desired peace; because their country was nourished
by the king's country.

9. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal
apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration
unto them. 22 And the people gave a
shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a
man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord
smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and
he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
Herod accepted their praise as a god.
Big mistake!

10. 24 But the Word of God grew and multiplied.
When the devil thinks he's winning,
He is fixing to suffer another loss.
Herod was the devil's faithful servant,
But he died vicious death at the Hand of God.

11. 25 And Barnabas and Saul
returned from Jerusalem,
when they had fulfilled
their ministry, and took
with them John, whose
surname was Mark.
John Mark was young, and grew up privileged
in a wealthy home;
He was unprepared for the hardships of
ministry.

12. Acts 15 36 And some days after Paul said unto
Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in
every city where we have preached the Word of the
Lord, and see how they do. 37 And Barnabas deter-
mined to take with them John, whose surname was
Mark. 38 But Paul thought not good to take him with
them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and
went not with them to the work. 39 And the contention
was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder
one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and
sailed unto Cyprus; 40 And Paul chose Silas, and
departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the
grace of God.
