OLBGrk;
Peter therefore was kept in prison, till a fit time to offer him up as a sacrifice unto the people: so basely do wicked men stoop for their ends. But prayer was made: the only help or hope poor Christians had, was from prayer ( preces et lachrymae); there are no quaternions of soldiers can keep the passage shut that is towards heaven. Without ceasing; continued, long prayers, without intermission; but also fervent and earnest prayers, oloqucwv, with all the might of their souls; remembering the apostle now in bonds, as bound with him, Hebrews 13:3.
