Peter Chained in Prison

Product
Image ID

Description
Peter sits against the rough wall of a prison cell, dressed in first-century garments with a heavy chain across his lap. Warm light enters from the small barred window, emphasizing the confinement and the quiet expectancy before God’s intervention. The scene reflects the account in Acts 12, when Herod imprisoned Peter and the church prayed earnestly for him. In the night, the Lord sent an angel, light filled the cell, and Peter’s chains fell away as he was led out to freedom. This artwork focuses on the moment of waiting before deliverance, making it meaningful for themes of prayer, persecution, faith under trial, divine rescue, and the ministry of the early church.

Acts 12

5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church. 6 Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands.

Acts 12

6 Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands. 8 And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him. 11 When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”

Acts 12

7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands.
