And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

1. It was almost time to bring Peter out and let the people decide what to do with him.

2. Peter was sleeping. What else could he do? He was:

1. Bound with two chains

2. Linked to two soldiers with those chains

3. And guards at the door if, somehow, he managed to escape.

3. It is clear - Herod did NOT want Peter to escape.
