12:4 Herod had Peter guarded by four squads of soldiers, making it humanly impossible for the apostle to escape (cp. 12:6). However, God was in charge, and nothing is too hard for him (cp. 4:27-31; Gen 18:14; Jer 32:17, 27; Matt 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 1:37; 18:27).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ὃν καὶ πιάσας, ἔθετο εἰς φυλακήν
whom also /having/_arrested ˱he˲_put in prison
The pronouns whom refers to Peter, and the pronoun he refers to Herod. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “After Herod had arrested Peter, he put him in prison”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
τέσσαρσιν τετραδίοις στρατιωτῶν
˱to˲_four squads_of_four ˱of˲_soldiers
These quaternions were groups of four soldiers each. They would have taken turns guarding Peter in six-hour shifts throughout the day and night. Two soldiers would have been at Peter’s side and the other two soldiers by the entrance. Your language and culture may have a term for a group of four soldiers that you can use in your translation. You could also explain the meaning of the term “quaternion,” as UST does. Alternate translation: “to four teams of soldiers”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
βουλόμενος & ἀναγαγεῖν αὐτὸν τῷ λαῷ
wishing & /to/_bring_up him ˱to˲_the people
The phrase to bring him out means to put Peter on trial publicly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Herod planned to judge Peter in a public trial in the presence of the Jewish people”
