What is the significance of Day 333 in the Bible in a Year podcast?
Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 333. That's triple three. The number, a holy number. It's the number of the Trinity three times. It's incredible. It's a 333. Not only that, it is the last day on the last second, the last page of the Bible in your reading plan. We're reading today Acts of the Apostles, chapter 12, as well as St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter five and six and Proverbs chapter 28, verses one through three. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.
I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year. And you would also be able to check off the last day on the second to last page and realize you only have, I don't know, three quarters of a page left and it would be, you would feel accomplished. You probably, hopefully you feel accomplished and actually legit. Like hopefully you feel accomplished because this is incredible. This day, three 33. That means that for 333 days, whether they were consecutive days or not, it doesn't matter. The fact is you made it to this point, and that is remarkable.

You don't have to, but you're invited to on day 333. That's how we do it. It is day 333, reading Acts of the Apostles, chapter 12, St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 5 and 6, and Proverbs chapter 28, verses 1 through 3. The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 12. James killed and Peter imprisoned by Herod.
What events led to Peter's imprisonment?
About that time, Herod the king laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword. And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the Days of Unleavened Bread. And when he had seized him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was being made to God by the church. An angel rescues Peter from prison. That very night, when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. And behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell, and he struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, Get up quickly. And the chains fell off his hands.
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. And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city.
How was Peter rescued from prison?
It opened to them of its own accord, and they went out and passed on through one street, and immediately the angel left him. And Peter came to himself and 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. When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John, whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying. And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a maid named Rhoda came to answer. Recognizing Peter's voice in her joy, she did not open the gate, but ran in and told that Peter was standing at the gate. They said to her, You are mad. But she insisted that it was so. They said, It is his angel. But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed. But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Tell this to James and to the brethren. Then he departed and went to another place.
