Assuming the question refers to Peter's incarceration recorded in Acts 12, verse 4 of the King James version says Peter was delivered to "four quaternions of soldiers to keep him."

According to Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary, the Greek word from which "quaternion" is translated, tetradion, indicated a squad of four soldiers (tetra = four), making a total of sixteen who were specifically assigned to(and responsible for) Peter.
