10Passing the first Guard, and then the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened to them of itself; and, when they had passed through that, and had walked along one street, all at once the angel left him.
11Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know beyond all doubt that the Lord has sent his angel, and has rescued me from Herod's hands and from all that the Jewish people have been expecting.”
12As soon as he realized what had happened, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also known as Mark, where a number of people were gathered together, praying.
13On his knocking at the door in the gate, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to answer it.
14She recognized Peter's voice, but in her joy left the gate unopened, and ran in, and told them that Peter was standing outside.
15“You are mad!” they exclaimed. But, when she persisted that it was so, they said, “It must be his spirit!”
16Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, and, when they opened the gate and saw him, they were amazed.
17Peter signed to them with his hand to be silent, and then told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, adding, “Tell James and the others all this.” Then he left the house, and went away to another place.
18In the morning there was a great stir among the soldiers — what could have become of Peter!
