12As soon as he realised 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 recognised 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.
