¹⁵Those people said, “You are mad.” But she kept telling them that Peter really was there. Then they said, “It can’t be him. It has to be the angel that looks after him.”

¹⁶But Peter kept on knocking on that door. After a little while they stopped arguing and opened the door and saw him, and they were really surprised.

¹⁸After the sun came up the soldiers were really upset and worried. They were all saying things like, “Hey, what happened to Peter? Who let him get away?”
