Acts 12:14-20

¹⁴Upon recognizing Peter's voice, she was so glad she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing before the gate!

¹⁵But they said to her, “You're crazy!” but she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, “It is his angel.”

¹⁶But Peter kept on knocking; so when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.

¹⁷Motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. Then he said, “Tell these things to James and the brothers.” And going out he went off to a different place.

¹⁸Now as soon as it was day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers about what had become of Peter!

¹⁹Well after searching for him and not finding him, Herod examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Going down from Judea to Caesarea, he stayed there.

²⁰Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; so they came with one accord to him, and having won over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's.
