16Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
17Peter held up his hand for them to be quiet, and then explained to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. “Let James and the brothers know about this,” he told them, and then left to go somewhere else.
18When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
19Herod had a thorough search made for him, but he couldn't be found. After interrogating the guards, Herod ordered that they should be executed. Then Herod left Judea and went to stay in Caesarea.
