5Well Peter was being held in the prison all right, but the congregation was making earnest prayer to God on his behalf.
6So when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with guards protecting the prison in front of the doors.
7Suddenly, an angel of the Lord was there, and a light shone in the cell; striking Peter on the side he roused him saying, “Quick, get up!” and the chains fell away from his wrists.
8Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” So he did. Then he said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”
9So he went out and started following him, not realizing that what the angel was doing was real; he supposed he was seeing a vision.
