Acts 12:7-10

⁷Suddenly, there was a bright light in that jail cell, and one of God’s angel messengers came and stood in front of Peter. That angel hit him on the side to wake him up, and said, “Quick. Get up.” And the chains fell off Peter’s hands.

⁸Then the angel told him, “Get dressed and put on your shoes.” So Peter did that, then the angel said, “Now put on your coat and follow me.”

⁹So Peter followed the angel, and they just walked out of that jail cell. Peter was not sure that all these things were true. He thought, “Maybe I’m dreaming. Maybe this is not really happening to me.”

¹⁰Peter and the angel walked past the 1st mob of soldiers in that jail, then they walked past the 2nd mob of soldiers. After that they came to the big iron gate in the outside wall of the jail. That gate just opened by itself in front of them, and they walked out of the jail into the city street. They walked together along that street, and then suddenly the angel left Peter and went away.
