Acts 12:8-15

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.

¹⁰Passing through the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, that opened for them by itself; upon exiting they advanced one block, and suddenly the angel left him.

¹¹When Peter had come to himself he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord sent His angel and delivered me out of Herod's hand and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.”

¹²Upon reflection he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John (the one called Mark), where a considerable number had gathered and were praying.

¹³When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

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.”
