Acts 12:8-16

⁸And the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and put on your sandals”; and he did so. And he said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”

⁹And going out, he was following him, and did not know that the thing taking place by the angel was real, but he was thinking that he was seeing a vision.

¹⁰And going though the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city, which was opened to them of its own accord; and going out, they went forward one street, and immediately the angel withdrew from him.

¹¹And Peter, having come to himself, said, “Now I know truly that the Lord has sent forth His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jews.”

¹²And realizing this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where a considerable number were gathered together and were praying.

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

¹⁴When she recognized Peter's voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but running in, she announced that Peter stood at the gate.

¹⁵But they said to her, “You are mad!” Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, “It is his angel.”

¹⁶But Peter was continuing knocking; and opening the door they saw him, and were astounded.
