Deeds (Act) of Apostles 12:5-9

⁵And Peter was kept in prison; but prayer was made of the church without ceasing to God for him (or but prayer without ceasing was made by the church to God for him).

⁶But when Herod should bring him forth, in that night Peter was sleeping betwixt two knights, and was bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison. (But on the night before Herod would bring him before the people, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains; and the guards outside at the door, or at the gate, kept watch over the prison.)

⁷And lo! an angel of the Lord stood nigh, and light shone in the prison house. And when he had smitten the side of Peter, he raised, or waked, him, and said, Rise thou swiftly. And anon the chains felled down from his hands (or And at once the chains fell off his hands).

⁸And the angel said to him, Gird thee, and do on thine hoses. And he did so. And he said to him, Do about thee thy clothes, and (pur)sue me (or and follow me).

⁹And he went out, and (pur)sued him; and he wist not that it was sooth, that (it) was done by the angel, (or And he went out, and followed him; and he knew not that it was true, that it was done by the angel); for he guessed himself to have seen a vision.
