Deeds (Act) of Apostles 12:8-16

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 pursue me.

⁹And he went out, and pursued him; and he wist not that it was sooth, that was done by the angel; for he guessed himself to have seen a vision.

¹⁰And they passed the first and the second ward, and came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which anon was opened to them. And they went out, and came forth into one street, and anon the angel passed away from him.

¹¹And Peter turned again to himself, and said, Now I know verily, that the Lord sent his angel, and delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the abiding of the people of Jews.

¹²And he beheld, and came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, that is named Mark, where many were gathered together, and praying.

¹³And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel or a wench, Rhoda by name, came forth to see.

¹⁴And when she knew the voice of Peter, for joy she opened not the gate, but ran in, and told, that Peter stood at the gate.

¹⁵And they said to her, Thou mad-dest or Thou art mad. But she affirmed, that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

¹⁶But Peter abode still, and knocked. And when they had opened the door, they saw him, and wondered.
