Acts 12:5-10

5SoG3767 PeterG4074 was keptG5083 inG1722 prisonG5438, butG1161 theG3588 churchG1577 wasG1510 ferventlyG1619 prayingG4335G1096 toG4314 GodG2316 forG4012 himG846.

6OnG3588 the nightG3571 before HerodG2264 wasG3195 to bring himG4254G846 to trial, PeterG4074 wasG1510 sleepingG2837 betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254, withG5037 sentriesG5441 standing guardG5083 atG4253 theG3588 entranceG2374 to theG3588 prisonG5438. 7SuddenlyG2532G2400 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG2186 andG2532 a lightG5457 shoneG2989 inG1722 theG3588 cellG3612. He tappedG3960 PeterG4074 on theG3588 sideG4125 and woke him upG1453G846, sayingG3004, “Get upG450 quicklyG1722G5034.” AndG2532 theG3588 chainsG254 fellG1601 offG1537 his wristsG5495. 8“Get dressedG2224 andG2532 put onG5265 yourG4771 sandalsG4547,” saidG2036 theG3588 angelG32. Peter didG4160 soG3779, andG2532 the angel toldG3004 himG846, “WrapG4016 yourG4771 cloak around youG2440 andG2532 followG190 meG1473.”

9So Peter followed himG190 outG1831, but he was unawareG3756G1492 thatG3754 whatG3588 theG3588 angelG32 was doingG1096 wasG1510 realG227. He thoughtG1380 he was only seeingG1161G991 a visionG3705. 10They passedG1330 the firstG4413 andG2532 secondG1208 guardsG5438 and cameG2064 toG1909 theG3588 ironG4603 gateG4439 leadingG5342 toG1519 theG3588 cityG4172, whichG3748 openedG455 for themG846 by itselfG844. When they had gone outsideG1831 and walked the length ofG4281 oneG1520 blockG4505, theG3588 angelG32 suddenlyG2112 leftG868G575 himG846.
