Acts 12:9-17
9And going forth he followed [him] and did not know that what was happening by means of the angel was real, but supposed he saw a vision.
10And having passed through a first and second guard, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city, which opened to them of itself; and going forth they went down one street, and immediately the angel left him.
11And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know certainly that [the] Lord has sent forth his angel and has taken me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12And having become clearly conscious [in himself], he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.
13And when he had knocked at the door of the entry, a maid came to listen, by name Rhoda;
14and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry.
15And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she maintained that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.
16But Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him and were astonished.
17And having made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, he related [to them] how the Lord had brought him out of prison; and he said, Report these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out and went to another place.
