Acts 12:12-19

12And having become clearly conscious [in himself], he cameG2064 to the houseG3614 of MaryG3137, the motherG3384 of JohnG2491 who wasG1510 surnamed MarkG3138, whereG3757 wereG1510 manyG2425 gathered togetherG4867 and prayingG4336.

13And when he had knockedG2925 at the doorG2374 of the entry, a maid cameG4334 to listen, by nameG3686 Rhoda;

14and having recognised the voiceG5456 of PeterG4074, through joyG5479 did not openG455 the entry, but running in, reportedG518 that PeterG4074 was standingG2476 before the entry.

15And they saidG3004 to her, Thou art mad. But she maintained that it wasG1510 soG3779. And they saidG3004, It isG1510 his angelG32.

16But PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: and having openedG455, they sawG3708 him and were astonished.

17And having made a sign to them with his handG5495 to be silentG4601, he related [to them] howG4459 the LordG2962 had brought him out of prisonG5438; and he saidG3004, ReportG518 these thingsG3778 to JamesG2385 and to the brethren. And he wentG1831 out and wentG1831 to another placeG5117.

18And when it wasG1510 dayG2250 there wasG1510 no smallG3641 disturbanceG5017 among the soldiersG4757, what thenG1161 wasG1510 becomeG1096 of PeterG4074.

19And HerodG2264 having soughtG1934 him and not foundG2147 him, having examined the guardsG5441, commandedG2753 [them] to be executed. And he went downG2718 from Judaea to CaesareaG2542 and stayedG1304 [there].
