Acts 12:9-17

9And goingG1831 forthG1831 he followedG190 [him] and did not know that what wasG1510 happeningG1096 by means of the angelG32 wasG1510 real, but supposed he sawG1492 a visionG3705.

10And having passedG1330 through a firstG4413 and secondG1208 guard, they cameG2064 to the ironG4603 gateG4439 which leads into the cityG4172, which openedG455 to them of itself; and goingG1330 forthG1831 they wentG1831 down oneG1520 streetG4505, and immediatelyG2112 the angelG32 left him.

11And PeterG4074, being comeG1096 to himself, saidG3004, NowG3568 I know certainly that [the] LordG2962 has sent forthG1821 his angelG32 and has taken me out of the handG5495 of HerodG2264 and all the expectationG4329 of the peopleG2992 of the JewsG2453.

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.
