Acts 12:12-17

12And when he realizedG4894 this, he wentG2064 to the houseG3614 of MaryG3137, the motherG3384 of 1JohnG2491 who was also calledG1941 MarkG3138, whereG3757 manyG2425 were gatheredG4867 togetherG4867 and 2were prayingG4336. 13When he knockedG2925 at the doorG2374 of the gateG4440, 3a servant-girlG3814 namedG3686 RhodaG4498 cameG4334 to answerG5219. 14When she recognizedG1921 Peter’sG4074 voiceG5456, 4becauseG575 of her joyG5479 she did not openG455 the gateG4440, but ranG1532 in and announcedG518 that PeterG4074 was standingG2476 in frontG4253 of the gateG4440. 15They saidG3004 to her, “You are out of your mindG3105!” But she kept insistingG1340 that it was soG3779. They kept sayingG3004, “It is 5his angelG32.” 16But PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925; and when they had openedG455 the door, they sawG3708 him and were amazedG1839. 17But 6motioningG2678 to them with his handG5495 to be silentG4601, he describedG1334 to them howG4459 the LordG2962 had ledG1806 him out of the prisonG5438. And he saidG3004, “ReportG518 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to 78JamesG2385 and 9the brethrenG80.” ThenG2532 he leftG1831 and wentG4198 to anotherG2087 placeG5117.
