Acts 12:5-17

5SoG3767 PeterG4074 was keptG5083 in the prisonG5438, but prayerG4335 for him was beingG1096 madeG1096 ferventlyG1619 by the churchG1577 to GodG2316.

6On 1the veryG1565 nightG3571 whenG3753 HerodG2264 was aboutG3195 to bringG4254 him forwardG4254, PeterG4074 was sleepingG2837 betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, 2boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254, and guardsG5441 in frontG4253 of the doorG2374 were watchingG5083 overG5083 the prisonG5438. 7And beholdG2400, 3an angelG32 of the LordG2962 suddenly 4appearedG2186 and a lightG5457 shoneG2989 in the cellG3612; and he struckG3960 Peter’sG4074 sideG4125 and wokeG1453 him up, sayingG3004, “GetG450 up quicklyG5034.” And 5his chainsG254 fellG1601 offG1601 his handsG5495. 8And the angelG32 saidG3004 to him, “GirdG2224 yourself and 6putG5265 on your sandalsG4547.” And he didG4160 soG3779. And he saidG3004 to him, “WrapG4016 your cloakG2440 aroundG4016 you and followG190 me.” 9And he wentG1831 out and continued to followG190, and he did not knowG3609 that what was beingG1096 doneG1096 by the angelG32 was realG227, but thoughtG1380 he was seeingG991 7a visionG3705. 10When they had passedG1330 the firstG4413 and secondG1208 guardG5438, they cameG2064 to the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadsG5342 into the cityG4172, whichG3748 8openedG455 for them by itselfG844; and they wentG1831 out and wentG4281 alongG4281 oneG1520 streetG4505, and immediatelyG2112 the angelG32 departedG868 from him. 11When PeterG4074 9cameG1096 10to himselfG1438, he saidG3004, “NowG3568 I knowG3609 for sureG230 that 11the LordG2962 has sentG1821 forthG1821 His angelG32 and rescuedG1807 me from the handG5495 of HerodG2264 and from allG3956 12that the JewishG2453 peopleG2992 were expectingG4329.” 12And when he realizedG4894 this, he wentG2064 to the houseG3614 of MaryG3137, the motherG3384 of 13JohnG2491 who was also calledG1941 MarkG3138, whereG3757 manyG2425 were gatheredG4867 togetherG4867 and 14were prayingG4336. 13When he knockedG2925 at the doorG2374 of the gateG4440, 15a servant-girlG3814 namedG3686 RhodaG4498 cameG4334 to answerG5219. 14When she recognizedG1921 Peter’sG4074 voiceG5456, 16becauseG575 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 17his angelG32.” 16But PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925; and when they had openedG455 the door, they sawG3708 him and were amazedG1839. 17But 18motioningG2678 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 1920JamesG2385 and 21the brethrenG80.” ThenG2532 he leftG1831 and wentG4198 to anotherG2087 placeG5117.
