Acts 12:7-11
7And beholdG2400, 1an angelG32 of the LordG2962 suddenly 2stoodG2186 nearG2186 Peter, and a lightG5457 shoneG2989 in the cellG3612; and he struckG3960 Peter’sG4074 sideG4125 and wokeG1453 him, sayingG3004, “GetG450 upG450 quicklyG5034.” And 3his chainsG254 fellG1601 offG1601 his handsG5495.
8And the angelG32 saidG3004 to him, “PutG2224 onG2224 your beltG2224 and 4strapG5265 onG5265 your sandalsG4547.” And he didG4160 soG3779. And he saidG3004 to him, “WrapG4016 your cloakG2440 aroundG4016 you and followG190 me.”
9And he wentG1831 outG1831 and continued to followG190, and yet he did not knowG3609 that what was beingG1096 doneG1096 by the angelG32 was realG227, but thoughtG1380 he was seeingG991 5a visionG3705.
10NowG1161 when they had passedG1330 the firstG4413 and secondG1208 guardG5438, they cameG2064 to the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadsG5342 into the cityG4172, whichG3748 6openedG455 for them byG844 itselfG844; and they wentG1831 outG1831 and wentG4281 alongG4281 oneG1520 streetG4505, and immediatelyG2112 the angelG32 departedG868 from him.
11When PeterG4074 7cameG1096 8to himselfG1438, he saidG3004, “NowG3568 I knowG3609 for sureG230 that 9the LordG2962 has sentG1821 forthG1821 His angelG32 and rescuedG1807 me from the handG5495 of HerodG2264 and from allG3956 10that the JewishG2453 peopleG2992 were expectingG4329.”
