Acts 12:12-17

12When he realized this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered for prayer.

13He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it.

14When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and told everyone, “Peter is standing at the door!”

15“You’re out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel.”

16Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking. When they finally opened the door and saw him, they were amazed.

17He motioned for them to quiet down and told them how the Lord had led him out of prison. “Tell James and the other brothers what happened,” he said. And then he went to another place.
