Acts 12:9-17

9AndG2532 he went outG1831, and followedG190 himG846; andG2532 wistG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG1510 trueG227 which was doneG1096 byG1223 the angelG3588G32; butG1161 thoughtG1380 he sawG991 a visionG3705.

10WhenG1161 they were pastG1330 the firstG4413 andG2532 the secondG1208 wardG5438, they cameG2064 untoG1909 the ironG4603 gateG3588G4439 that leadethG5342 untoG1519 the cityG3588G4172; whichG3748 openedG455 to themG846 of his own accordG844: andG2532 they went outG1831, and passed on throughG4281 oneG1520 streetG4505; andG2532 forthwithG2112 the angelG3588G32 departedG868 fromG575 himG846.

11And whenG2532 PeterG3588G4074 was comeG1096 toG1722 himselfG1438, he saidG3004, NowG3568 I knowG1492 of a suretyG230, thatG3754 the LordG2962 hath sentG1821 hisG846 angelG3588G32, andG2532 hath deliveredG1807 meG1473 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of HerodG2264, andG2532 from allG3956 the expectationG3588G4329 of the peopleG3588G2992 of the JewsG2453.

12AndG5037 when he had consideredG4894 the thing, he cameG2064 toG1909 the houseG3588G3614 of MaryG3137 the motherG3588G3384 of JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138; whereG3757 manyG2425 wereG1510 gathered togetherG4867 prayingG4336.

13And asG1161 PeterG3588G4074 knockedG2925 at the doorG3588G2374 of the gateG3588G4440, a damselG3814 cameG4334 to hearkenG5219, namedG3686 RhodaG4498.

14AndG2532 when she knewG1921 Peter’sG3588G4074 voiceG3588G5456, she openedG455 notG3756 the gateG3588G4440 forG575 gladnessG3588G5479, butG1161 ran inG1532, and toldG518 howG2476 PeterG3588G4074 stoodG2476 beforeG4253 the gateG3588G4440.

15AndG1161 they saidG3004 untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004, It isG1510 hisG846 angelG3588G32.

16ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: andG1161 when they had openedG455 the door, and sawG3708 himG846, they were astonishedG1839.

17ButG1161 he, beckoningG2678 unto themG846 with the handG3588G5495 to hold their peaceG4601, declaredG1334 unto themG846 howG4459 the LordG3588G2962 had broughtG1806 himG846 out ofG1537 the prisonG3588G5438. AndG1161 he saidG3004, Go shewG518 these thingsG3778 unto JamesG2385, andG2532 to the brethrenG3588G80. AndG2532 he departedG1831, and wentG4198 intoG1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117.
