9AndG2532 he went outG1831, and followedG190 himG846; andG2532 knewG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076 trueG227 whichG3588 was doneG1096 byG1223 the angelG32; butG1161 thoughtG1380 he sawG991 a visionG3705. 10WhenG1161 they were pastG1330 the firstG4413 andG2532 the secondG1208 guardG5438, they cameG2064 toG1909 the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadethG5342 toG1519 the cityG4172; whichG3748 openedG455 to themG846 of its own accordG844: andG2532 they went outG1831, and passed on throughG4281 oneG3391 streetG4505; andG2532 immediatelyG2112 the angelG32 departedG868 fromG575 himG846. 11AndG2532 when PeterG4074 had comeG1096 toG1722 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, NowG3568 I knowG1492 with certaintyG230, thatG3754 the LordG2962 hath sentG1821 hisG846 angelG32, andG2532 hath deliveredG1807 meG3165 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of HerodG2264, andG2532 from allG3956 the expectationG4329 of the peopleG2992 of the JewsG2453. 12AndG5037 when he had consideredG4894 the thing, he cameG2064 toG1909 the houseG3614 of MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138; whereG3757 manyG2425 wereG2258 gathered togetherG4867 prayingG2532G4336. 13AndG1161 as PeterG4074 knocked atG2925 the doorG2374 of the gateG4440, a maidG3814 cameG4334 to answerG5219, namedG3686 RhodaG4498.1 14AndG2532 when she knewG1921 Peter’sG4074 voiceG5456, she openedG455 notG3756 the gateG4440 forG575 gladnessG5479, butG1161 ran inG1532, and told thatG518 PeterG4074 stoodG2476 beforeG4253 the gateG4440. 15AndG1161 they saidG2036 toG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 they saidG3004, It isG2076 hisG846 angelG32. 16ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: andG1161 when they had openedG455 the door, and sawG1492 himG846, they were astonishedG1839. 17ButG1161 he, beckoningG2678 to themG846 with the handG5495 to hold their peaceG4601, declaredG1334 to themG846 howG4459 the LordG2962 had broughtG1806 himG846 out ofG1537 the prisonG5438. AndG1161 he saidG2036, Go showG518 these thingsG5023 to JamesG2385, andG2532 to the brethrenG80. AndG2532 he departedG1831, and wentG4198 intoG1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117.
