* And when Peter was come (5637 ) to himself , he said (5627 ), Now I know (5758 ) of a surety , that the Lord hath sent (5656 ) his angel , and hath delivered (5639 ) me out of the hand of Herod , and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews . * And when he had considered (5631 ) the thing , he came (5627 ) to the house of Mary the mother of John , whose surname was (5746 ) Mark ; where many were (5713 ) gathered together (5772 ) praying (5740 ). * And as Peter knocked at (5660 ) the door of the gate , a damsel came (5627 ) to hearken (5658 ), named Rhoda . * And when she knew (5631 ) Peters voice , she opened (5656 ) not the gate for gladness , but ran in (5631 ), and told how (5656 ) Peter stood (5760 ) before the gate . * And they said (5627 ) unto her , Thou art mad (5736 ). But she constantly affirmed (5711 ) that it was (5721 ) even so . Then said they (5707 ), It is (5748 ) his angel . * But Peter continued (5707 ) knocking (5723 ): and when they had opened (5660 ) the door , and saw (5627 ) him , they were astonished (5627 ). * But he , beckoning (5660 ) unto them with the hand to hold their peace (5721 ), declared (5662 ) unto them how the Lord had brought (5627 ) him out of the prison . And he said (5627 ), Go shew (5657 ) these things unto James , and to the brethren . And he departed (5631 ), and went (5675 ) into another place . * Now as soon as it was (5637 ) day , there was (5713 ) no small stir among the soldiers , what was become (5633 ) of Peter . * And when Herod had sought for (5660 ) him , and found him (5631 ) not , he examined (5660 ) the keepers , and commanded (5656 ) that they should be put to death (5683 ). And he went down (5631 ) from Judaea to Caesarea , and there abode (5707 ). * And Herod was (5713 ) highly displeased (5723 ) with them of Tyre and Sidon : but they came (5713 ) with one accord to him , and , having made Blastus the kings chamberlain their friend (5660 ), desired (5710 ) peace ; because their country was nourished (5745 ) by the kings country . * And upon a set day Herod , arrayed (5671 ) in royal apparel , sat (5660 ) upon his throne , and made an oration (5707 ) unto them . * And the people gave a shout (5707 ), saying , It is the voice of a god , and not of a man . * And immediately the angel of the Lord smote (5656 ) him , because he gave (5656 ) not God the glory : and he was (5637 ) eaten of worms , and gave up the ghost (5656 ).
