*
Peter therefore was kept (
5712 )
in prison :
but prayer was (
5713 )
made (
5740 )
without ceasing of the church unto God for him .
*
And when Herod would (
5707 )
have brought him forth (
5721 ),
the same night Peter was (
5713 )
sleeping (
5746 )
between two soldiers ,
bound (
5772 )
with two chains :
and the keepers before the door kept (
5707 )
the prison .
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
the angel of the Lord came upon (
5627 )
him ,
and a light shined (
5656 )
in the prison :
and he smote (
5660 )
Peter on the side ,
and raised him up (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Arise up (
5628 )
quickly .
And his chains fell off (
5627 )
from his hands .
*
And the angel said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Gird thyself (
5669 ),
and bind on (
5669 )
thy sandals .
And so he did (
5656 ).
And he saith (
5719 )
unto him ,
Cast thy garment about (
5640 )
thee ,
and follow (
5720 )
me .
*
And he went out (
5631 ),
and followed (
5707 )
him ;
and wist (
5715 )
not that it was (
5748 )
true which was done (
5740 )
by the angel ;
but thought (
5707 )
he saw (
5721 )
a vision .
*
When they were past (
5631 )
the first and the second ward ,
they came (
5627 )
unto the iron gate that leadeth (
5723 )
unto the city ;
which opened (
5681 )
to them of his own accord :
and they went out (
5631 ),
and passed on through (
5627 )
one street ;
and forthwith the angel departed (
5627 )
from him .
*
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 ).
