Bible: Ac 12:6-12

12:6 On that very night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, 1  Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while 2  guards in front of the door were keeping watch 3  over the prison. 12:7 Suddenly 4  an angel of the Lord 5  appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck 6  Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off Peter’s 7  wrists. 8  12:8 The angel said to him, “Fasten your belt 9  and put on your sandals.” Peter 10  did so. Then the angel 11  said to him, “Put on your cloak 12  and follow me.” 12:9 Peter 13  went out 14  and followed him; 15  he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, 16  but thought he was seeing a vision. 12:10 After they had passed the first and second guards, 17  they came to the iron 18  gate leading into the city. It 19  opened for them by itself, 20  and they went outside and walked down one narrow street, 21  when at once the angel left him. 12:11 When 22  Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued 23  me from the hand 24  of Herod 25  and from everything the Jewish people 26  were expecting to happen.”

12:12 When Peter 27  realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, 28  where many people had gathered together and were praying.
