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.
