Acts Of The Apostles 12:12-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

12. Realizing this, he made his way to Mary’s house. (Mary was John’s mother; he was also known as Mark.) Many believers had gathered there and were praying.

13. When Peter knocked at the outer gate, a female servant named Rhoda went to answer.

14. She was so overcome with joy when she recognized Peter’s voice that she didn’t open the gate. Instead, she ran back in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate.

15. "You’ve lost your mind!" they responded. She stuck by her story with such determination that they began to say, "It must be his guardian angel."
