8. And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
9. And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
10. When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him.
11. When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”
12. When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13. And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14. Recognizing Peter’s voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate.
15. They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is his angel!”
16. But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed.
