11. And when Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know truly that the Lord has sent out his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and all that the Jewish people expected!”
12. And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John (who is also called Mark), where many people were gathered together and were praying.
13. And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a female slave named Rhoda came up to answer.
14. And recognizing Peter’s voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate.
15. But they said to her, “You are out of your mind!” But she kept insisting it was so. And they kept saying, “It is his angel!”
16. But Peter was continuing to knock, and when they opened the door they saw him and were astonished.
17. But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and to the brothers,” and he departed and went to another place.
18. Now when day came, there was not a little commotion among the soldiers as to what then had become of Peter.
