New Testament

Acts 12:9-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.

10. And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.

11. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

12. And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying.

13. And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.

14. And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.

15. And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.

16. But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
