He struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, 'Arise quickly!' And his chains fell off his hands. 8 And the angel said to him, 'Get dressed and put on your sandals.' And he did so. And he said to him, 'Wrap your cloak around yourself and follow me.' 9 And he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them by itself; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. 11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, 'Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.' 12 And when he considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying. 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to listen. 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate. 15 And they said to her, 'You are mad.' But she insisted that it was so. Then they said, 'It is his angel.' 16 But Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were amazed. 17 But motioning to them with his hand to keep silence, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, 'Go and tell these things to James and to the brethren.' And he departed and went to another place. 18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter. 19 And when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. 20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord and, having made Blastus, the king's chamberlain, their friend, asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king's country. 21 And on a set day Herod, dressed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave a speech to them. 22 And the people shouted, 'It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!' 23 And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died. 24 But the word of God grew and multiplied. 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had completed their mission, and they took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
