    5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church fervently prayed to God for him.

    6 The night before Herod was to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while guards stood watch in front of the door of the prison.

    7 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side to wake him, the angel said, 'Get up quickly.' Immediately, the chains fell off Peter's hands.

    8 The angel said to him, 'Get dressed and put on your sandals.' Peter did so. Then the angel said, 'Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.'

    9 Peter followed him out, but he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.

    10 After they passed the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. They went out and walked one street, and immediately the angel left him.

    11 When Peter came to himself, he said, 'Now I truly know that the Lord sent His angel and rescued me from Herod's grasp and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.'

    12 Realizing this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who is also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.

    13 When he knocked on the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

    14 Recognizing Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that she did not open the gate but ran inside to announce 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. Then they said, 'It must be his angel.'
