    6The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.

    7And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly!" His chains fell off from his hands.

    8The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, and follow me."

    9And he went out and followed him. He didn't know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.

    15They said to her, "You are crazy!" But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
