Acts 12:13-17 ▼

13 When he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.

14 Recognizing Peter’s voice, in her joy she failed to open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gateway.

15 They said to her, “You are out of your mind!” But she kept insisting that it was so. They kept saying, “It is his angel!”

16 But [meanwhile] Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were completely amazed.

17 But motioning to them with his hand to be quiet and listen, he described how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and the brothers and sisters.” Then he left and went to another place.
