Acts 12:13-17 ▼

13 When he knocked at the door of the outer gate, a slave girl named Rhoda answered.

14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she did not open the gate, but ran back in and told them that Peter was standing at the gate.

15 But they said to her, |You've lost your mind!| But she kept insisting that it was Peter, and they kept saying, |It is his angel!|

16 Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were greatly astonished.

17 He motioned to them with his hand to be quiet and then related how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, |Tell James and the brothers these things,| and then he left and went to another place.
