But she strenuously maintained that it was true. "It is his guardian angel," they said. 16 Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, until at last they opened the door and saw that it was really he, and were filled with amazement. 17 But he motioned with his hand for silence, and then described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. "Tell all this to James and the brethren," he added. Then he left them, and went to another place. Acts 12:13-17, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
