Acts 12:11-17

New International Version

¹¹ Then Peter came to himself^(A) and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me^(B) from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”

¹² When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark,^(C) where many people had gathered and were praying.^{(D) 13} Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.^{(E) 14} When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed^(F) she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”

¹⁵ “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”^(G)

¹⁶ But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. ¹⁷ Peter motioned with his hand^(H) for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James^(I) and the other brothers and sisters^(J) about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.
