Acts 12:6-8

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

An Angel Releases Peter

⁶ And when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains. And guards in front of the door were keeping-watch-over the prison. ⁷ And behold— an angel of the Lord stood near, and light^[a] shined in the cell. And having struck the side of Peter, he woke him, saying, “Arise quickly”. And his chains fell off of his hands. ⁸ And the angel said to him, “Gird-yourself ^[b] and tie-on your sandals”. And he did so. And he says to him, “Put-on your cloak and be following me”.
