Acts 12:7-9

New Testament for Everyone

⁷ Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood there, and a light shone in the cell.

The angel hit Peter on the side and woke him up.

“Get up quickly!” he said.

The chains fell off his hands. ⁸ Then the angel spoke again.

“Get dressed and put on your sandals,” he said. So Peter did.

“Put on your cloak and follow me,” said the angel.

⁹ So he went out, following the angel. He didn’t think all this business with the angel was really happening. He thought he was seeing a vision.
