Acts 12:5-11 So indeed Peter was kept in the prison, but fervent prayer was being made to God by the church concerning him.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ So indeed Peter was kept in the prison, but fervent prayer was being made to God by the church concerning him. 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 before the door were watching the prison. ⁷ And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the cell. And having struck Peter’s side, he woke him up, saying, “Rise up in haste.” And his chains fell off the hands. ⁸ And the angel said to him, “Gird yourself about, and put on your sandals.” And He did so. And he says to him, “Wrap around you your cloak and follow me.” ⁹ And having gone forth, he was following, and he did not know that what is happening by means of the angel is real, but he was thinking he saw a vision. ¹⁰ And having passed through a first and a second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened to them by itself. And having gone out, they went on through one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. ¹¹ And having come to himself, Peter said, “Now I know truly that the Lord has sent forth His angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.”
