Kisah Para Rasul 12:3-17
12:3 When he saw that this pleased the Jews,
1 he proceeded to arrest Peter too. (This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.)
2
12:4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four squads
3 of soldiers to guard him. Herod
4 planned
5 to bring him out for public trial
6 after the Passover.
12:5 So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly
7 praying to God for him.
8
12:6 On that very night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial,
9 Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while
10 guards in front of the door were keeping watch
11 over the prison.
12:7 Suddenly
12 an angel of the Lord
13 appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck
14 Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off Peter’s
15 wrists.
16
12:8 The angel said to him, “Fasten your belt
17 and put on your sandals.” Peter
18 did so. Then the angel
19 said to him, “Put on your cloak
20 and follow me.”
12:9 Peter
21 went out
22 and followed him;
23 he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real,
24 but thought he was seeing a vision.
12:10 After they had passed the first and second guards,
25 they came to the iron
26 gate leading into the city. It
27 opened for them by itself,
28 and they went outside and walked down one narrow street,
29 when at once the angel left him.
12:11 When
30 Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued
31 me from the hand
32 of Herod
33 and from everything the Jewish people
34 were expecting to happen.”
12:12 When Peter 35 realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, 36 where many people had gathered together and were praying.
12:13 When he knocked at the door of the outer gate, a slave girl named Rhoda answered. 37
12:14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she did not open the gate, but ran back in and told 38 them 39 that Peter was standing at the gate.
12:15 But they said to her, “You’ve lost your mind!” 40 But she kept insisting that it was Peter, 41 and they kept saying, 42 “It is his angel!” 43
12:16 Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door 44 and saw him, they were greatly astonished. 45
12:17 He motioned to them 46 with his hand to be quiet and then related 47 how the Lord had brought 48 him out of the prison. He said, “Tell James and the brothers these things,” and then he left and went to another place. 49
