Acts 12:5-11

CLV(i) 5 Peter, indeed, then, was kept in the jail, yet prayer was earnestly made by the ecclesia to God concerning him." 6 Now when Herod was about to be leading him to them, in that night Peter was reposing between two soldiers, bound with two chains, besides which guards before the door kept the jail." 7 And lo! a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shines in the room. Now smiting Peter on the side, he rouses him, saying, "Rise quickly!And off fall his chains from his hands." 8 Now the messenger said to him, "Gird yourself and bind on your soles.Now he does thus. And he is saying to him, "Throw your cloak about you and follow me." 9 And, coming out, he followed him. And he had not perceived that what is occurring by means of the messenger is true, yet he seemed to be observing a vision." 10 Now, passing through the first jail and the second, they come to the iron gate that brings them into the city, which spontaneously was opened to them. And, coming out, they came forward one street, and immediately the messenger withdrew from him." 11 And Peter, coming to himself, said, "Now I truly am aware that the Lord delegates His messenger, and extricates me out of the hand of Herod and all the hope of the Jewish people."
