Acts 12:9-11

New Testament for Everyone

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. ¹⁰ They went through the first set of guards; then the second; and then they came to the iron gate that led into the city. It opened all by itself. They went out and walked along a street. Suddenly the angel left him.

¹¹ Then Peter came to his senses.

“Now I know it’s true!” he said. “The Lord sent his angel and snatched me out of Herod’s hands. He rescued me from all the things the Judaeans were intending to do.”
