Acts 12:16

The Rescue of Peter

15“You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”16But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.17Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.
