Acts 12:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ They said to her, “You are ·crazy [insane; mad]!” But she kept on ·saying [insisting] it was true, so they said, “It must be Peter’s angel.”

¹⁶ [^LBut; Meanwhile] Peter continued to knock, and when they opened the door, they saw him and were ·amazed [astonished]. ¹⁷ Peter ·made a sign [motioned] with his hand to tell them to be quiet. He ·explained [recounted] how the Lord led him out of the ·jail [prison], and he said, “Tell James [^Cnot the son of Zebedee (who had been executed, 12:2), but the half-brother of Jesus, who would become the senior leader in the Jerusalem church; 15:13–21; 21:18] and the other ·believers [^Lbrothers] what happened.” Then he left to go to another place.
