Acts 12:6-8

English Standard Version

Peter Is Rescued

⁶ Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, ^(A)bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. ⁷ And behold, ^(B)an angel of the Lord ^(C)stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. ^(D)He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And ^(E)the chains fell off his hands. ⁸ And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and ^(F)put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
