10When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and passed on through one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
12Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.
14When she recognized Peter`s voice, she didn`t open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter stood before the gate.
15They said to her, "You are crazy!" But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
16But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
