13And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda,
14and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
15and they said unto her, `Thou art mad;` and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, `It is his messenger;`
16and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
17and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;` and having gone forth, he went on to another place.
18And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
19and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he was abiding [there].
