Acts 12:7 Context
5Peter therefore was kept in prison, but prayer was made without ceasing of the Church vnto God for him. 6And when Herode would haue brought him foorth, the same night Peter was sleeping betweene two Souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the Keepers before the doore kept the prison. 7And beholde, the Angel of the Lord came vpon him, and a light shined in the prison: and hee smote Peter on the side, and raised him vp, saying, Arise vp quickely. And his chaines fell off from his hands. 8And the Angel said vnto him, Girde thy selfe, and binde on thy sandales: And so he did. And he sayth vnto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 9And hee went out, and followed him, and wist not that it was true which was done by the Angel: but thought he saw a vision.
