13 Peter knocked on the door of the entryway, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so happy that instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and reported, “Peter is standing at the door!”
15 The people told her, “You’re crazy!” But she insisted that Peter was at the door. They said, “It has to be his angel.”
16 But Peter kept knocking. When they opened the door, they were shocked to see him.
17 Peter motioned with his hand to quiet them down and told them how the Lord had taken him out of prison. He added, “Tell James and the other believers about this.” Then he left and went somewhere else.
18 In the morning the soldiers were in an uproar over what had happened to Peter.
19 Herod searched for Peter but couldn’t find him. So he questioned the guards and gave orders to have them executed.Then Herod left Judea and went to Caesarea, where he stayed for a while.
