10 After they passed the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went outside and passed one street, and immediately the angel left him.
11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.”
12 When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many had assembled and were praying.
13 He knocked at the door in the gateway, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer.
14 She recognized Peter’s voice, and because of her joy, she did not open the gate but ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gateway.
15 “You’re crazy! ” they told her. But she kept insisting that it was true. Then they said, “It’s his angel! ”
16 Peter, however, kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
