9 So Peter followed him out, but he did not know if what the angel was doing was real; he thought he might be seeing a vision.
10 They went past the first and second guards and came to the iron gate that separated them from the city. The gate opened by itself for them, and they went through it. When they had walked down one street, the angel suddenly left him.
11 Then Peter realized what had happened. He thought, “Now I know that the Lord really sent his angel to me. He rescued me from Herod and from all the things the people thought would happen.”
12 When he considered this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark. Many people were gathered there, praying.
13 Peter knocked on the outside door, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so happy she forgot to open the door. Instead, she ran inside and told the group, “Peter is at the door!”
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she kept on saying it was true, so they said, “It must be Peter’s angel.”
