Acts 12:5-8

New International Version

⁵ So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.^(A)

⁶ The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains,^(B) and sentries stood guard at the entrance. ⁷ Suddenly an angel^(C) of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.^(D)

⁸ Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him.
