^21 (A)Then Moses reached out with his hand over the sea; and the Lord ^[a]swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into ^(B)dry land, and ^(C)the waters were divided. ²² So ^(D)the sons of Israel ^[b]went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and ^(E)the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left. ²³ Then ^(F)the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. ²⁴ But at the morning watch, ^(G)the Lord looked down on the ^[c]army of the Egyptians ^[d]through the pillar of fire and cloud, and brought the ^[e]army of the Egyptians into confusion. ²⁵ He ^[f]caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians each said, “Let me flee from Israel, ^(H)for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”

²⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, “^(I)Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” ²⁷ So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and ^(J)the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing ^[g]right into it; then the Lord ^[h](K)overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. ²⁸ The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; ^(L)not even one of them remained. ²⁹ But the sons of Israel walked on ^(M)dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left.

^30 (N)So the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel ^(O)saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. ³¹ When Israel saw the great ^[i]power which the Lord had ^[j]used against the Egyptians, the people ^[k]feared the Lord, and ^(P)they believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses.

⁵ So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made to God ^[a]intensely by the church.

⁶ On ^[b]the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, ^(A)bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison. ⁷ And behold, ^(B)an angel of the Lord suddenly ^(C)stood near Peter, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And ^(D)his chains fell off his hands. ⁸ And the angel said to him, “Put on your belt and ^[c]strap on your sandals.” And he did so. And he *said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” ⁹ And he went out and continued to follow, and yet he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing ^(E)a vision. ¹⁰ Now when they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which ^(F)opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. ¹¹ When Peter ^(G)came ^[d]to himself, he said, “Now I know for sure that ^(H)the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all ^[e]that the Jewish people were expecting.”
