Gabriel Brings an Answer

20 (A)While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for (B)the holy hill of my God, 21 while I was speaking in prayer, the man (C)Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, (D)came to me in swift flight at (E)the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 (F)He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you (G)insight and understanding. 23 (H)At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, (I)and I have come to tell it to you, for (J)you are greatly loved.

So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest (A)prayer for him was made to God by the church.

Peter Is Rescued

Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, (B)bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. And behold, (C)an angel of the Lord (D)stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. (E)He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And (F)the chains fell off his hands. And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and (G)put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but (H)thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. (I)It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him. 11 When Peter (J)came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that (K)the Lord has sent his angel and (L)rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”

12 When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of (M)John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and (N)were praying. 13 And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, (O)a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer. 14 Recognizing Peter's voice, (P)in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate. 15 They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is (Q)his angel!” 16 But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed.

18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, (A)I have sinned against (B)heaven and before you. 19 (C)I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and (D)ran and (E)embraced him and (F)kissed him.
