5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest (A)prayer for him was made to God by the church.
Peter Is Rescued
6 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. 7 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. 8 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.” 9 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. 17 But (R)motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Tell these things to (S)James and to (T)the brothers.”[a] Then he departed and went to another place.
18 Now when day came, there was no little disturbance among the soldiers over what had become of Peter. 19 And after Herod searched for him and did not find him, he examined the sentries and (U)ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.

24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices (A)together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, (B)who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,[a] said by the Holy Spirit,
(C)“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and (D)the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his (E)Anointed’[b]—
27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your (F)holy servant Jesus, (G)whom you anointed, both (H)Herod and (I)Pontius Pilate, along (J)with the Gentiles and (K)the peoples of Israel, 28 (L)to do whatever your hand and (M)your plan had predestined to take place. 29 And now, Lord, (N)look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all (O)boldness, 30 while (P)you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed (Q)through the name of your (R)holy servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, (S)the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and (T)they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and (U)continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
