Acts 12:10

---

← Acts 12:9	Acts 12:10 (KJV)	Acts 12:11 →
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.	When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.	And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
