← Acts 12:12	Acts 12:13 (KJV)	Acts 12:14 →
And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.	And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.	And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
