← Acts 12:16	Acts 12:17 (KJV)	Acts 12:18 →
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened [the door], and saw him, they were astonished.	But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.	Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
