Acts 12:9

---

← Acts 12:8	Acts 12:9 (KJV)	Acts 12:10 →
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.	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.
