Acts 12:11-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I certainly know that the Lord has sent His angel and delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”

12. Realizing this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.

13. As Peter knocked at the door of the porch, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

14. When she recognized Peter’s voice, from joy she did not open the door, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the door.

15. They said to her, “You are insane.” But she insisted that it was really so. So they said, “It is his angel.”

16. But Peter continued knocking. And when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.
