Acts 12:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ So Peter was kept in prison, but fervent prayer for him was persistently made to God by the church (assembly).

⁶ The very night before Herod was about to bring him forth, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, fastened with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison.

⁷ And suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared [standing beside him], and a light shone in the place where he was. And the angel gently smote Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, Get up quickly! And the chains fell off his hands.
