Acts 12:12-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.

¹³ And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.

¹⁴ And as soon as she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁵ But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.

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

¹⁷ But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place.
