Lexham English Bible
15 But they said to her, “You are out of your mind!” But she kept insisting[a] it was so. And they kept saying,[b] “It is his angel!” 16 But Peter was continuing to knock, and when they[c] opened the door[d] they saw him and were astonished. 17 But motioning to them with his[e] hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and to the brothers,” and he departed and[f] went to another place.
