16 Peter, however, kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
17 Motioning to them with his hand(A) to be silent, he explained to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Report these things to James[a](B) and the brothers,” he said. Then he departed and went to a different place.
18 At daylight, there was a great commotion[b] among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.
