Acts 12:14
Compare all
12 So, when he had considered this, ahe came to the house of Mary, the mother of bJohn whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together cpraying.  
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate.
15 But they said to her, “You are beside yourself!” Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, a“It is his angel.”  
16 Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.
17 But amotioning to them with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren.” And he departed and went to another place.  
18 Then, as soon as it was day, there was no small1 stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

Acts 12:14

She opened not the gate - At this time of night, and in these circumstances, the door would be fastened. Christians were doubtless alarmed by the death of James and the imprisonment of Peter, and they would take all possible precautions for their own safety.

For gladness - In her joy she hastened to inform those who were assembled of the safety of Peter.
