Acts 12:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 12:7

Peter Freed from Prison

5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but¹ constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were¹ keeping the prison.

7 Now behold, ^aan angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands.

8 Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.”

9 So he went out and followed him, and ^adid not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought ^bhe was seeing a vision.
