Acts 12:12-17 (Epistle)

12
So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.
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, “It is his angel.”
16
Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.
17
But motioning 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.
