7-11. the angel of the Lord--rather, "an angel."
came upon him--so in
Lu 2:9,
expressive of the unexpected nature of the visit.
smote Peter on the side . . . Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off
. . . Gird thyself . . . And so he did . . . Cast thy garment--tunic,
which he had thrown off for the night.
