acts 12:7 And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter's side and roused him, saying, "Get up quickly." And his chains fell off his hands.

< Acts 12:6
Acts 12:8 >

      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.
