"But Peter continued knocking: and when they had 149 opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished. But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison." And Peter "departed, and went into another place." Joy and praise filled the hearts of the believers, because God had heard and answered their prayers and had delivered Peter from the hands of Herod.

Imens blev Peter ved med at banke på, og da de lukkede døren op, så de, at det var ham, og de blev ude af sig selv af forbavselse. Men han gjorde tegn til dem med hånden, at de skulle tie, og han fortalte dem, hvordan Herren havde ført han ud af fængslet." Og Peter "gik ud og drog til et andet sted." Lov og pris fyldte de troendes hjerter, fordi Gud havde hørt og bønhørt dem og udfriet Peter af Herodes vold.
