Apostlenes gjerninger 12,9

Doubt

7 Plutselig viste en Herrens engel seg, og et lys skinte i cellen. Han slo Peter på siden og vekket ham, og sa: "Stå opp raskt." Lenken falt av Peters håndledd.

8 Engelen instruerte ham: "Ta på deg beltet og sandalene." Peter gjorde det. Så sa han: "Surr kappen rundt deg og følg meg."

Peter fulgte ham ut av fengselet, men han skjønte ikke at det som skjedde var virkelig; han trodde han så et syn.

10 De passerte den første og andre vakten og kom til jerngitteret som førte til byen, som åpnet seg av seg selv. De gikk gjennom det og gikk langs en gate, og plutselig forlot engelen ham.

11 Peter kom til seg selv og sa: "Nå er jeg sikker på at Herren har sendt sin engel og reddet meg fra Herodes' grep og fra alt det jødefolket ventet."

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
