were hoping would happen.”

named Rhoda came to answer the door.
All: 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed
she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the
door!”
Leader: 15 “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she
kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
All: 16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the
door and saw him, they were astonished.
Leader: 17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet
and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison.
“Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this,” he
said, and then he left for another place.
All: 18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among
