Peter Rescued By An Angel

5 Then was Peter kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing of the congregation unto God for him. 6 And when Herod would have brought him out unto the people, the same night slept Peter between two soldiers, bound with two chains; And the keepers before the door kept the prison. 7 And behold, the angel of the Lord was there present, and a light shined in the lodge. And he smote Peter on the side, and stirred him up, saying, "Arise up quickly." And his chains fell off from his hands.
