'Angel of the Lord' in the Bible

He had been dwelling upon this, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.

When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.

After they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said: "Awake, take the child and his mother, and seek refuge in Egypt; and stay there until I bid you return, for Herod is about to search for the child, to put him to death."

But, on the death of Herod, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said:

When suddenly a great earthquake occurred. For an angel of the Lord descended from Heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and seated himself upon it.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the Altar of Incense.

When an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the Glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.

An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.

Meanwhile an angel of the Lord had said to Philip: "Set out on a journey southwards, along the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (It is now deserted).

Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. The angel struck Peter on the side, and roused him with the words: "Get up quickly."

Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was attacked with worms, and died.
