But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail during the night, brought them out, and said,

And all who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

After 40 years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.

“This Moses, whom they rejected when they said, Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?—this one God sent as a ruler and a redeemer by means of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

He is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness together with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors. He received living oracles to give to us.

An angel of the Lord spoke to Philip: “Get up and go south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is the desert road.)

About three in the afternoon he distinctly saw in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him, “Cornelius!”

After they passed the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went outside and passed one street, and immediately the angel left him.

Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.”

“You’re crazy!” they told her. But she kept insisting that it was true. Then they said, “It’s his angel!”
