But at night the angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and led them out. The angel told them,

Then everyone who was seated in the Council glared 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 flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.

"This same Moses whom they rejected by saying, "Who made you ruler and judge?' was the man whom God sent to be both their ruler and deliverer with the help of the angel who had appeared to him in the bush.

Now an angel of the Lord told Philip, "Get up and go south on the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a deserted road."
