14 And recognizing Peter's voice, because of [her] joy she did not open the gate, but ran in [and] announced [that] Peter was standing at the gate.

Acts 12:14 In-Context

12 And [when he] realized [this], he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John (who is also called Mark), where many [people] were gathered together and were praying.
13 And [when] he knocked at the door of the gateway, a female slave {named} Rhoda came up to answer.
14 And recognizing Peter's voice, because of [her] joy she did not open the gate, but ran in [and] announced [that] Peter was standing at the gate.
15 But they said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she kept insisting it was so. And they kept saying, "It is his angel!"
16 But Peter was continuing to knock, and [when they] opened [the door] they saw him and were astonished.

  • [a]. *Literally "the"; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun
  • [b]. *Here "[and]" is supplied because the previous participle ("ran in") has been translated as a finite verb
