Hechos 12:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 12:12

And when he had considered the thing
The whole of the salvation wrought for him; or rather, where he should go, to what house he should betake himself; ere he was aware,

he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was
Mark.
This good woman seems to be a widow, no mention being made of her husband, and was sister to Barnabas, ( Colossians 4:10 ) . She is described by a son she had, whose name was John Mark, because of the frequent mention made of him hereafter; her house being large, and her heart as large as her house, the saints met here, and were welcome, and where they were at this time, though so late:

where many were gathered together, praying;
the Ethiopic version adds, "for him"; and there were some in other places, for one place could not hold them all; see ( Acts 12:17 ) they held out to the end in prayer; this was their last effort in this way, and in this they were no doubt exceeding vehement and importunate, and they succeeded; so true is that observation in ( James 5:16 ) .

Hechos 12:12 In-Context

10 Pasaron el primer puesto de guardia y luego el segundo y llegaron a la puerta de hierro que lleva a la ciudad, y esta puerta se abrió por sí sola frente a ellos. De esta manera cruzaron la puerta y empezaron a caminar por la calle, y de pronto el ángel lo dejó.
11 Finalmente Pedro volvió en sí. «¡De veras es cierto! —dijo—. ¡El Señor envió a su ángel y me salvó de Herodes y de lo que los líderes judíos
tenían pensado hacerme!».
12 Cuando se dio cuenta de esto, fue a la casa de María, la madre de Juan Marcos, donde muchos se habían reunido para orar.
13 Tocó a la puerta de entrada, y una sirvienta llamada Rode fue a abrir.
14 Cuando ella reconoció la voz de Pedro, se alegró tanto que, en lugar de abrir la puerta, corrió hacia adentro y les dijo a todos:
—¡Pedro está a la puerta!
