Atos 12:16 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 12:16

But Peter continued knocking
That they might come to him, and let him in; beginning to be impatient, and being very desirous of seeing his friends, as well as being in danger of being taken up, and had to prison again, should any of his enemies come by, who knew him:

and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were
astonished:
they could hardly believe their own eyes; it was amazing to them, how it should be, that he should be delivered out of prison, when they knew there was such a strong guard about him.

Atos 12:16 In-Context

14 Ao reconhecer a voz de Pedro, tomada de alegria, ela correu de volta, sem abrir a porta, e exclamou: “Pedro está à porta!”
15 Eles porém lhe disseram: “Você está fora de si!” Insistindo ela em afirmar que era Pedro, disseram-lhe: “Deve ser o anjo dele”.
16 Mas Pedro continuou batendo e, quando abriram a porta e o viram, ficaram perplexos.
17 Mas ele, fazendo-lhes sinal para que se calassem, descreveu como o Senhor o havia tirado da prisão e disse: “Contem isso a Tiago e aos irmãos”. Então saiu e foi para outro lugar.
18 De manhã, não foi pequeno o alvoroço entre os soldados quanto ao que tinha acontecido a Pedro.
