Read Acts 12.6-17. In verse 6: The details emphasize the intensity of the watch. In verses 7-8: An angel of the Lord again accomplishes a release from prison (5.19: Lk 4.18). In verse 9: Peter has been confounded by vision before (10.10, 17; 12.11). In verse 10: The gate opening of its own accord is miraculous. In verse 11: Peter's verdict is a lucid declaration of the meaning of this rescue. In verses 12-17: These verses emphasize the fabulous character of the story. None of these common names can be decisively linked with persons known in the narrative. In verse 17: This James is probably "the Lord's brother," one of the leaders of the church in Jerusalem (Acts 15.13; Gal 1.19; 2.9). Comments or Questions...
