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 visions before (!0.10, 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 with persons known in the narrative.
