Joy and Anger

Acts 12:16-19

But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. 'Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this'’ he said, and then he left for another place. In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. (NIVUK)

God had miraculously released Peter from prison. During the night, as Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, he was woken by an angel and his shackles fell off. Then the angel escorted him out of the closely guarded cell, past other guards and into the street (Acts 12:5-10). Peter made his way quickly to the large house in Jerusalem where the church often met. Initially, Rhoda the servant girl who heard Peter knocking did not open the outer door, presumably for security reasons, but joyfully reported that he was outside.
