King Herod was arresting Christians with the intention of persecuting them. He had arrested Peter, but postponed subsequent actions because of the Passover season.
Meanwhile, the church was meeting secretly praying for Peter.
Suddenly, an angel appeared in prison. He told Peter to put on his sandals, and then led him out of the prison.
Peter thought he was dreaming until he was truly out of the prison vicinity and the angel had left him. As he realised what was happening, he quickly went to the house of Mary.
The people praying were truly surprised to find Peter, but rejoiced to see his salvation.
