Acts 12:7 And a great light was seen shining in the room, and an angel of the Lord came to Peter and, touching him on his side so that he came out of his sleep, said, Get up quickly. And his chains came off his hands.	Atti degli Apostoli 12:7 Ed ecco, un angelo del Signore sopraggiunse, e una luce risplendé nella cella; e l’angelo, percosso il fianco a Pietro, lo svegliò, dicendo: Lèvati prestamente. E le catene gli caddero dalle mani.
Acts 12:8 Then the angel said, Put on your shoes and get ready to go. And he did so. And he said, Put your coat round you and come with me.	Atti degli Apostoli 12:8 E l’angelo disse: Cingiti, e lègati i sandali. E Pietro fece così. Poi gli disse: Mettiti il mantello, e seguimi.

Acts 12:13 And he gave a blow on the door, and a young girl came to it, named Rhoda.	Atti degli Apostoli 12:13 E avendo Pietro picchiato all’uscio del vestibolo, una serva, chiamata Rode venne ad ascoltare;
Acts 12:14 And hearing the voice of Peter, in her joy she went running, without opening the door, to say that Peter was outside.	Atti degli Apostoli 12:14 e riconosciuta la voce di Pietro, per l’allegrezza non aprì l’uscio, ma corse dentro ad annunziare che Pietro stava davanti alla porta.
Acts 12:15 And they said to her, You are off your head. But still she said, with decision, that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.	Atti degli Apostoli 12:15 E quelli le dissero: Tu sei pazza! Ma ella asseverava che era così. Ed essi dicevano: E’ il suo angelo.
Acts 12:16 But Peter went on giving blows on the door: and when it was open and they saw him, they were full of wonder.	Atti degli Apostoli 12:16 Ma Pietro continuava a picchiare, e quand’ebbero aperto, lo videro e stupirono.

Acts 12:20 Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon: and they came to him, all together, and having made friends with Blastus, the controller of the king's house, they made a request for peace, because their country was dependent on the king's country for its food.	Atti degli Apostoli 12:20 Or Erode era fortemente adirato contro i Tiri e i Sidoni; ma essi di pari consentimento si presentarono a lui; e guadagnato il favore di Blasto, ciambellano del re, chiesero pace, perché il loro paese traeva i viveri dal paese del re.
