Read and answer

Read the story first, then answer.

Out of the prisonKing Herod put Peter in prison in the week of Passover, and soldiers took turns guarding him. The church did not give up. Day and night they prayed for Peter at the house of Mary. On the last night, Peter slept between two soldiers, chained to both. Suddenly a bright light filled the cell, and a messenger from God told Peter to get up. The chains fell off his hands. Peter put on his belt and sandals and wrapped his coat around him. He followed past two guards, and the big iron gate opened all by itself. At Mary's house a servant girl named Rhoda knew his voice. She was so happy she forgot to open the gate and ran inside! Peter kept knocking until they let him in.
