And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. v.6
Read chapter 12
What maximum security! Being chained to two guards and then another two guards guarding the cell. Another obvious miracle that Peter didn't just sneak out on his own witty plan but that God ordained it by sending an angle to free him. The angle didn't get all whispery, tip-toe like but entered in a bright light, lighting up the prison. Also having Peter take they time to tie his shoes nonetheless. I'm guessing the guards got put under a deep sleep or something as the next morning they didn't seem to know what happened. The other interesting thing I notice about this verse six is that Peter was sleeping. How could you sleep being change to two guards and also knowing you're about to be killed?! I lose sleep over anxiousness of a guy flirting with me, no way could I sleep knowing I would be dead the next day. Yet Peter knew that peace of God and his willingness to die for Him and God's will be done. What leaves you with restless nights and what peace of God do you need to hear and trust in?
