Peter’s friends, who were a part of the church, prayed for him in their home. While Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, an angel of the Lord was sent to help Peter out of jail. Peter’s chains fell off and the angel led him out. Peter then went to his friends’ house. He told them how the Lord helped him.
