Acts 12:7 in Context — Acts 12
5 Pierre donc était gardé dans la prison; et l’Église ne cessait d’adresser pour lui des prières à Dieu.
6 La nuit qui précéda le jour où Hérode allait le faire comparaître, Pierre, lié de deux chaînes, dormait entre deux soldats; et des sentinelles devant la porte gardaient la prison.
7 Et voici, un ange du Seigneur survint, et une lumière brilla dans la prison. L’ange réveilla Pierre, en le frappant au côté, et en disant: Lève-toi promptement! Les chaînes tombèrent de ses mains.
8 Et l’ange lui dit: Mets ta ceinture et tes sandales. Et il fit ainsi. L’ange lui dit encore: Enveloppe-toi de ton manteau, et suis-moi.
9 Pierre sortit, et le suivit, ne sachant pas que ce qui se faisait par l’ange fût réel, et s’imaginant avoir une vision.
