ISB ~ Acts 12 v6 - 11

The third imprisonment of Peter in Acts (4:3; 5:18) and the second time he is rescued by an angel (5:19; 12:7).

• The deliverance of Peter during Passover evokes memories of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. Like Israel, Peter is “brought … out” of bondage (12:17; Ex 12:51) and rescued “from the hand” of his enemies (12:11; Ex 3:8) on “Passover” night (12:4; Ex 12:11-12) by an “angel of the Lord” (12:7; Ex 14:19) after dressing himself and putting “sandals” on his feet (12:8; Ex 12:11).
