Peter Rescued by an Angel
Peter was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus.  After
Jesus returned to his Father in heaven, Peter and the other
disciples went about telling the people everything that had
happened.  One day Peter was telling some people about  
Jesus.  King Herod didn't like Jesus so he threw Peter into 
prison.  Peter's friends heard that he was in prison so they
began to pray for him.  That night, while Peter was sleeping
in the jail, a great light shone all around.  Suddenly, an 
angel of the Lord appeared!  The angel woke Peter up and 
said, "Quick, get up!"  The chains on Peter's wrists fell 
off!  Peter and the angel began to walk out of the prison.  
The angel must have put the guards asleep since Peter and 
the angel walked right past them.  The iron gate of the 
prison opened and Peter and the angel escaped.  After they 
had left the prison, the angel disappeared.  Peter returned 
to his friends and continued to tell people about Jesus.
