📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Chapter 12, the early Christian church is enduring intense persecution under King Herod Agrippa, who had already executed the apostle James and imprisoned Peter to please the Jewish leaders. Miraculously, an angel of God releases Peter from prison, and he goes to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where a group of believers is gathered in prayer for his safety. When Peter arrives and knocks at the outer gate, a young servant girl named Rhoda comes to the door to listen and respond.
