And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
So he followed the angel out, but honestly had no clue this was actually happening, he thought he was just having some wild dream or vision.
Sometimes God's rescue feels too good to be real, but it's happening anyway.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, which chronicles the early church's growth amid persecution by Roman authorities, Peter was imprisoned by King Herod Agrippa as part of a broader crackdown on Christians following the execution of James. An angel miraculously appeared in Peter's cell, freeing him from his chains and guiding him past the guards, all while Peter believed he was experiencing a dream rather than actual events. This narrative underscores the theme of divine intervention during times of intense opposition to the fledgling Christian movement.
