Peter knocked on the outside door. A servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
Then Peter left the yard. At the gate, another girl saw him. The girl said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
If a man locks the door of his house, then you can stand outside and knock on the door, but he won’t open it. You can say, ‘Sir, open the door for us!’ But the man will answer, ‘I don’t know you! Where did you come from?’
But Peter continued to knock. When the believers opened the door, they saw Peter. They were amazed.
