Acts 12:11

And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

And when Peter was come to himself - when he had recovered from his bewilderment, and had time to look back upon all the steeps that had followed each other in such rapid succession.

He said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews - another evidence that Peter expected nothing on this occasion but to seal his testimony with his blood.
