Verse 5
His captors probably imprisoned Peter in the Roman fortress of Antonia. It stood against the north wall of the temple enclosure and on the western end of this wall. [Note: See the diagram of Herod’s Temple Area near my comments on 3:12-15 above.] Prisons are no match for prayers, however, as everyone was to learn. The Christians prayed fervently about Peter’s fate believing that God could effect his release again. [Note: See Hiebert, pp. 30-32, for some helpful and motivating comments on their praying.]
"The church used its only available weapon-prayer." [Note: Kent, p. 102.]
