Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 12:5

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.Prayer ... for him ... Webster and Wilkinson's Greek Testament declares that "The Greek intimates that it was incessantly kept up, always going on."[3] Thus it was a kind of perpetual prayer meeting that the church organized on behalf of Peter. If it is wondered why this was not done for James, answer probably lies in the suddenness with which he was executed almost as soon as he was apprehended,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 12:6

And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the guards before the door kept the prison.PETER'S CONDITION WAS A TYPE OF SINMany of the old commentators allegorized this remarkable episode; and despite the fact that the New Testament does not refer to it as an allegory, there are undeniably elements of an astounding allegory in this event. Just as Paul allegorized the history of Abraham and his two wives in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 12:7

And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.Several things entered into Peter's deliverance. (1) There was a prayer meeting, mentioned later in Luke's narrative here, but already going on, and for days previously. (2) There was a messenger, in this case an angel of the Lord; but always there is a messenger when people are to be saved. "How shall they... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 12:8

And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.And he did so ... Peter's response to God's message was exactly what it should have been. If the apostle had been like many today who are commanded to obey the word of God, he might have said, "Sh-sh-sh, Angel, don't wake up the guard!" Or he might have said, "Well, thanks, Angel, I'll think about it! Some other time, I just might do what you say."... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 12:9

And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.Think of the importance of following. Peter's chains had fallen off, but he was still in Herod's dungeon; and his deliverance would be meaningful only when the iron gates closed behind him as he went out. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 12:10

And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.That great iron gate stands for death in this allegory. No man is safe from the fury of the evil one until death has ended his probation. To leave off following the Lord before death is to die in Satan's dominion and under his control. That is why... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 12:11

And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.As in the sacred records throughout the New Testament, God left here a nail where the unbeliever can hang his hat. "When Peter was come to himself ..." Ah, does not that mean that this event never really happened, but that Peter dreamed it? Not at all; but what is meant is that Peter's deliverance... read more
