ACTS 12:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.”
But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.—Peter's persistence (epimeninei, 'continued knocking') overcomes their disbelief; the physical presence (they 'saw him') forces recognition. The astonishment (existēmi) is the proper response to divine action violating human expectation.
