“And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.”
Then the angel said to him, 'Put on your clothes and sandals.' And Peter did so. 'Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,' the angel said.'—the mundane instructions (dress, follow) ground the miraculous in practical reality; the angel's command to get dressed is both practical and emblematic of restoration of dignity. Peter's prompt obedience ('Peter did so') shows unquestioning trust.
