ACTS 12:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.”
Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.—Peter's cognitive state ('had no idea... it was really happening,' ouk ēidei hoti alēthes estin...) suggests a dream-like quality; the passage between dimensions (prison to freedom) feels visionary. Peter's confusion mirrors the disciples' confusion at resurrection appearances; both involve crossing from death-bound to life-bound reality.
