儿童解释

Imagine you're locked up in a big castle with lots of guards. Suddenly, your friend appears and takes you past all the guards without being caught. You go through two doors and an iron gate that opens by itself! Once you're free outside, your friend disappears. That's what happened to Peter, but it was really God helping him!

历史背景

The Book of Acts was written by Luke, a physician and companion of Paul, around 60-80 AD. It documents the early Christian church and its growth despite persecution. The passage describes events during Herod Agrippa I's reign in Judea.
