Rhoda

A servant girl so excited to hear Peter's voice that she forgot to open the door

About

When Peter was miraculously freed from prison by an angel, he went to Mary's house where believers were praying for him (Acts 12:12-17). Rhoda answered the door, recognized Peter's voice, and was so overjoyed she ran back to tell everyone — without actually letting him in. The praying believers told her she was crazy. Meanwhile Peter kept knocking. A genuinely funny moment in Acts.

The Prayer Meeting That Couldn't Believe Its Own Answer

Acts 12:12-17

Rhoda is the servant girl whose excitement at recognizing Peter's voice causes her to leave him standing outside — her small, human moment becomes the chapter's most relatable and gently comic scene.
