But she constantly affirmed that it was euen so. Then said they, It it his Angel. 16But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the doore, and saw him, they were astonished. 17But he beckening vnto them with the hand, to hold their peace, declared vnto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison: And he said, Goe shew these things vnto Iames, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

Wesley's Notes for Acts 12:15
12:15 They said, Thou art mad - As we say, Sure you are not in your senses to talk so. It is his angel - It was a common opinion among the Jews, that every man had his particular guardian angel, who frequently assumed both his shape and voice. But this is a point on which the Scriptures are silent.
People's Bible Notes for Acts 12:15
Ac 12:15 It is his angel. The Jews held that every one had his guardian angel, and the thought his angel had assumed Peter's voice. A mistake, and Luke does not say whether the idea on which it was based is true or not.
