And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
And as Peter - rather, 'as he' (according to the better reading)
Knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken - not to open (for neither was this a time, nor an hour of the night, for that) but to listen who was there. The word х hupakouoo (G5219)] signifies to answer a knock at the door.
Named Rhoda. With a charming simplicity the name of this girl is recorded-familiar, probably, at the time among the disciples at Jerusalem as the person who played so important a part in this scene, and here preserved for all time to her honour.
