Ten People Mentioned in Only Acts Quiz

Answer:

Rhoda was the absent minded servant girl who went to the door after Peter was frantically knocking following his miraculous escape from prison. When Rhoda heard Peter's voice, she left him there knocking and went to tell others in the house Peter was at the door. It's a good thing Peter was not being pursued by prison guards as he would have been easily captured. The Biblical account involving Rhoda can be found in Acts 12:5-19.
