Original text and translations

Latin text Angelus Domini astitit et lumen refulsit in habitaculo carceris, percussoque latere Petri excitavit eum dicens: Surge velociter quia ceciderunt catenae de manibus tuis.

English translation An angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, woke him up and said: Quick, get up, because the chains fell off your wrists.

Hungarian translation Megjelent az Úr angyala és fény ragyogott fel a cellában. [Az angyal] meglökte Péter oldalát, fölkeltette és így szólt: Kelj fel gyorsan, mert a láncok lehullottak a kezedről.
