Erat Petrus dormiens inter militus cintus catenis et ante ostium custodes. Ecce lumen refulsit in habitaculum astitit Angelus percussit Petrus et eccitavit. "Surge, surge velociter, solve catenas, precimge tè, calcea tè, circunda tibi vestimentum, sequere mè" Pulsante eo ostium Ioannis venit puella & pregaudio intro currens non peruit, pulsabat Petrus, perseverabat pulsans; respondebant puellae "in sanis in carcere est Petrus" (pulsabat Petrus) Narrabat puella stare Petrum ante ianuam (pulsabat Petrus) dicebant illi "Angelus eius est" (pulsabat Petrus, perseverabat pulsans); aparuerunt, viderunt, obstupuerunt. Annuens autem Petrus manu ut tacerent. Nunciavit quod Dominus abduxit eum. O Petre protector in te sperantium Petre. Te Petre poscimus ut culpas abluas noxia diluas. Ecce miserum peccatis de victam de tua liberatione confisam. Te Petre poscimus ut culpas abluas da pacem famulis da nobis gloriam per cuncta saecula Alleluia.

Pierre était endormi entre des soldats, couvert de chaînes et devant la porte il y avait des gardes. Voici qu'une lumière resplendit dans la maison, l'Ange apparut et frappa Pierre et le fit lever. "Debout ! vite debout, détache les chaînes, noue ta ceinture, chausse-toi, mets ton manteau, suis-moi". Il frappa à la porte de Jean, une jeune fille vint et dans sa joie courut à l'intérieur et n'ouvrit pas, il continuait de frapper ; les filles répondaient "tu es folle, Pierre est en prison" (Pierre frappait) La jeune fille racontait que Pierre était devant la porte (Pierre frappait) ils dirent "c'st son Ange" (Pierre frappait, continuait de frapper) ; ils ouvrirent, ils virent, ils furent frappés de stupeur. Pierre leur fit signe de la main de se taire. Il leur raconta que le Seigneur l'avait délivré. Ô Pierre, protecteur, en toi est l'espoir, Pierre. À toi Pierre nous te demandons que nos fautes soient oubliées, notre châtiment effacé. Nous voici vainqueurs du malheur des péchés, confiants par ta libération. À toi Pierre nous te demandons que nos fautes soient oubliées, donne la paix à tes serviteurs, donne-nous la gloire pour tous les siècles. Alléluia.
