Rhoda was a girl living in the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark. She was a ‘maid’ or ‘servant girl’. After Peter was miraculously released from prison, he went to the house and knocked on the door.
After Peter was delivered from Jail by an Angel (read Acts 12:1-12).
Acts 12:13-16 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda. And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate. And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel. But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
