Rhoda was a servant girl in the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, who recognized Peter's voice at the door.
Rhoda was a servant girl in the household of Mary, the mother of John Mark, who answered the door when Peter knocked after his miraculous release from prison (Acts 12:13–15). In her excitement at recognizing Peter's voice, she forgot to open the gate and ran to tell the assembled believers, who initially refused to believe her—a moment of gentle humor in the dramatic narrative of apostolic deliverance.
