Question: What was the name of the servant girl accused of being out of her mind when she said that Peter was at the door?
Answer: Rhoda. (Acts 12:13-16)
Comments: After an angel aided Peter escape from an unjust imprisonment, he fled to the home of a woman named Mary. When he arrived, her servant, Rhoda, answered the door. When she alerted her fellow Christians that Peter was present they did not believe her.
This is the only time Rhoda, whose name means "Rose" or "woman from Rhodes", appears in the New Testament.
When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer. (Acts 12:13, NASB)
Rhoda and Mary were the names of the two best friends featured on the popular television series The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-1977).
