What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent His Angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. When the angel departed, then Peter understood: "Now I perceive," says he, not then. But why is this so, and why is Peter not sensible of the things taking place, although he had already experienced a like deliverance when all were released? …
Theophylact of Ohrid
Now, he says, I knew, "now I see truly," and not then. It was pleasing to the Angel that Peter's heart be filled with joy suddenly and that he understand what had happened only after the deliverance.
Western Saints
Bede
And Peter, coming to himself. That is, having returned from the height of contemplation to what he was previously in common understanding.
