Departed; ἀπέστη, in contrast to ἐπέστη, rendered "stood by" in ver. 7.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) When they were past the first and the second ward.--It would seem from this that Peter had been placed in the innermost dungeon, and had to pass the two court-yards. Lightfoot supposes the prison to have been between the inner and outer walls of the city, the direction of Peter's movements being from the outer to the inner.The iron gate.--The touch of topographical precision may be noticed as characteristic of St. Luke.Passed on through one street.--The word implies one of the narrow streets or lanes of the city. (See Note on Matthew 6:2.)
