Acts 12:14-22

¹⁴And hearing the voice of Peter, in her joy she went running, without opening the door, to say that Peter was outside.

¹⁵And they said to her, You are off your head. But still she said, with decision, that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

¹⁶But Peter went on giving blows on the door: and when it was open and they saw him, they were full of wonder.

¹⁷But he made a sign to them with his hand to be quiet, and gave them an account of how the Lord had taken him out of prison. And he said, Give the news to James and the brothers. And then he went away.

¹⁸Now when it was day, the armed men were greatly troubled about what had become of Peter.

¹⁹And Herod, when he sent for him, and he was not there, after questioning the watchmen, gave orders that they were to be put to death. Then he went down from Judaea to Caesarea for a time.

²⁰Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon: and they came to him, all together, and having made friends with Blastus, the controller of the king's house, they made a request for peace, because their country was dependent on the king's country for its food.

²¹And on the day which had been fixed, Herod, dressed in his robes and seated in his place, made a public statement to them.

²²And the people, with loud cries, said, It is the voice of a god, not of a man.
