Acts 12:22-24

Living Bible

²² At its conclusion the people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It is the voice of a god and not of a man!”

²³ Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness so that he was filled with maggots and died—because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God.

²⁴ God’s Good News was spreading rapidly and there were many new believers.
