[21] Herod decided on a day to meet with them. On that day he was wearing a beautiful royal robe. He sat on his throne and made a speech to the people.
[22] The people shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
[23] Herod did not give the glory to God. So an angel of the Lord caused him to get sick. He was eaten by worms inside him, and he died.

[6] One night, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two of the soldiers. More soldiers were guarding the door of the jail. Herod was planning to bring Peter out before the people the next day.
[7] Suddenly an angel of the Lord was standing there, and the room was filled with light. The angel tapped Peter on the side and woke him up. The angel said, “Hurry, get up!” The chains fell off Peter’s hands.
[8] The angel said, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” Peter did as he was told. Then the angel said, “Put on your coat and follow me.”
[9] So the angel went out and Peter followed. He did not know if the angel was really doing this. He thought he might be seeing a vision.
[10] Peter and the angel went past the first guard and the second guard. Then they came to the iron gate that separated them from the city. The gate opened for them by itself. After they went through the gate and walked about a block, the angel suddenly left.
[11] Peter realized then what had happened. He thought, “Now I know that the Lord really sent his angel to me. He rescued me from Herod and from everything those Jews thought would happen to me.”

[21] The Lord was helping these men, and a large number of people believed and decided to follow the Lord.

[44] While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening to his speech.
[45] The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the Holy Spirit had been poured out as a gift also to people who were not Jews.
[46] They heard them speaking different languages and praising God. Then Peter said,
[47] “How can anyone object to these people being baptized in water? They have received the Holy Spirit the same as we did!”

[43] Everyone who believes in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name. All the prophets agree that this is true.”

[34] Peter began to speak: “I really understand now that God does not consider some people to be better than others.
[35] He accepts anyone who worships him and does what is right. It is not important what nation they come from.

[28] Peter said to the people, “You understand that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit anyone who is not a Jew. But God has shown me that I should not consider anyone unfit or say they are not pure.
