Acts 12:19 in Context — Acts 12
17 Pierre, leur ayant de la main fait signe de se taire, leur raconta comment le Seigneur l’avait tiré de la prison, et il dit: Annoncez-le à Jacques et aux frères. Puis il sortit, et s’en alla dans un autre lieu.
18 Quand il fit jour, les soldats furent dans une grande agitation, pour savoir ce que Pierre était devenu.
19 Hérode, s’étant mis à sa recherche et ne l’ayant pas trouvé, interrogea les gardes, et donna l’ordre de les mener au supplice. Ensuite il descendit de la Judée à Césarée, pour y séjourner.
20 Hérode avait des dispositions hostiles à l’égard des Tyriens et des Sidoniens. Mais ils vinrent le trouver d’un commun accord; et, après avoir gagné Blaste, son chambellan, ils sollicitèrent la paix, parce que leur pays tirait sa subsistance de celui du roi.
21 A un jour fixé, Hérode, revêtu de ses habits royaux, et assis sur son trône, les harangua publiquement.
