Acts 12:21 in Context — Acts 12
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.
22 Le peuple s’écria: Voix d’un dieu, et non d’un homme!
23 Au même instant, un ange du Seigneur le frappa, parce qu’il n’avait pas donné gloire à Dieu. Et il expira, rongé des vers.
