18 E vindo o dia, havia não pouca perturbação entre os soldados, sobre o que, pois, tinha acontecido com Pedro.
19 E quando Herodes o buscou, e não o achou, tendo investigado aos guardas, mandou que eles fossem levados [para serem mortos] . E partindo da Judeia para Cesareia, ficou [ali] .
20 E Herodes estava extremamente irritado com os de Tiro e de Sidom; porém eles, vindo em concordância até ele, e persuadindo a Blasto, que era o camareiro do rei, pediram paz, porque a terra deles dependia dos alimentos da terra do rei [Herodes] .

22 E o povo exclamava: Voz de deus, e não de homem!
