Acts 12:1, 22-24

It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.

They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. But the word of God continued to spread and flourish.
