Atti 12:22 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 12:22

And the people gave a shout
At the end of the oration; these were flatterers, as Josephus says in the place before referred to, who cried out one from another, saluting him as God; saying, be merciful to us, hitherto we have revered thee as a man, henceforward we confess thee somewhat more excellent than mortal nature: and so it follows here,

saying it is the voice of a God, and not of a man;
the Vulgate Latin version reads, "the voices of God and not men"; and the Ethiopic version, "the city shouted in, or with the voice of God", with the voice of man; as if this referred to the acclamation of the people, and not the speech of the king; very wrongly.

Atti 12:22 In-Context

20 Or Erode era indegnato contro a’ Tirii, e Sidonii, ed avea nell’animo di far lor guerra; ma essi di pari consentimento si presentarono a lui; e, persuaso Blasto, cameriere del re, chiedevano pace; perciocchè il lor paese era nudrito di quel del re.
21 E in un certo giorno assegnato, Erode, vestito d’una vesta reale, e sedendo sopra il tribunale, arringava loro.
22 E il popolo gli fece delle acclamazioni, dicendo: Voce di Dio, e non d’uomo.
23 E in quello stante un angelo del Signore lo percosse, perciocchè non avea data gloria a Dio; e morì, roso da’ vermini.
24 Ora la parola di Dio cresceva, e moltiplicava.
