ACTS 12:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.”
The people shouted, 'This is the voice of a god, not of a man.'—the crowd's acclamation ('This is a god's voice,' phōnē theou kai ouk anthropou, 'a god's voice, not a human's') grants him divine status. Whether from flattery or conviction, the deification of the human ruler is the antithesis of Christian faith; Herod accepts the title uncorrected.
