Peter is arrested, but he is not held long. An angel frees him, though he is left standing at the door to a house where the church is meeting because of a young girls excitement over Peters escape. No Jail can hold the servants of God if God still has work for them to do. God is in control of such things and He lets them go as He pleases.
Herod is punished. Herod is the king of Israel. Really he is a Governor who governs the province under the Roman emperor. Someone calls out that his voice is not the voice of a man but of a God. He does nothing to deny this statement so God strikes him down. God is the only God and making any claims to the same is a dangerous business. So in what we do we should point to God and bring honor and glory to him rather than ourselves.
