King Herod (King of the Jewish people) persecuted Christians and ordered the arrest of the apostle Peter. The whole church was very afraid, so they gathered together in a house to pray. While they were praying, an angel visited Peter’s prison cell and miraculously released him. Peter found his way to the house where the church was praying. Peter then went into hiding. Herod continued to seek public approval desperately and even allowed people to praise him as if he were God. An angel struck Herod with an illness, and he died a terrible death.
