About this episode
The episode discusses the rescue of Peter from prison by an angel and contrasts it with the downfall of King Herod Agrippa I.
Luke records how an angel of the Lord rescued Peter from prison. King Herod Agrippa I was trying to slow the early church down. Later, in a prideful speech by King Herod, an angel of the Lord struck down the king. Luke contrasts this by saying the word of God grew and multiplied.
