King Herod has James killed for his faith. Peter is imprisoned and earnest prayer is made for his release. Miraculously, an angel leads him out of the prison and he returns to the church. Even in persecution earthly rulers will not have the last word, as God strikes Herod down for his refusal to give God the glory. Even today the word of God increases despite every human effort to suppress it or undercut it. Nothing can overcome our Lord.
