Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 12:22-23

_ _ the people gave a shout, etc. — Josephus’ account of his death is remarkably similar to this [Antiquities, 19.8.2]. Several cases of such deaths occur in history. Thus was this wretched man nearer his end than he of whom he had thought to make a public spectacle.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 12:20-25.
