John Chrysostom, on Acts 12:24

“But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.”

“"And the word of God," it says, "grew," i.e. in consequence of this, "and multiplied." Do you mark God's providential management? A great refreshing granted to them, and the numberless benefits accruing from the vengeance inflicted upon him.”
