John Gill Commentary Acts 12:22

"And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man." — Acts 12:22 (ASV)

And the people gave a shout
At the end of the oration; these were flatterers, as Josephus says in the place before referred to, who cried out one from another, saluting him as God; saying, be merciful to us, hitherto we have revered you as a man, henceforward we confess you somewhat more excellent than mortal nature: and so it follows here,

saying it is the voice of a God, and not of a man ;
the Vulgate Latin version reads, "the voices of God and not men"; and the Ethiopic version, "the city shouted in, or with the voice of God", with the voice of man; as if this referred to the acclamation of the people, and not the speech of the king; very wrongly.
