Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
12:18-23 When Peter couldn’t be found after a careful search, Herod interrogated the guards and put them to death (cp. 16:27). However, Herod met his own painful end as a divine judgment on his conceit when he accepted the people’s worship. Josephus records the death of Herod Agrippa I in greater detail (Josephus, Antiquities 19.8.1-2).

The people are using one part of Herod, his voice, to represent all of him in the act of speaking. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: “This person who is speaking to us is a god, not a man”
