Acts12:24
24 ¶ But the word of God grew and multiplied.
The Word of God is compared here to Seed, as in our Saviours Parable, Matth. 13.19.
The number of believers multiplied through the Word, which was sown, as Seed is scattered abroad. So true it is, that Persecutors by their pulling down of the Church, do but build it up.
