Acts 12:20-25

The Death of Herod

20 Now he was very angry with the people of ^aTyre and Sidon; and with one accord they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king’s chamberlain, they were asking for peace, because ^btheir country was fed by the king’s country. 21 And on an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel and sitting on the judgment seat, began delivering an address to them. 22 And the assembly kept crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23 And immediately ^aan angel of the ¹Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
24 But ^athe word of the Lord continued to grow and to be multiplied.
25 And ^aBarnabas and ^aSaul ¹returned ²to Jerusalem, ^bfulfilling their ministry, taking along with them ^cJohn, who was also called Mark.
