Acts 12:14-25
14And when she knewG1921 Peter’s voiceG5456, she openedG455 not the gateG4440 for joyG5479, but ran in, and toldG518 that PeterG4074 stoodG2476 before the gateG4440. 15And they saidG3004 unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it wasG1510 even soG3779. And they saidG3004, It isG1510 his angelG32. 16But PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: and when they had openedG455, they sawG3708 him, and were amazed. 17But he, beckoning unto them with the handG5495 to hold their peace, declaredG518 unto them howG4459 the LordG2962 had brought him forthG1831 out of the prisonG5438. And he saidG3004, TellG3004 these thingsG3778 unto JamesG2385, and to the brethren. And he departedG1831, and wentG1831 to another placeG5117. 18NowG1161 as soon as it wasG1510 dayG2250, there wasG1510 no smallG3641 stir among the soldiersG4757, what wasG1510 becomeG1096 of PeterG4074. 19And when HerodG2264 had soughtG1934 for him, and foundG2147 him not, he examined the guardsG5441, and commandedG2753 that they should be put to death. And he went downG2718 from Judæa to Cæsarea, and tarried there.
20NowG1161 he wasG1510 highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with oneG3661 accordG3661 to him, and, having made Blastus the king’sG935 chamberlain their friend, they askedG154 for peaceG1515, because their countryG5561 wasG1510 fedG5142 from the king’sG935 countryG5561. 21And upon a set dayG2250 HerodG2264 arrayed himself in royalG937 apparelG2066, and satG2523 on the throne, and made an oration unto them. 22And the people shouted, saying, The voiceG5456 of a godG2316, and not of a manG444. 23And immediatelyG3916 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 smote him, because he gaveG1325 not GodG2316 the gloryG1391: and he was eaten of worms, and gaveG1325 up the ghost.
24But the wordG3056 of GodG2316 grewG837 and multipliedG4129.
25And BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 returnedG5290 from JerusalemG2419, when they had fulfilled their ministration, takingG4838 with them JohnG2491 whose surname was MarkG3138.
