Acts 12:14-25

14When she recognizedG1921 Peter’sG4074 voiceG5456, she was so overjoyedG575G3588G5479 that she forgot to openG3756G455 theG3588 gateG4440, butG1161 ran insideG1532 and announcedG518, “PeterG4074 is standingG2476 atG4253 theG3588 gateG4440!”

15“You are out of your mindG3105,” they toldG2036G4314 herG846. ButG1161 when she kept insistingG1340 it wasG2192 soG3779, they saidG2036, “It must beG1510 hisG846 angelG32.”

16ButG1161 PeterG4074 kept onG1961 knockingG2925, andG1161 when they openedG455 the door and sawG3708 himG846, they were astoundedG1839. 17Peter motionedG2678 withG3588 his handG5495 forG846 silenceG4601, and he describedG1334 howG4459 theG3588 LordG2962 had broughtG1806 himG846 out ofG1537 theG3588 prisonG5438. “Send wordG518G3778 to JamesG2385 andG2532 to theG3588 brothersG80,” he saidG2036, andG2532 he left forG1831G4198G1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117.

18AtG1161 daybreakG2250G1096 there wasG1510 noG3756 smallG3641 commotionG5017 amongG1722 theG3588 soldiersG4757 as to whatG5101G686 had becomeG1096 of PeterG4074. 19After HerodG2264 had searchedG1934 for himG846 unsuccessfully, he examinedG350 theG3588 guardsG5441 and ordered thatG2753 they be executedG520. ThenG2532 he went downG2718 fromG575 JudeaG2449 toG1519 CaesareaG2542 and spent some timeG1304 there.

20NowG1161 Herod wasG1510 in a furious disputeG23711 with the people of TyreG5183 andG2532 SidonG4606, andG1161 they convenedG3661G3918 beforeG4314 himG846. Having secured the supportG3982 of BlastusG986, theG3588 king’sG935 chamberlainG1909G3588G2846, they asked forG154 peaceG1515, becauseG1223 theirG846 regionG5561 dependedG575 on theG3588 king’sG937 country for foodG5142. 21On the appointedG5002 dayG2250, HerodG2264 donnedG1746 his royalG937 robes, satG2523 onG1909 his throneG968, and addressedG1215 the people. 22AndG1161 they began to shoutG2019, “This is the voiceG5456 of a godG2316, notG3756 a manG444!”

23ImmediatelyG3916, becauseG473G3739 Herod did not giveG3756G1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 struckG3960 him downG846, andG2532 he wasG1096 eaten by wormsG4662 and diedG1634.

24ButG1161 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 continued to spreadG837 andG2532 multiplyG4129.

25When BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 had fulfilledG4137 their missionG1248 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they returnedG5290,2 bringing withG4838 them JohnG2491, also calledG1941 MarkG3138.
