King James Version
Acts 12:14-25
14AndG2532 when she knewG1921 Peter’sG3588G4074 voiceG3588G5456, she openedG455 notG3756 the gateG3588G4440 forG575 gladnessG3588G5479, butG1161 ran inG1532, and toldG518 howG2476 PeterG3588G4074 stoodG2476 beforeG4253 the gateG3588G4440. 15AndG1161 they saidG3004 untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004, It isG1510 hisG846 angelG3588G32. 16ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: andG1161 when they had openedG455 the door, and sawG3708 himG846, they were astonishedG1839. 17ButG1161 he, beckoningG2678 unto themG846 with the handG3588G5495 to hold their peaceG4601, declaredG1334 unto themG846 howG4459 the LordG3588G2962 had broughtG1806 himG846 out ofG1537 the prisonG3588G5438. AndG1161 he saidG3004, Go shewG518 these thingsG3778 unto JamesG2385, andG2532 to the brethrenG3588G80. AndG2532 he departedG1831, and wentG4198 intoG1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117. 18NowG1161 as soon as it wasG1096 dayG2250, there wasG1510 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 amongG1722 the soldiersG3588G4757, whatG5101 was becomeG1096 of PeterG3588G4074. 19AndG1161 when HerodG2264 had soughtG1934 for himG846, andG2532 found himG2147 notG3361, he examinedG350 the keepersG3588G5441, and commanded thatG2753 they should be put to deathG520. AndG2532 he went downG2718 fromG575 JudeaG3588G2449 toG1519 CesareaG3588G2542, andG1304 there abodeG1304.
20AndG1161 HerodG3588G2264 wasG1510 highly displeasedG2371 with them of TyreG5183 andG2532 SidonG4606: butG1161 they cameG3918 with one accordG3661 toG4314 himG846, andG2532, having madeG3982 BlastusG986 the king’sG3588G935 chamberlainG3588G2846 their friendG3982, desiredG154 peaceG1515; becauseG1223 theirG846 countryG3588G5561 was nourishedG3588G5142 byG575 the king’sG3588G937 country. 21AndG1161 upon a setG5002 dayG2250 HerodG3588G2264, arrayed inG1746 royalG937 apparelG2066, satG2523 uponG1909 his throneG3588G968, and made an orationG1215 untoG4314 themG846. 22AndG1161 the peopleG1218 gave a shoutG2019, saying, It is the voiceG5456 of a godG2316, andG2532 notG3756 of a manG444. 23AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 smoteG3960 himG846, becauseG473 he gaveG1325 notG3756 GodG3588G2316 the gloryG3588G1391: andG2532 he wasG1096 eaten of wormsG4662, and gave up the ghostG1634. 24
ButG1161 the wordG3056 of GodG3588G2316 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129. 25AndG1161 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 returnedG5290 fromG1537 JerusalemG2419, when they had fulfilledG4137 their ministryG3588G1248, andG2532 took with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138.
