Acts 12:20-25

20NowG1161 he was veryG2371 angryG2371 with the people of 1TyreG5183 and SidonG4606; and with oneG3661 accordG3661 they cameG3918 to him, and having wonG3982 overG3982 BlastusG986 the king’sG935 chamberlainG1909G2846, they were askingG154 for peaceG1515, becauseG1223 2their countryG5561 was fedG5142 by the king’sG937 country. 21On an appointedG5002 dayG2250 HerodG2264, having putG1746 on his royalG937 apparelG2066, tookG2523 his seatG2523 on the 3rostrumG968 and began deliveringG1215 an addressG1215 to them. 22The peopleG1218 kept cryingG2019 out, “The voiceG5456 of a godG2316 and not of a manG444!” 23And immediatelyG3916 4an angelG32 of the LordG2962 struckG3960 him becauseG473G3739 he did not giveG1325 GodG2316 the gloryG1391, and he was eatenG4662 by wormsG4662 and 5diedG1634.

24But 6the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 continued to growG837 and to be multipliedG4129.

25And 7BarnabasG921 and 8SaulG4569 returnedG5290 9from JerusalemG2419 10when they had fulfilledG4137 their 11missionG1248, takingG4838 alongG4838 with them 12JohnG2491, who was also calledG1941 MarkG3138.
