Acts 12:20-25
New King James Version
Herod’s Violent Death
20 Now Herod had been very angry with the people of (A)Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus [a]the king’s personal aide their friend, they asked for peace, because (B)their country was [b]supplied with food by the king’s country.
21 So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. 22 And the people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23 Then immediately an angel of the Lord (C)struck him, because (D)he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and [c]died.
24 But (E)the word of God grew and multiplied.
Barnabas and Saul Appointed
25 And (F)Barnabas and Saul returned [d]from Jerusalem when they had (G)fulfilled their ministry, and they also (H)took with them (I)John whose surname was Mark.
