Acts 12:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ And at once an angel of the Lord smote him and cut him down, because he did not give God the glory (the preeminence and kingly majesty that belong to Him as the supreme Ruler); and he was eaten by worms and died.

²⁴ But the Word of the Lord [concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God] continued to grow and spread.

²⁵ And Barnabas and Saul came back from Jerusalem when they had completed their mission, bringing with them John whose surname was Mark.^(A)
