Acts 12:20-23
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.
