Acts 12:19-24

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ And when Herod had sought for him and found him not, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be taken away. Then he went down from Judaea to Caesarea and abode there.

²⁰ ¶ And Herod was highly displeased with those of Tyre and Sidon, but they came with one accord to him, and, having bribed Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace because their lands were supplied through those of the king’s.

²¹ And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne and made an oration unto them.

²² And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of god, and not of man.

²³ And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him because he did not give God the glory, and he expired eaten of worms.

²⁴ But the word of the Lord grew and multiplied.
