12:20 The death of Herod

20Now King Herod was disputing with the people of Tyre and Tsidon, and so they got together and persuaded Blastos, a close personal servant of the king, to be their spokesman in asking for peace because they were dependent on food from the king’s provinces.

21On the agreed day, Herod dressed in his royal garments and seated on his throne, started to address them. 22The crowd shouted out, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” 23Because he didn’t attribute the honour to God, one the master’s messengers immediately struck him down and he stopped breathing as a result of a worm infestation.

24Meanwhile God’s message continued to spread and multiply.

25By then Barnabas and Saul had completed their ministry and returned to[fn] Yerushalem taking Yohan Mark along with them.


12:25 TD:Some manuscripts have ‘from’ here because in the next few sentences it seems that they were returned to Antioch.

20And he_was raging with_the_Turos/(Tsor) and Sidōn/(Tsīdōn)ians, and with_one_accord they_were_coming to him, and having_persuaded Blastos, who was over the bedchamber of_the king, they_were_requesting peace, because_of that the region of_them to_be_being_nourished by the royal.
21And on_the_appointed day, the Haʸrōdaʸs, having_dressed_in the_royal clothing, having_sat_down on the tribunal, was_publicly_addressing to them.
22And the public was_crying_out:
The_voice of_a_god, and not of_a_human.
23And immediately an_messenger of_the_master struck him, because/for that he_ not _gave the glory to_ the _god, and having_become worm-infested, he_stopped_breathing.
24But the message of_the of_god was_growing and was_being_multiplied.
25And Barnabas and Saulos/(Shāʼūl) returned to Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), having_fulfilled the service, having_taken_along_with them Yōannaʸs, which having_been_called Markos.
