The Death of Herod

20 Now Herod was having an angry dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him with one accord, and having won over Blastus, the king's personal attendant, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's country. 21 On an appointed day Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat down on the platform, and made a speech to them. 22 The people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod down because he did not give [fn]glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last breath.

24 But the word of [fn]God increased and multiplied. 25 And when Barnabas and Saul completed their ministry, they returned [fn]to Jerusalem and brought with them John, who was called Mark.
