The death of Herodes

Acts 12:20–25

12:20 The death of Herodes

20 Now King Herodes (Herod) was disputing with the people of Tsor (Tyre) and Tsidon (Sidon), 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.

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

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

25 By then Barnabas and Sha’ul (Saul; Grk. Saulos/Saul) had completed their ministry and returned to[fn] Yerushalem (Jerusalem) taking Yohan (John; Grk. Yoannes) Markos (Yohan Markos) along with them.
