18 Now day having come, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what then was become of Peter. 19 And Herod, having sought after him and not having found him, having examined the guards, commanded them to be led away. And having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he stayed there. 20 Now he was furiously angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and they came to him with one accord. And having gained Blastus, who was over the bedchamber of the king, they were seeking peace because of their region being nourished by the king’s. 21 Now on the appointed day Herod, having put on royal apparel and having sat on the throne, was making an address to them. 22 And the people were crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23 And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give the glory to God. And having been eaten by worms, he breathed his last. 24 But the word of God continued to grow and to multiply. 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned, having fulfilled the ministry to Jerusalem, having taken with them John, the one having been called Mark.
