Acts 12:20-25 - Herod's Gruesome Death
20 Now Herod was violently displeased with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him, with one accord, and after conciliating Blastus, the royal chamberlain, they begged for peace because their country depended upon the king's country for its food supply. 21 So on the appointed day, Herod put on his royal robes, and after taking his seat upon the throne, began to harangue them. 22 "The voice of a god, and not of a man," the people kept shouting. 23 Instantly an angel of the Lord smote him, because he had not given God the glory, and being eaten up by worms, he died. 24 But the word of God grew and multiplied; 25 and after discharging their mission, Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, surnamed Mark.
