Acts 12:20-25 - Herod's Gruesome Death
20 It happened that Herod was deeply offended with the people of Tyre and Sidon, but they went in a body to him, and, having succeeded in winning over Blastus, the Chamberlain, they begged Herod for a reconciliation, because their country was dependent on the King's for its food-supply. 21 On an appointed day Herod, wearing his state-robes, seated himself on his throne, and delivered an oration. 22 The people kept shouting: "It is the voice of God, and not of a man!" 23 Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was attacked with worms, and died. 24 Meanwhile the Lord's Message kept extending, and spreading far and wide. 25 When Barnabas and Saul had carried out their mission, they returned to Jerusalem, and took with them John, who was also known as Mark.
