Deeds (Act) of Apostles 12:17-25

¹⁷And he beckoned to them with his hand to be still, and told how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, Tell ye to James and to the brethren these things. And he went out, and went into another place (or and went to another place).

¹⁸And when the day was come, there was not little troubling among the knights, what was done of Peter. (And when the daylight had come, there was a great deal of concern among the soldiers, about what had become of Peter.)

¹⁹And when Herod had sought him, and found (him) not, after that he had made inquiring of the keepers, he commanded them to be brought to him, (or And when Herod had them search for him, and he was not found, after that he had questioned the guards, he commanded that they be put to death). And he came down from Judea into Caesarea, and dwelled there.

²⁰And he was wroth to (the) men of Tyre and of Sidon. And they of one accord came to him, when they had counselled with Blastus, that was the king’s chamberlain, (and) they asked (for) peace, for as much as their countries (or their provinces) were victualed of him or were nourished by him.

²¹And in a day that was ordained, Herod was clothed with king’s clothing, and sat for doomsman, and spake to them, (or and sat as judge, and spoke to them).

²²And the people cried, The voice of God, and not of man.

²³And anon an angel of the Lord smote him, for he had not given honour to God; and he was wasted of worms, and died. (And at once an angel of the Lord struck him, for he had not given honour to God; and he was wasted by worms, and died.)

²⁴And the word of the Lord waxed, (or grew, or spread), and was multiplied.

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul turned again from Jerusalem, when the ministry was ful filled, and (they) took John, that was named Mark. (And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when their service, or work, was completed, and they took John, who was called Mark, with them.)
