Acts 12:16-25

12:16

But
<1161>

Peter
<4074>

continued
<1961> (5707)

knocking
<2925> (5723)_:

and
<1161>

when they had opened
<455> (5660)

[the door], and saw
<1492> (5627)

him
<846>_,

<2532>

they were astonished
<1839> (5627)_.

12:17

But
<1161>

he, beckoning
<2678> (5660)

unto them
<846>

with the hand
<5495>

to hold their peace
<4601> (5721)_,

declared
<1334> (5662)

unto them
<846>

how
<4459>

the Lord
<2962>

had brought
<1806> (5627)

him
<846>

out of
<1537>

the prison
<5438>_.

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

Go shew
<518> (5657)

these things
<5023>

unto James
<2385>_,

and
<2532>

to the brethren
<80>_.

And
<2532>

he departed
<1831> (5631)_,

and went
<4198> (5675)

into
<1519>

another
<2087>

place
<5117>_.

12:18

Now
<1161>

as soon as it was
<1096> (5637)

day
<2250>_,

there was
<2258> (5713)

no
<3756>

small
<3641>

stir
<5017>

among
<1722>

the soldiers
<4757>_,

what
<5101> <686>

was become
<1096> (5633)

of Peter
<4074>_.

12:19

And
<1161>

when
<1934> (0)

Herod
<2264>

had sought for
<1934> (5660)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

found him
<2147> (5631)

not
<3361>_,

he examined
<350> (5660)

the keepers
<5441>_,

and commanded
<2753> (5656)

that [they] should be put to death
<520> (5683)_.

And
<2532>

he went down
<2718> (5631)

from
<575>

Judaea
<2449>

to
<1519>

Caesarea
<2542>_,

and [there] abode
<1304> (5707)_.

12:20

And
<1161>

Herod
<2264>

was
<2258> (5713)

highly displeased
<2371> (5723)

with them of Tyre
<5183>

and
<2532>

Sidon
<4606>_:

but
<1161>

they came
<3918> (5713)

with one accord
<3661>

to
<4314>

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>_,

having made
<3982> (0)

Blastus
<986>

the king's
<935>

chamberlain
<1909> <2846>

their friend
<3982> (5660)_,

desired
<154> (5710)

peace
<1515>_;

because
<1223>

their
<846>

country
<5561>

was nourished
<5142> (5745)

by
<575>

the king's
<937>

[country]. {was highly...: or, bare an hostile mind, intending war} {the king's chamberlain: Gr. that was over the king's bedchamber}

12:21

And
<1161>

upon a set
<5002>

day
<2250>

Herod
<2264>_,

arrayed
<1746> (5671)

in royal
<937>

apparel
<2066>_,

sat
<2523> (5660)

upon
<1909>

his throne
<968>_,

and
<2532>

made an oration
<1215> (5707)

unto
<4314>

them
<846>_.

12:22

And
<1161>

the people
<1218>

gave a shout
<2019> (5707)_,

[saying, It is] the voice
<5456>

of a god
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

of a man
<444>_.

12:23

And
<1161>

immediately
<3916>

the angel
<32>

of the Lord
<2962>

smote
<3960> (5656)

him
<846>_,

because
<473> <3739>

he gave
<1325> (5656)

not
<3756>

God
<2316>

the glory
<1391>_:

and
<2532>

he was
<1096> (5637)

eaten of worms
<4662>_,

and gave up the ghost
<1634> (5656)_.

12:24

But
<1161>

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>

grew
<837> (5707)

and
<2532>

multiplied
<4129> (5712)_.

12:25

And
<1161>

Barnabas
<921>

and
<2532>

Saul
<4569>

returned
<5290> (5656)

from
<1537>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

when they had fulfilled
<4137> (5660)

[their] ministry
<1248>_,

and
<2532>

took with them
<4838> (5631)

John
<2491>_,

whose surname was
<1941> (5685)

Mark
<3138>_.
