^"But the word of God grew and multiplied."

 Eaten by worms

Kings and their kingdoms will come to nothing.

Acts 12

Now Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king’s personal aide their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king’s country.


²¹ So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. 

 ²² And the people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 

 ²³ Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.


²⁴ But the word of God grew and multiplied.

 

²⁵ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark.
