|
| 20 | He had for some time been furiously angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, who now by common agreement presented themselves at his court. There they won over Blastus the royal chamberlain, and sued for peace, because their country drew its supplies from the king's territory. | The Death of Herod Ac.12.20-24 | Ἦν δὲ θυμομαχῶν Τυρίοις καὶ Σιδωνίοις· ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ παρῆσαν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ πείσαντες Βλάστον τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ κοιτῶνος τοῦ βασιλέως ᾐτοῦντο εἰρήνην, διὰ τὸ τρέφεσθαι αὐτῶν τὴν χώραν ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλικῆς; |
|
| 21 | So, on an appointed day, attired in his royal robes and seated on the rostrum, | | τακτῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ Ἡρῴδης ἐνδυσάμενος ἐσθῆτα βασιλικὴν καὶ καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἐδημηγόρει πρὸς αὐτούς· |
|
| 22 | Herod harangued them; and the populace shouted back, 'It is a god speaking, not a man!' | | ὁ δὲ δῆμος ἐπεφώνει, Θεοῦ φωνὴ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώπου. |
|
| 23 | Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he had usurped the honour due to God; he was eaten up with worms and died.
| | παραχρῆμα δὲ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ἀγγελος κυρίου ἀνθ' ὧν οὐκ ἐδωκεν τὴν δόξαν τῷ θεῷ, καὶ γενόμενος σκωληκόβρωτος ἐξέψυξεν. |
|
| 24 | Meanwhile the word of God continued to grow and spread.
| | Ὁ δὲ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ ηὐξανεν καὶ ἐπληθύνετο. |
