Acts 12:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Now [Herod] cherished bitter animosity and hostility for the people of Tyre and Sidon; and [their deputies] came to him in a united body, and having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was nourished by and depended on the king’s [country] for food.

²¹ On an appointed day Herod arrayed himself in his royal robes, took his seat upon [his] throne, and addressed an oration to them.

²² And the assembled people shouted, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!
