²³ Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness so that he was filled with maggots and died—because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God.

²⁵ Barnabas and Paul now visited Jerusalem and as soon as they had finished their business, returned to Antioch,^[a] taking John Mark with them.
