← Acts 12:19	Acts 12:20 (KJV)	Acts 12:21 →
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that [they] should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and [there] abode.	And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's [country].	And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
