12 Herod killeth James with the sword, 4 And imprisoneth Peter, 8 whom the Angel delivereth. 20 Herod being offended with them of Tyrus, 21 is pacified: 22 And taking the honor due to God, to himself, 23 he is eaten with worms , and so dieth.
1 Now [a]about that time, [b]Herod the king stretched forth his hand to vex certain of the Church,
2 And he [c]killed James the brother of John with the sword.
