Acts 12:19-21
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
19 And Herod, having searched-for him and not having found him, having examined the guards, ordered that they be led[a] away. And having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was spending-time there. 20 Now he was being very-angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians. And they were coming to him with-one-accord. And having won-over[b] Blastus, the one over the bedroom[c] of the king, they were asking-for peace, because of their country being provided-for[d] from the royal land. 21 And on an appointed day, Herod— having put on the royal clothing, and having sat on the judgment-seat— was giving-a-public-address to them.
