AC-8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time

there was a

great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and

they were all

scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria,

except the

apostles.

AC-8:2 And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial], and made

great

lamentation over him.

AC-8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into

every house,

and haling men and women committed [them] to prison.

AC-8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every

where preaching

the word.

AC-8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and

preached Christ unto

them.

AC-8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those

things which Philip

spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

AC-8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of

many that were

possessed [with them]: and many taken with palsies, and that

were lame, were

healed.

AC-8:8 And there was great joy in that city.

AC-8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which

beforetime in the same

city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving

out that himself

was some great one:

AC-8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the

greatest, saying,

This man is the great power of God.

AC-8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time

he had bewitched

them with sorceries.

AC-8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things

concerning the

kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized,

both men and

women.

AC-8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was

baptized, he

continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and

signs which

were done.

AC-8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard

that Samaria had

received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

AC-8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that

they might

receive the Holy Ghost:

AC-8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they

were baptized

in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

AC-8:17 Then laid they [their] hands on them, and they received

the Holy

Ghost.

AC-8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the

apostles' hands the

Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

AC-8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I

lay hands, he

may receive the Holy Ghost.

AC-8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,

because thou hast

thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

AC-8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy

heart is not

right in the sight of God.

AC-8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God,

if perhaps the

thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

AC-8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness,

and [in] the

bond of iniquity.

AC-8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for

me, that none

of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

AC-8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word

of the Lord,

returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages

of the

Samaritans.

AC-8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying,

Arise, and go

toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem

unto Gaza, which

is desert.

AC-8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia,

an eunuch of

great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had

the charge of

all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

AC-8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias

the prophet.

AC-8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join

thyself to this

chariot.

AC-8:30 And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the

prophet

Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

AC-8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide

me? And he

desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

AC-8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He

was led as a

sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer,

so opened he

not his mouth:

AC-8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who

shall declare

his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

AC-8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee,

of whom

speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

AC-8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same

scripture, and

preached unto him Jesus.

AC-8:36 And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a

certain water: and

the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be

baptized?

AC-8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart,

thou mayest.

And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son

of God.

AC-8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they

went down both

into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

AC-8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit

of the Lord

caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went

on his way

rejoicing.

AC-8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he

preached in all

the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
