Acts 8:4-17

4They thereforeG3767 that were scatteredG1289 abroad wentG1330 about preaching the wordG3056. 5And PhilipG5376 went downG2718 to the cityG4172 of SamariaG4540, and proclaimedG2784 unto them the ChristG5547. 6And the multitudesG3793 gave heedG991 with oneG3739 accordG3661 unto the thingsG3739 that were spoken by PhilipG5376, when they heardG191, and sawG991 the signsG4592 which he did. 7For from manyG4183 of those that had uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, they cameG1831 out, cryingG994 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456: and manyG4183 that were palsied, and that were lameG5560, were healedG2323. 8And there was muchG4183 joyG5479 in that cityG4172.

9But there wasG1510 a certainG5100 manG435, SimonG4613 by nameG3686, who beforetime in the cityG4172 used sorcery, and amazed the peopleG1484 of SamariaG4540, giving out that himself wasG1510 some greatG3173 oneG5100: 10to whom they all gave heed, from the leastG3398 to the greatestG3173, sayingG3004, This manG3778 isG1510 that powerG1411 of GodG2316 which isG1510 calledG2564 GreatG3173. 11And they gave heed to him, because that of long timeG5550 he had amazed them with his sorceries. 12But whenG3753 they believedG4100 PhilipG5376 preaching good tidings concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 and the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they were baptizedG907, both menG435 and womenG1135. 13And SimonG4613 alsoG2532 himself believedG4100: and beingG1510 baptizedG907, he continuedG4342 with PhilipG5376; and beholding signsG4592 and greatG3173 miracles wrought, he wasG1510 amazed.

14NowG1161 when the apostlesG652 that were at JerusalemG2414 heardG191 that SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, they sentG649 unto them PeterG4074 and JohnG2491: 15who, when they were comeG2597 down, prayedG4336 for them, that they might receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151: 16for as yet it wasG1510 fallen upon noneG3762 of them: onlyG3440 they had beenG1510 baptizedG907 into the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 17Then laidG2007 they their handsG5495 on them, and they receivedG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
