Prior to that timeG4391, aG5100 manG435 namedG3686 SimonG4613 had practiced sorceryG3096 inG1722 theG3588 cityG4172 andG2532 astoundedG1839 theG3588 peopleG1484 of SamariaG4540. He claimedG3004G1438 to beG1510 someoneG5100 greatG3173, 10and allG3956 the people, fromG575 the leastG3398 toG2193 the greatestG3173, heededG4337G3739 his words and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 man isG1510 theG3588 divineG2316 powerG1411 calledG2564 the GreatG3173 Power.” 11They paid close attentionG4337 to himG846 becauseG1223 he had astoundedG1839 themG846 for aG3588 longG2425 timeG5550 withG3588 his sorceryG3095.

12ButG1161 whenG3753 they believedG4100 PhilipG5376 as he preached the gospelG2097 ofG4012 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 andG2532 theG3588 nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they were baptizedG907, bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135. 13EvenG2532 SimonG4613 himselfG846 believedG4100 andG2532 was baptizedG907. He followedG1510G4342 Philip closelyG5376 andG5037 was astoundedG1839 by the greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 miraclesG1411 he observedG2334G1096.
