Acts 8:4-14

4Those thenG3767 that had been scatteredG1289 wentG1330 through [the countries] announcing the glad tidings of the wordG3056.

5And PhilipG5376, going downG2718 to a cityG4172 of SamariaG4540, preachedG2784 the ChristG5547 to them;

6and the crowdsG3793 with oneG3739 accordG3661 gave heedG991 to the thingsG3739 spokenG3004 by PhilipG5376, when they heardG191 [him] and sawG991 the signsG4592 which he wrought.

7For from manyG4183 who had uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 they wentG1831 out, cryingG994 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456; and manyG4183 that were paralysed and lameG5560 were healedG2323.

8And there was greatG4183 joyG5479 in that cityG4172.

9But a certainG5100 manG435, by nameG3686 SimonG4613, had beenG1510 before in the cityG4172, using magic arts, and astonishing the nationG1484 of SamariaG4540, sayingG3004 that himself wasG1510 some greatG3173 oneG5100.

10To whom they had all given heed, from smallG3398 to greatG3173, sayingG3004, This isG1510 the powerG1411 of 1GodG2316 which isG1510 calledG2564 greatG3173.

11And they gave heed to him, because that for a long timeG5550 he had astonished them by his magic arts.

12But whenG3753 they believedG4100 PhilipG5376 announcing the glad tidings concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of 2GodG2316 and the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they were baptised, both menG435 and womenG1135.

13And SimonG4613 alsoG2532 himself believedG4100; and, having beenG1510 baptised, continuedG4342 constantly with PhilipG5376; and, beholding the signsG4592 and greatG3173 works of powerG1411 which took placeG1096, wasG1510 astonished.

14And the apostlesG652 who were in JerusalemG2414, having heardG191 that SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of 3GodG2316, sentG649 to them PeterG4074 and JohnG2491;
