Acts 8:6-11

6Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did.

7Many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims. And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed.

8So there was great joy in that city.

9A man named Simon had been a sorcerer there for many years, amazing the people of Samaria and claiming to be someone great.

10Everyone, from the least to the greatest, often spoke of him as “the Great One—the Power of God.”

11They listened closely to him because for a long time he had astounded them with his magic.
