Acts 8:1-13
1AndG1161 SaulG4569 wasG1510 consenting untoG4909 hisG846 deathG3588G336. AndG1161 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG3588G2250 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 persecutionG1375 againstG1909 the AssemblyG3588G1577 which wasG3588 atG1722 JerusalemG2414; andG5037 they wereG1289 allG3956 scattered abroadG1289 throughoutG2596 the regionsG3588G5561 of JudæaG3588G2449 andG2532 SamariaG4540, exceptG4133 the apostlesG3588G652.
2AndG1161 devoutG2126 menG435 carriedG4792 StephenG3588G4736 to his burial, andG2532 madeG4160 greatG3173 lamentationG2870 overG1909 himG846.
3AsG1161 for SaulG4569, he made havockG3075 of the AssemblyG3588G1577, entering intoG1531 everyG2596 houseG3588G3624, andG5037 halingG4951 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135 committedG3860 them toG1519 prisonG5438.
4ThereforeG3767 theyG3588 that were scattered abroadG1289 went every whereG1330 preachingG2097 the wordG3588G3056.
5ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 went downG2718 toG1519 the cityG4172 of SamariaG3588G4540, and preachedG2784 ChristG3588G5547 unto themG846.
6AndG5037 the peopleG3588G3793 withG1722 one accordG3661 gave heedG4337 untoG5259 those thingsG3588 whichG3004 PhilipG3588G5376 spakeG3004, hearingG191 andG2532 seeingG991 the miraclesG3588G4592 whichG3739 he didG4160.
7ForG1063 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, cryingG994 with loudG3173 voiceG5456, came outG1831 of manyG4183 that were possessedG2192 with them: andG1161 manyG4183 taken with palsiesG3886, andG2532 that wereG2323 lameG5560, were healedG2323.
8AndG2532 there wasG1096 greatG3173 joyG5479 inG1722 thatG1565 cityG3588G4172.
9But there wasG1161 a certainG5100 manG435, calledG3686 SimonG4613, which beforetimeG4391 inG1722 the same cityG3588G4172 used sorceryG3096, andG2532 bewitchedG1839 the peopleG3588G1484 of SamariaG3588G4540, giving out thatG3004 himselfG1438 wasG1510 someG5100 great oneG3173:
10To whomG3739 they allG3956 gave heedG4337, fromG575 the leastG3398 toG2193 the greatestG3173, sayingG3004, This manG3778 isG1510 the greatG3173 powerG3588G1411 of GodG3588G2316.
11AndG1161 to himG846 they had regardG4337, because thatG1223 of longG2425 timeG5550 he had bewitchedG1839 themG846 with sorceriesG3588G3095.
12ButG1161 whenG3753 they believedG4100 PhilipG3588G5376 preachingG2097 the thingsG3588 concerningG4012 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG3588G2424 ChristG5547, they were baptizedG907, bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135.
13ThenG1161 SimonG3588G4613 himselfG846 believedG4100 alsoG2532: andG2532 when he wasG1510 baptizedG907, he continuedG4342 with PhilipG3588G5376, andG5037 wonderedG1839, beholdingG2334 the miraclesG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 which were doneG1096.
