Acts 8:5-25

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.

14Now whenG1161 the apostlesG652 which wereG3588 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 heardG191 thatG3754 SamariaG3588G4540 had receivedG1209 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316, they sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 PeterG3588G4074 andG2532 JohnG2491:

15WhoG3748, when they were come downG2597, prayedG4336 forG4012 themG846, thatG3704 they might receiveG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151:

16(ForG1063 as yetG3768 he wasG1510 fallenG1968 uponG1909 noneG3762 of themG846: onlyG3440 they wereG5225 baptizedG907 inG1519 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424.)

17ThenG5119 laid theyG2007 their handsG3588G5495 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 they receivedG2983 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151.

18AndG1161 when SimonG3588G4613 sawG2300 thatG3754 throughG1223 laying onG3588G1936 of the apostles’G3588G652 handsG3588G5495 the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 was givenG1325, he offeredG4374 themG846 moneyG5536,

19SayingG3004, Give meG1325 alsoG2504 thisG3778 powerG3588G1849, thatG2443 on whomsoeverG3739G302 I layG2007 handsG3588G5495, he may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.

20ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, ThyG4771 moneyG3588G694 perishG684 withG4862 theeG4771, becauseG3754 thou hast thoughtG3543 thatG1223 the giftG3588G1431 of GodG3588G2316 may be purchasedG2932 with moneyG5536.

21ThouG4771 hastG1510 neitherG3756 partG3310 norG3761 lotG2819 inG1722 thisG3778 matterG3588G3056: forG1063 thyG4771 heartG2588 isG1510 notG3756 rightG2117 in the sight ofG1799 GodG3588G2316.

22RepentG3340 thereforeG3767 ofG575 thisG3778 thyG4771 wickednessG3588G2549, andG2532 prayG1189 GodG3588G2316, ifG1487 perhapsG687 the thoughtG3588G1963 of thineG4771 heartG3588G2588 may be forgivenG863 theeG4771.

23ForG1063 I perceiveG3708 that thouG4771 artG1510 inG1519 the gallG5521 of bitternessG4088, andG2532 in the bondG4886 of iniquityG93.

24ThenG1161 answeredG611 SimonG3588G4613, and saidG3004, PrayG1189 yeG4771 toG4314 the LordG3588G2962 forG5228 meG1473, thatG3704 none of these thingsG3367 whichG3739 ye have spokenG2046 comeG1904 uponG1909 meG1473.

25AndG3767 theyG3588, when they had testifiedG1263 andG2532 preachedG2980 the wordG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962, returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, andG5037 preached the gospelG2097 in manyG4183 villagesG2968 of the SamaritansG3588G4541.
