1AndG2532 SaulG4569 wasG1510 consenting unto hisG846 deathG336. AndG2532 thereG1510 aroseG1096 onG1909 thatG1565 dayG2250 a greatG3173 persecutionG1375 againstG2596 theG3956 churchG1577 whichG3588 wasG1510 inG1722 JerusalemG2414; andG2532 theyG846 wereG1510 allG3956 scatteredG1289 abroad throughoutG2596 theG3956 regionsG5561 ofG2250 Judaea andG2532 SamariaG4540, exceptG4133 theG3956 apostlesG652. 2AndG2532 devoutG2126 menG435 buriedG4792 StephenG4736, andG2532 madeG4160 greatG3173 lamentationG2870 overG1909 himG846. 3ButG1161 SaulG4569 laid waste theG3588 churchG1577, enteringG1531 intoG1519 everyG2596 houseG3624, andG2532 haling menG435 andG2532 womenG1135 committedG3860 themG3860 toG1519 prisonG5438. 4TheyG3767 thereforeG3767 thatG3767 were scatteredG1289 abroad wentG1330 aboutG1330 preachingG2097 theG3588 wordG3056. 5AndG1161 PhilipG5376 wentG2718 downG2718 toG1519 theG3588 cityG4172 ofG4172 SamariaG4540, andG1161 proclaimedG2784 unto themG846 theG3588 ChristG5547. 6AndG2532 theG3588 multitudesG3793 gaveG4160 heedG991 withG1722 oneG3739 accordG3661 unto theG3588 thingsG3739 thatG3739 were spokenG3004 byG1722 PhilipG5376, whenG2532 theyG846 heardG191, andG2532 sawG991 theG3588 signsG4592 whichG3739 heG2532 didG4160. 7ForG1063 fromG5456 manyG4183 ofG4151 thoseG3588 whichG3588 had uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, theyG2532 cameG1831 outG1831, cryingG994 withG2532 a loudG3173 voiceG5456: andG2532 manyG4183 thatG1161 were palsied, andG2532 thatG1161 were lameG5560, were healedG2323. 8AndG1161 thereG1722 was muchG4183 joyG5479 inG1722 thatG1565 cityG4172. 9ButG1161 thereG1510 wasG1510 aG1510 certainG5100 manG435, SimonG4613 byG1722 nameG3686, whichG3588 beforetime inG1722 theG3588 cityG4172 used sorcery, andG2532 amazedG1839 theG3588 peopleG1484 ofG435 SamariaG4540, giving outG1438 thatG3004 himselfG1438 wasG1510 someG5100 greatG3173 oneG5100: 10toG3004 whomG3739 theyG3739 allG3956 gave heed, fromG575 theG3956 leastG3398 toG3004 theG3956 greatestG3173, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 manG3778 isG1510 thatG3739 powerG1411 ofG575 GodG2316 whichG3739 isG1510 calledG2564 GreatG3173. 11AndG1161 theyG846 gave heed toG846 himG846, becauseG1223 thatG846 ofG1223 longG5550 timeG5550 heG846 had amazedG1839 themG846 withG1223 hisG846 sorceries. 12ButG1161 whenG3753 theyG2532 believedG4100 PhilipG5376 preachingG2097 goodG2097 tidings concerningG4012 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG932 GodG2316 andG2532 theG3588 nameG3686 ofG932 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, theyG2532 were baptizedG907, bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135. 13AndG2532 SimonG4613 alsoG2532 himselfG846 believedG4100: andG2532 beingG1510 baptizedG907, heG2532 continuedG4342 withG2532 PhilipG5376; andG2532 beholding signsG4592 andG2532 greatG3173 miraclesG1411 wrought, heG2532 wasG1510 amazedG1839. 14NowG1161 whenG2532 theG3588 apostlesG652 whichG3748 were at JerusalemG2414 heardG191 thatG3754 SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 GodG2316, theyG846 sentG649 unto themG846 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491: 15whoG3748, whenG4336 theyG846 were comeG2597 downG2597, prayedG4336 forG4012 themG846, thatG3704 theyG846 might receiveG2983 theG2983 HolyG40 Ghost: 16forG1063 asG1519 yetG1161 heG846 wasG1510 fallenG1968 uponG1909 noneG3762 ofG2962 themG846: onlyG3440 theyG846 had beenG1510 baptizedG907 intoG1519 theG3588 nameG3686 ofG2962 theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424. 17ThenG2532 laidG2007 theyG846 theirG846 handsG5495 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 theyG846 receivedG2983 theG3588 HolyG40 Ghost. 18NowG1161 whenG1161 SimonG4613 sawG3708 thatG3754 throughG1223 theG3588 layingG1936 onG5495 ofG4151 theG3588 apostles’G652 handsG5495 theG3588 Holy Ghost was givenG1325, heG846 offeredG4374 themG846 moneyG5536, 19sayingG3004, GiveG1325 meG1325 alsoG2504 thisG3778 powerG1849, thatG3739 onG1849 whomsoever IG3739 layG2007 myG1325 handsG5495, heG3739 mayG2443 receiveG2983 theG3588 HolyG40 Ghost. 20ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG3004 unto himG846, Thy silverG694 perishG684 withG4862 thee, becauseG3754 thou hast thoughtG3543 toG1519 obtainG2932 theG3588 giftG1431 ofG1223 GodG2316 withG4862 moneyG694. 21Thou hast neitherG3756 partG3310 norG3761 lotG2819 inG1722 thisG3778 matterG3056: forG1063 thy heartG2588 isG1510 notG3756 rightG2117 beforeG1725 GodG2316. 22RepentG3340 thereforeG3767 ofG575 thisG3778 thy wickednessG2549, andG2532 prayG1189 theG3588 LordG2962, ifG1487 perhapsG686 theG3588 thought ofG575 thy heartG2588 shallG3778 beG2532 forgivenG863 thee. 23ForG1063 IG2532 seeG3708 thatG3708 thou art inG1519 theG2532 gallG5521 ofG1519 bitternessG4088 andG2532 inG1519 theG2532 bondG4886 ofG1519 iniquityG93. 24AndG1161 SimonG4613 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004, PrayG1189 ye forG5228 meG3004 toG4314 theG3588 LordG2962, thatG3739 none ofG2962 theG3588 thingsG3739 whichG3739 ye have spokenG3004 comeG1904 uponG1909 meG3004. 25TheyG3767 thereforeG3767, whenG2532 theyG3767 had testifiedG1263 andG2532 spokenG2980 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 theG3588 LordG2962, returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 preachedG2097 theG3588 gospelG2097 toG1519 manyG4183 villagesG2968 ofG3056 theG3588 SamaritansG4541. 26ButG1161 anG1510 angelG32 ofG575 theG3588 LordG2962 spake unto PhilipG5376, sayingG3004, AriseG450, andG2532 goG4198 towardG1519 theG3588 southG3314 unto theG3588 wayG3598 thatG3004 goeth downG2597 fromG575 JerusalemG2419 unto GazaG1048: theG3588 sameG3778 isG1510 desertG2048. 27AndG2532 heG2532 aroseG450 andG2532 wentG2064: andG2532 beholdG2400, aG1510 manG435 ofG435 Ethiopia, aG1510 eunuchG2135 ofG435 greatG3956 authority underG1909 CandaceG2582, queenG938 ofG435 theG3956 EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 wasG1510 overG1909 allG3956 herG846 treasureG1047, whoG3739 hadG1510 comeG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 forG1519 toG1519 worshipG4352; 28andG2532 heG2532 wasG1510 returningG5290 andG2532 sittingG2521 inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716, andG2532 wasG1510 readingG314 theG3588 prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268. 29AndG2532 theG3588 SpiritG4151 saidG3004 unto PhilipG5376, GoG4334 nearG4334, andG2532 joinG2853 thyself toG3004 thisG3778 chariotG716. 30AndG2532 PhilipG5376 ranG4370 toG3004 himG846, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 readingG314 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396, andG2532 saidG3004, Understandest thou whatG3739 thou readest? 31AndG1161 heG846 saidG3004, HowG4459 canG1410 IG1473, exceptG3361 someG5100 oneG5100 shall guideG3594 meG3004? AndG1161 heG846 besought PhilipG5376 toG3004 comeG305 upG305 andG1161 sitG2523 withG4862 himG846. 32NowG1161 theG3588 place ofG1909 theG3588 scriptureG1124 whichG3739 heG2532 wasG1510 readingG314 wasG1510 thisG3778, HeG2532 wasG1510 ledG71 asG5613 a sheepG4263 toG1909 theG3588 slaughterG4967; AndG2532 asG5613 a lambG286 beforeG1909 hisG846 shearerG2751 isG1510 dumb, SoG2532 heG2532 openeth notG3756 hisG846 mouthG4750: 33InG1722 hisG846 humiliationG5014 hisG846 judgmentG2920 was takenG142 awayG142: HisG846 generationG1074 whoG3588 shall declareG1334? ForG3754 hisG846 lifeG2222 is takenG142 fromG575 theG3588 earthG1093. 34AndG1161 theG3588 eunuchG2135 answeredG611 PhilipG5376, andG1161 saidG3004, IG3778 prayG1189 thee, ofG5100 whomG5101 speaketh theG3588 prophetG4396 thisG3778? ofG5100 himselfG1438, orG2228 ofG5100 someG5100 otherG2087? 35AndG2532 PhilipG5376 openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beginningG757 fromG575 thisG3778 scriptureG1124, preachedG2097 unto himG846 JesusG2424. 36AndG2532 asG5613 theyG2532 wentG2064 onG1909 theG3588 wayG3598, theyG2532 cameG2064 unto a certainG5100 waterG5204; andG2532 theG3588 eunuchG2135 saith, BeholdG2400, hereG2400 is waterG5204; whatG5101 doth hinderG2967 meG1473 toG1909 beG2532 baptizedG907? 371 38AndG2532 heG2532 commandedG2753 theG3588 chariotG716 toG1519 standG2476 stillG2476: andG2532 theyG846 bothG5037 wentG2597 downG2597 intoG1519 theG3588 waterG5204, bothG5037 PhilipG5376 andG2532 theG3588 eunuchG2135; andG2532 heG2532 baptizedG907 himG846. 39AndG2532 whenG3753 theyG846 cameG305 upG305 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 waterG5204, theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG1537 theG3588 LordG2962 caughtG726 awayG726 PhilipG5376; andG2532 theG3588 eunuchG2135 sawG3708 himG846 noG3756 moreG3765, forG1063 heG2532 wentG4198 onG1537 hisG846 wayG3598 rejoicingG5463. 40ButG1161 PhilipG5376 was foundG2147 at AzotusG108: andG2532 passingG1330 throughG1330 heG2532 preachedG2097 theG3956 gospelG2097 toG1519 allG3956 theG3956 citiesG4172, till heG2532 cameG2064 toG1519 CaesareaG2542.
