Acts 8:9-25

9ButG1161 there was a certainG5100 manG435, calledG3686 SimonG4613, who beforeG4391 inG1722 the same cityG4172 used sorceryG3096, andG2532 bewitchedG1839 the peopleG1484 of SamariaG4540, sayingG3004 that heG1438 wasG1511 someG5100 great personG3173: 10To whomG3739 they allG3956 gave heedG4337, fromG575 the leastG3398 toG2193 the greatestG3173, sayingG3004, This manG3778 isG2076 the greatG3173 powerG1411 of GodG2316. 11AndG1161 to himG846 they had regardG4337, becauseG1223 that for a longG2425 timeG5550 he had bewitchedG1839 themG846 with sorceriesG3095. 12ButG1161 whenG3753 they believedG4100 PhilipG5376 preachingG2097 the things concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG2532 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they were baptizedG907, bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135. 13ThenG1161 SimonG4613 himselfG846 believedG4100 alsoG2532: andG2532 when he was baptizedG907, he continuedG2258G4342 with PhilipG5376, andG5037 was amazedG1839, beholdingG2334 the miraclesG1411 andG2532 signsG4592G3173 which were doneG1096.1

14NowG1161 when the apostlesG652 whoG3588 were atG1722 JerusalemG2414 heardG191 thatG3754 SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, they sentG649 toG4314 themG846 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491: 15WhoG3748, when they had come downG2597, prayedG4336 forG4012 themG846, thatG3704 they might receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151: 16(ForG1063 as yetG3768 he hadG2258 fallenG1968 uponG1909 noneG3762 of themG846: onlyG3440G1161 they wereG5225 baptizedG907 inG1519 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.) 17ThenG5119 they laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 they receivedG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 18AndG1161 when SimonG4613 sawG2300 thatG3754 throughG1223 laying onG1936 of the apostlesG652’ handsG5495 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 was givenG1325, he offeredG4374 themG846 moneyG5536, 19SayingG3004, GiveG1325 me alsoG2504 thisG5026 powerG1849, thatG2443 onG2007 whomeverG3739G1437 I layG2007 handsG5495, he may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 20ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036 toG4314 himG846, ThyG4675 moneyG694 perishG1498G1519G684 withG4862 theeG4671, becauseG3754 thou hast thoughtG3543 that the giftG1431 of GodG2316 may be purchasedG2932 withG1223 moneyG5536. 21ThouG4671 hastG2076 neitherG3756 partG3310 norG3761 lotG2819 inG1722 thisG5129 matterG3056: forG1063 thyG4675 heartG2588 isG2076 notG3756 rightG2117 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. 22RepentG3340 thereforeG3767 ofG575 thisG5026 thyG4675 wickednessG2549, andG2532 prayG1189 GodG2316, ifG1487 perhapsG686 the thoughtG1963 of thyG4675 heartG2588 may be forgivenG863 theeG4671. 23ForG1063 I perceiveG3708 that thouG4571 artG5607 inG1519 the gallG5521 of bitternessG4088, andG2532 in the bondG4886 of iniquityG93. 24ThenG1161 answeredG611 SimonG4613, and saidG2036, PrayG1189 yeG5210 toG4314 the LordG2962 forG5228 meG1700, thatG3704 none of these thingsG3367 whichG3739 ye have spokenG2046 comeG1904 uponG1909 meG1691. 25And they, whenG3303G3767 they had testifiedG1263 andG2532 preachedG2980 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, andG5037 preached the gospelG2097 in manyG4183 villagesG2968 of the SamaritansG4541.
