Acts 8:6-11

6The crowds were paying close attention to what Philip was saying—as they both heard and saw the signs that he was doing.

7For unclean spirits were coming out of many who were plagued, shrieking with a loud voice. Many paralyzed and crippled were healed also.

8So there was great joy in that city.

9Now a man named Simon had been practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying he was someone great.

10They all were paying special attention to him, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called ‘Great.’”

11And they kept paying attention to him, because for a long time he had astonished them with his magical arts.
