Acts 8
And
Saul
was
consenting
unto
his
death.
And
at
that
time
there
was
a
great
a
persecution
against
the
b
church
which
was
at
Jerusalem;
and
they
were
all
scattered
abroad
throughout
the
regions
of
Judaea
and
Samaria,
except
the
apostles.
2 And
devout
men
carried
Stephen
to
his
burial,
and
made
great
a
lamentation
over
him.
3 As
for
Saul,
he
made
a
havoc
of
the
church,
entering
into
every
house,
and
haling
men
and
women
committed
them
to
b
prison.
4 Therefore
they
that
were
scattered
abroad
went
every
where
preaching
the
word.
5 Then
Philip
went
down
to
the
city
of
a
Samaria,
and
preached
Christ
unto
them.
6 And
the
people
with
one
accord
gave
heed
unto
those
things
which
Philip
a
spake,
hearing
and
seeing
the
miracles
which
he
did.
7 For
a
unclean
spirits,
crying
with
loud
voice,
came
out
of
many
that
were
possessed
with
them:
and
many
b
taken
with
palsies,
and
that
were
lame,
were
c
healed.
8 And
there
was
great
joy
in
that
city.
9 But
there
was
a
certain
man,
called
Simon,
which
beforetime
in
the
same
city
used
a
sorcery,
and
b
bewitched
the
people
of
Samaria,
giving
out
that
himself
was
some
c
great
one:
10 To
whom
they
all
gave
heed,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest,
saying,
This
man
is
the
great
power
of
God.
11 And
to
him
they
had
regard,
because
that
of
long
time
he
had
bewitched
them
with
sorceries.
12 But
when
they
believed
Philip
a
preaching
the
things
concerning
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
the
b
name
of
Jesus
Christ,
they
were
c
baptized,
both
men
and
women.
13 Then
Simon
himself
believed
also:
and
when
he
was
baptized,
he
continued
with
Philip,
and
a
wondered,
beholding
the
miracles
and
signs
which
were
done.
14 Now
when
the
apostles
which
were
at
Jerusalem
heard
that
Samaria
had
received
the
a
word
of
God,
they
sent
unto
them
Peter
and
John:
15 Who,
when
they
were
come
down,
prayed
for
them,
that
they
might
receive
the
Holy
Ghost:
16 (For
as
yet
he
was
fallen
upon
none
of
them:
only
they
were
baptized
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus.)
17 Then
a
laid
they
their
hands
on
them,
and
they
received
the
b
Holy
Ghost.
18 And
when
Simon
saw
that
through
a
laying
on
of
the
apostles'
hands
the
Holy
Ghost
was
given,
he
offered
them
money,
19 Saying,
Give
me
also
this
a
power,
that
on
whomsoever
I
lay
hands,
he
may
receive
the
Holy
Ghost.
20 But
Peter
said
unto
him,
Thy
money
perish
with
thee,
because
thou
hast
thought
that
the
a
gift
of
God
may
be
b
purchased
with
money.
21 Thou
hast
neither
part
nor
lot
in
this
matter:
for
thy
heart
is
not
a
right
in
the
sight
of
God.
22 Repent
therefore
of
this
thy
a
wickedness,
and
pray
God,
if
perhaps
the
b
thought
of
thine
c
heart
may
be
forgiven
thee.
23 For
I
perceive
that
thou
art
in
the
a
gall
of
bitterness,
and
in
the
b
bond
of
iniquity.
24 Then
answered
Simon,
and
said,
Pray
ye
to
the
Lord
for
me,
that
none
of
these
things
which
ye
have
spoken
come
upon
me.
25 And
they,
when
they
had
testified
and
preached
the
word
of
the
Lord,
returned
to
Jerusalem,
and
preached
the
gospel
in
many
villages
of
the
Samaritans.
26 And
the
a
angel
of
the
Lord
spake
unto
Philip,
saying,
Arise,
and
go
toward
the
south
unto
the
way
that
goeth
down
from
Jerusalem
unto
Gaza,
which
is
desert.
27 And
he
arose
and
went:
and,
behold,
a
man
of
Ethiopia,
an
eunuch
of
great
authority
under
Candace
queen
of
the
Ethiopians,
who
had
the
charge
of
all
her
treasure,
and
had
come
to
Jerusalem
for
to
a
worship,
28 Was
returning,
and
sitting
in
his
chariot
read
Esaias
the
prophet.
29 Then
the
a
Spirit
said
unto
Philip,
Go
near,
and
join
thyself
to
this
chariot.
30 And
Philip
ran
thither
to
him,
and
heard
him
read
the
prophet
Esaias,
and
said,
Understandest
thou
what
thou
readest?
31 And
he
said,
How
can
I,
except
some
man
should
guide
me?
And
he
desired
Philip
that
he
would
come
up
and
sit
with
him.
32 The
place
of
the
scripture
which
he
read
was
this,
He
was
led
as
a
sheep
to
the
slaughter;
and
like
a
a
lamb
dumb
before
his
shearer,
so
opened
he
not
his
mouth:
33 In
his
humiliation
his
judgment
was
taken
away:
and
who
shall
declare
his
generation?
for
his
life
is
taken
from
the
earth.
34 And
the
eunuch
answered
Philip,
and
said,
I
pray
thee,
of
whom
speaketh
the
prophet
this?
of
himself,
or
of
some
other
man?
35 Then
Philip
opened
his
mouth,
and
began
at
the
same
scripture,
and
preached
unto
him
a
Jesus.
36 And
as
they
went
on
their
way,
they
came
unto
a
certain
water:
and
the
eunuch
said,
See,
here
is
water;
what
doth
hinder
me
to
be
baptized?
37 And
Philip
said,
If
thou
a
believest
with
all
thine
heart,
thou
mayest.
And
he
answered
and
said,
I
believe
that
Jesus
Christ
is
the
Son
of
God.
38 And
he
commanded
the
chariot
to
stand
still:
and
they
went
down
both
into
the
water,
both
Philip
and
the
eunuch;
and
he
a
baptized
him.
39 And
when
they
were
come
up
out
of
the
water,
the
a
Spirit
of
the
Lord
caught
away
Philip,
that
the
eunuch
saw
him
no
more:
and
he
went
on
his
way
rejoicing.
40 But
Philip
was
found
at
Azotus:
and
passing
through
he
preached
in
all
the
cities,
till
he
came
to
a
Caesarea.
