Book 44 : ACTS - Chapter 008

008:001

And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him

008:002

As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison

008:003

Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word

008:004

Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them

008:005

And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did

008:006

For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed

008:007

And there was great joy in that city

008:008

But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one

008:009

To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God

008:010

And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries

008:011

But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women

008:012

Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done

008:013

Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John

008:014

Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost

008:015

(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

008:016

Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost

008:017

And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money

008:018

Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost

008:019

But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money

008:020

Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God

008:021

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee

008:022

For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity

008:023

Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me

008:024

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

008:025

And the 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

008:026

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 worship

008:027

Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet

008:028

Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot

008:029

And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest

008:030

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

008:031

The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth

008:032

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth

008:033

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man

008:034

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus

008:035

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

008:036

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God

008:037

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him

008:038

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing

008:039

But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea
