[1]AndG1161 SaulG4569 wasG2258[G5713] consentingG4909[G5723] unto hisG846 deathG336. AndG1161 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2250 there wasG1096[G5633] a greatG3173 persecutionG1375 againstG1909 the churchG1577 whichG3588 was atG1722 JerusalemG2414; andG5037 they wereG1289 allG3956 scattered abroadG1289[G5681] throughoutG2596 the regionsG5561 of JudaeaG2449 andG2532 SamariaG4540, exceptG4133 the apostlesG652.
[2]AndG1161 devoutG2126 menG435 carriedG4792[G5656] StephenG4736 to his burial, andG2532 madeG4160[G5668] greatG3173 lamentationG2870 overG1909 himG846.
[3]AsG1161 for SaulG4569, he made havockG3075[G5711] of the churchG1577, entering intoG1531[G5740] everyG2596 houseG3624, and halingG4951[G5723][G5037] menG435 andG2532 womenG1135 committedG3860[G5707] them toG1519 prisonG5438.
[4]ThereforeG3767[G3303] they that were scattered abroadG1289[G5651] went every whereG1330[G5627] preachingG2097[G5734] the wordG3056.
[5]ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 went downG2718[G5631] toG1519 the cityG4172 of SamariaG4540, and preachedG2784[G5707] ChristG5547 unto themG846.
[6]AndG5037 the peopleG3793 with one accordG3661 gave heedG4337[G5707] unto those things which PhilipG5376 spakeG3004[G5746][G5259], hearingG1722[G191][G5721][G846] andG2532 seeingG991[G5721] the miraclesG4592 whichG3739 he didG4160.[G5707]
[7]ForG1063 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, cryingG994[G5723] with loudG3173 voiceG5456, came outG1831[G5711] of manyG4183 that were possessedG2192[G5723] with them: andG1161 manyG4183 taken with palsiesG3886[G5772], andG2532 that were lameG5560, were healedG2323.[G5681]
[8]AndG2532 there wasG1096[G5633] greatG3173 joyG5479 inG1722 thatG1565 cityG4172.
[9]ButG1161 there was a certainG5100 manG435, calledG3686 SimonG4613, which beforetimeG4391[G5707] inG1722 the same cityG4172 used sorceryG3096[G5723], andG2532 bewitchedG1839[G5723] the peopleG1484 of SamariaG4540, giving outG3004[G5723] that himselfG1438 wasG1511[G5750] someG5100 great oneG3173:
[10]To whomG3739 they allG3956 gave heedG4337[G5707], fromG575 the leastG3398 toG2193 the greatestG3173, sayingG3004[G5723], This manG3778 isG2076[G5748] the greatG3173 powerG1411 of GodG2316.
[11]AndG1161 to himG846 they had regardG4337[G5707], becauseG1223 that of longG2425 timeG5550 he had bewitchedG1839[G5760] themG846 with sorceriesG3095.
[12]ButG1161 whenG3753 they believedG4100[G5656] PhilipG5376 preachingG2097[G5734] the things concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG2532 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they were baptizedG907[G5712], bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135.
[13]ThenG1161 SimonG4613 himselfG846 believedG4100[G5656] alsoG2532: andG2532 when he was baptizedG907[G5685], he continuedG2258[G5713][G4342][G5723] with PhilipG5376, andG5037 wonderedG1839[G5710], beholdingG2334[G5723] the miraclesG1411 andG2532 signsG4592[G3173] which were doneG1096[G5740][G5625][G1096].[G5740]
[14]NowG1161 when the apostlesG652 whichG3588 were atG1722 JerusalemG2414 heardG191[G5660] thatG3754 SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209[G5766] the wordG3056 of GodG2316, they sentG649[G5656] untoG4314 themG846 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491:
[15]WhoG3748, when they were come downG2597[G5631], prayedG4336[G5662] forG4012 themG846, thatG3704 they might receiveG2983[G5632] the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
[16](ForG1063 as yetG3768 he wasG2258[G5713] fallenG1968[G5761] uponG1909 noneG3762 of themG846: onlyG3440[G1161] they wereG5225[G5707] baptizedG907[G5772] inG1519 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.)
[17]ThenG5119 laid theyG2007[G5707] their handsG5495 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 they receivedG2983[G5707] the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
[18]AndG1161 when SimonG4613 sawG2300[G5666] thatG3754 throughG1223 laying onG1936 of the apostles'G652 handsG5495 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 was givenG1325[G5743], he offeredG4374[G5656] themG846 moneyG5536,
[19]SayingG3004[G5723], GiveG1325[G5628] me alsoG2504 thisG5026 powerG1849, thatG2443 onG2007 whomsoeverG3739[G1437] I layG2007[G5632] handsG5495, he may receiveG2983[G5725] the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
[20]ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 himG846, ThyG4675 moneyG694 perishG1498[G5751][G1519][G684] withG4862 theeG4671, becauseG3754 thou hast thoughtG3543[G5656] that the giftG1431 of GodG2316 may be purchasedG2932[G5738] withG1223 moneyG5536.
[21]ThouG4671 hastG2076[G5748] neitherG3756 partG3310 norG3761 lotG2819 inG1722 thisG5129 matterG3056: forG1063 thyG4675 heartG2588 isG2076[G5748] notG3756 rightG2117 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
[22]RepentG3340[G5657] thereforeG3767 ofG575 thisG5026 thyG4675 wickednessG2549, andG2532 prayG1189[G5676] GodG2316, ifG1487 perhapsG686 the thoughtG1963 of thineG4675 heartG2588 may be forgivenG863[G5701] theeG4671.
[23]ForG1063 I perceiveG3708[G5719] that thouG4571 artG5607[G5752] inG1519 the gallG5521 of bitternessG4088, andG2532 in the bondG4886 of iniquityG93.
[24]ThenG1161 answeredG611[G5679] SimonG4613, and saidG2036[G5627], PrayG1189[G5676] yeG5210 toG4314 the LordG2962 forG5228 meG1700, thatG3704 none of these thingsG3367 whichG3739 ye have spokenG2046[G5758] comeG1904[G5632] uponG1909 meG1691.
[25]And they, whenG3303[G3767] they had testifiedG1263[G5666] andG2532 preachedG2980[G5660] the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, returnedG5290[G5656] toG1519 JerusalemG2419, andG5037 preached the gospelG2097[G5668] in manyG4183 villagesG2968 of the SamaritansG4541.
[26]AndG1161 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 spakeG2980[G5656] untoG4314 PhilipG5376, sayingG3004[G5723], AriseG450[G5628], andG2532 goG4198[G5737] towardG2596 the southG3314 untoG1909 the wayG3598 that goeth downG2597[G5723] fromG575 JerusalemG2419 untoG1519 GazaG1048, whichG3778 isG2076[G5748] desertG2048.
[27]AndG2532 he aroseG450[G5631] and wentG4198[G5675]: andG2532, beholdG2400[G5628], a manG435 of EthiopiaG128, an eunuchG2135 of great authorityG1413 under CandaceG2582 queenG938 of the EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 hadG2258[G5713] the charge ofG1909 allG3956 herG846 treasureG1047, andG3739 had comeG2064[G5715] toG1519 JerusalemG2419 G4352for to worshipG5694
[28][G5037]WasG2258[G5713] returningG5290[G5723], andG2532 sittingG2521[G5740] inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716[G2532] readG314[G5707] EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396.
[29]ThenG1161 the SpiritG4151 saidG2036[G5627] unto PhilipG5376, Go nearG4334[G5628], andG2532 join thyself toG2853[G5682] thisG5129 chariotG716.
[30]AndG1161 PhilipG5376 ranG4370[G5631] thither to him, and heardG191[G5656] himG846 readG314[G5723] the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, andG2532 saidG2036[G5627], Understandest thouG687[G1065][G1097][G5719] whatG3739 thou readestG314?[G5719]
[31]AndG1161 he saidG2036[G5627], HowG1063[G4459] can IG302[G1410][G5739], exceptG3362 some manG5100 should guideG3594[G5661] meG3165? AndG5037 he desiredG3870[G5656] PhilipG5376 that he would come upG305[G5631] and sitG2523[G5658] withG4862 himG846.
[32][G1161]The placeG4042 of the scriptureG1124 whichG3739 he readG314[G5707] wasG2258[G5713] thisG3778, He was ledG71[G5681] asG5613 a sheepG4263 toG1909 the slaughterG4967; andG2532 likeG5613 a lambG286 dumbG880 beforeG1726 hisG846 shearerG2751[G5723], soG3779 opened heG455[G5719] notG3756 hisG846 mouthG4750:
[33]InG1722 hisG846 humiliationG5014 hisG846 judgmentG2920 was taken awayG142[G5681]: andG1161 whoG5101 shall declareG1334[G5695] hisG846 generationG1074? forG3754 hisG846 lifeG2222 is takenG142[G5743] fromG575 the earthG1093.
[34]AndG1161 the eunuchG2135 answeredG611[G5679] PhilipG5376, and saidG2036[G5627], I prayG1189[G5736] theeG4675, ofG4012 whomG5101 speakethG3004[G5719] the prophetG4396 thisG5124? ofG4012 himselfG1438, orG2228 ofG4012 someG5100 other manG2087?
[35]ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 openedG455[G5660] hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beganG756[G5671] atG575 the sameG5026 scriptureG1124, and preachedG2097[G5668] unto himG846 JesusG2424.
[36]AndG1161 asG5613 they wentG4198[G5711] onG2596 their wayG3598, they cameG2064[G5627] untoG1909 a certainG5100 waterG5204: andG2532 the eunuchG2135 saidG5346[G5748], SeeG2400[G5628], here is waterG5204; whatG5101 doth hinderG2967[G5719] meG3165 to be baptizedG907?[G5683]
[37]AndG1161 PhilipG5376 saidG2036[G5627], IfG1487 thou believestG4100[G5719] withG1537 all thineG3650 heartG2588, thou mayestG1832[G5748]. AndG1161 he answeredG611[G5679] and saidG2036[G5627], I believeG4100[G5719] that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG1511[G5750] the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
[38]AndG2532 he commandedG2753[G5656] the chariotG716 to stand stillG2476[G5629]: andG2532 they went downG2597[G5627] bothG297 intoG1519 the waterG5204, bothG5037 PhilipG5376 andG2532 the eunuchG2135; andG2532 he baptizedG907[G5656] himG846.
[39]AndG1161 whenG3753 they were come upG305[G5627] out ofG1537 the waterG5204, the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 caught awayG726[G5656] PhilipG5376,[G2532] that the eunuchG2135 sawG1492[G5627][G3756] himG846 no moreG3765: andG1063 he wentG4198[G5711] on hisG846 wayG3598 rejoicingG5463.[G5723]
[40]ButG1161 PhilipG5376 was foundG2147[G5681] atG1519 AzotusG108: andG2532 passingG1330[G5740] through he preachedG2097[G5710] in allG3956 the citiesG4172, tillG2193 heG846 cameG2064[G5629] toG1519 CaesareaG2542.
