| [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. |
[1]And Saul consented to his death, and at that time, there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad through the regions of Judea and of Samaria, except the Apostles. |
| [2]AndG1161 devoutG2126 menG435 carriedG4792[G5656] StephenG4736 to his burial, andG2532 madeG4160[G5668] greatG3173 lamentationG2870 overG1909 himG846. |
[2]Then certain men fearing God, carried Steven among them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him. |
| [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. |
[3]But Saul made havoc of the Church, and entered into every house, and drew out both men and women, and put them into prison. |
| [4]ThereforeG3767[G3303] they that were scattered abroadG1289[G5651] went every whereG1330[G5627] preachingG2097[G5734] the wordG3056. |
[4]Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and fro preaching the word. |
| [5]ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 went downG2718[G5631] toG1519 the cityG4172 of SamariaG4540, and preachedG2784[G5707] ChristG5547 unto themG846. |
[5]Â Then came Philip into the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. |
| [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] |
[6]And the people gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, with one accord, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. |
| [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] |
[7]For unclean spirits crying with a loud voice, came out of many that were possessed of them: and many taken with palsies, and that halted, were healed. |
| [8]AndG2532 there wasG1096[G5633] greatG3173 joyG5479 inG1722 thatG1565 cityG4172. |
[8]And there was great joy in that city. |
| [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: |
[9]And there was before in the city a certain man called Simon, which used witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying, that he himself was some great man. |
| [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. |
[10]To whom they gave heed from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. |
| [11]AndG1161 to himG846 they had regardG4337[G5707], becauseG1223 that of longG2425 timeG5550 he had bewitchedG1839[G5760] themG846 with sorceriesG3095. |
[11]And they gave heed unto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. |
| [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. |
[12]But as soon as they believed Philip, which preached the things that concerned the kingdom of God, and in the Name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women. |
| [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] |
[13]Then Simon himself believed also and was baptized, and continued with Philip, and wondered, when he saw the signs and great miracles which were done. |
| [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: |
[14]Â Now when the Apostles, which were at Jerusalem, heard say, that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. |
| [15]WhoG3748, when they were come downG2597[G5631], prayedG4336[G5662] forG4012 themG846, thatG3704 they might receiveG2983[G5632] the HolyG40 GhostG4151: |
[15]Which when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. |
| [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.) |
[16](For as yet, he was come down on none of them, but they were baptized only in the Name of the Lord Jesus.) |
| [17]ThenG5119 laid theyG2007[G5707] their handsG5495 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 they receivedG2983[G5707] the HolyG40 GhostG4151. |
[17]Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. |
| [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, |
[18]And when Simon saw, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, |
| [19]SayingG3004[G5723], GiveG1325[G5628] me alsoG2504 thisG5026 powerG1849, thatG2443 onG2007 whomsoeverG3739[G1437] I layG2007[G5632] handsG5495, he may receiveG2983[G5725] the HolyG40 GhostG4151. |
[19]Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. |
| [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. |
[20]Then said Peter unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obtained with money. |
| [21]ThouG4671 hastG2076[G5748] neitherG3756 partG3310 norG3761 lotG2819 inG1722 thisG5129 matterG3056: forG1063 thyG4675 heartG2588 isG2076[G5748] notG3756 rightG2117 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. |
[21]Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this business: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God. |
| [22]RepentG3340[G5657] thereforeG3767 ofG575 thisG5026 thyG4675 wickednessG2549, andG2532 prayG1189[G5676] GodG2316, ifG1487 perhapsG686 the thoughtG1963 of thineG4675 heartG2588 may be forgivenG863[G5701] theeG4671. |
[22]Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. |
| [23]ForG1063 I perceiveG3708[G5719] that thouG4571 artG5607[G5752] inG1519 the gallG5521 of bitternessG4088, andG2532 in the bondG4886 of iniquityG93. |
[23]For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. |
| [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. |
[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, 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. |
[25]Â So they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Gospel in many towns of the Samaritans. |
| [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. |
[26]Then 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 waste. |
| [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 |
[27]And he arose and went on: and behold, a certain Eunuch of Ethiopia Candaces' the Queen of the Ethiopian's chief Governor, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Jerusalem to worship: |
| [28][G5037]WasG2258[G5713] returningG5290[G5723], andG2532 sittingG2521[G5740] inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716[G2532] readG314[G5707] EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396. |
[28]And as he returned sitting in his chariot, he read Isaiah the Prophet. |
| [29]ThenG1161 the SpiritG4151 saidG2036[G5627] unto PhilipG5376, Go nearG4334[G5628], andG2532 join thyself toG2853[G5682] thisG5129 chariotG716. |
[29]Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near and join thyself to yonder chariot. |
| [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] |
[30]And Philip ran thither, and heard him read the Prophet Isaiah, and said, But understandest thou what thou readest? |
| [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. |
[31]And he said, How can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come up and sit with him. |
| [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: |
[32]Now 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. |
| [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. |
[33]In his humility his judgment hath been exalted: but who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. |
| [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? |
[34]Then the Eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee of whom speaketh the Prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? |
| [35]ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 openedG455[G5660] hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beganG756[G5671] atG575 the sameG5026 scriptureG1124, and preachedG2097[G5668] unto himG846 JesusG2424. |
[35]Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. |
| [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] |
[36]And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water, and the Eunuch said, See, here is water: what doth let me to be baptized? |
| [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. |
[37]And Philip said unto him, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and said, I believe that that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. |
| [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. |
[38]Then he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuch, and he baptized him. |
| [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] |
[39]And as soon as they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuch saw him no more: so he went on his way rejoicing. |
| [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. |
[40]But Philip was found at Azotus, and he walked to and fro preaching in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea. |
