1 And * g1161 Saul * g4569 was * g2258 g5713 consenting * g4909 g5723 unto his * g846 death * g336. And * g1161 at * g1722 that * g1565 time * g2250 there was * g1096 g5633 a great * g3173 persecution * g1375 against * g1909 the church * g1577 which * g3588 was at * g1722 Jerusalem * g2414; and * g5037 they were * g1289 all * g3956 scattered abroad * g1289 g5681 throughout * g2596 the regions * g5561 of Judaea * g2449 and * g2532 Samaria * g4540, except * g4133 the apostles * g652.
2 And * g1161 devout * g2126 men * g435 carried * g4792 g5656 Stephen * g4736 to his burial , and * g2532 made * g4160 g5668 great * g3173 lamentation * g2870 over * g1909 him * g846.
3 As * g1161 for Saul * g4569, he made havock * g3075 g5711 of the church * g1577, entering into * g1531 g5740 every * g2596 house * g3624, and haling * g4951 g5723 * g5037 men * g435 and * g2532 women * g1135 committed * g3860 g5707 them to * g1519 prison * g5438.
4 Therefore * g3767 * g3303 they that were scattered abroad * g1289 g5651 went every where * g1330 g5627 preaching * g2097 g5734 the word * g3056.
5 Then * g1161 Philip * g5376 went down * g2718 g5631 to * g1519 the city * g4172 of Samaria * g4540, and preached * g2784 g5707 Christ * g5547 unto them * g846.
6 And * g5037 the people * g3793 with one accord * g3661 gave heed * g4337 g5707 unto those things which Philip * g5376 spake * g3004 g5746 * g5259, hearing * g1722 * g191 g5721 * g846 and * g2532 seeing * g991 g5721 the miracles * g4592 which * g3739 he did * g4160 g5707.
7 For * g1063 unclean * g169 spirits * g4151, crying * g994 g5723 with loud * g3173 voice * g5456, came out * g1831 g5711 of many * g4183 that were possessed * g2192 g5723 with them : and * g1161 many * g4183 taken with palsies * g3886 g5772, and * g2532 that were lame * g5560, were healed * g2323 g5681.
8 And * g2532 there was * g1096 g5633 great * g3173 joy * g5479 in * g1722 that * g1565 city * g4172.
9 But * g1161 there was a certain * g5100 man * g435, called * g3686 Simon * g4613, which beforetime * g4391 g5707 in * g1722 the same city * g4172 used sorcery * g3096 g5723, and * g2532 bewitched * g1839 g5723 the people * g1484 of Samaria * g4540, giving out * g3004 g5723 that himself * g1438 was * g1511 g5750 some * g5100 great one * g3173:
10 To whom * g3739 they all * g3956 gave heed * g4337 g5707, from * g575 the least * g3398 to * g2193 the greatest * g3173, saying * g3004 g5723, This man * g3778 is * g2076 g5748 the great * g3173 power * g1411 of God * g2316.
11 And * g1161 to him * g846 they had regard * g4337 g5707, because * g1223 that of long * g2425 time * g5550 he had bewitched * g1839 g5760 them * g846 with sorceries * g3095.
12 But * g1161 when * g3753 they believed * g4100 g5656 Philip * g5376 preaching * g2097 g5734 the things concerning * g4012 the kingdom * g932 of God * g2316, and * g2532 the name * g3686 of Jesus * g2424 Christ * g5547, they were baptized * g907 g5712, both * g5037 men * g435 and * g2532 women * g1135.
13 Then * g1161 Simon * g4613 himself * g846 believed * g4100 g5656 also * g2532: and * g2532 when he was baptized * g907 g5685, he continued * g2258 g5713 * g4342 g5723 with Philip * g5376, and * g5037 wondered * g1839 g5710, beholding * g2334 g5723 the miracles * g1411 and * g2532 signs * g4592 * g3173 which were done * g1096 g5740 g5625 * g1096 g5740. miracles...: Gr. signs and great miracles
14 Now * g1161 when the apostles * g652 which * g3588 were at * g1722 Jerusalem * g2414 heard * g191 g5660 that * g3754 Samaria * g4540 had received * g1209 g5766 the word * g3056 of God * g2316, they sent * g649 g5656 unto * g4314 them * g846 Peter * g4074 and * g2532 John * g2491:
15 Who * g3748, when they were come down * g2597 g5631, prayed * g4336 g5662 for * g4012 them * g846, that * g3704 they might receive * g2983 g5632 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151:
16 (For * g1063 as yet * g3768 he was * g2258 g5713 fallen * g1968 g5761 upon * g1909 none * g3762 of them * g846: only * g3440 * g1161 they were * g5225 g5707 baptized * g907 g5772 in * g1519 the name * g3686 of the Lord * g2962 Jesus * g2424.)
17 Then * g5119 laid they * g2007 g5707 their hands * g5495 on * g1909 them * g846, and * g2532 they received * g2983 g5707 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151.
18 And * g1161 when Simon * g4613 saw * g2300 g5666 that * g3754 through * g1223 laying on * g1936 of the apostles * g652' hands * g5495 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 was given * g1325 g5743, he offered * g4374 g5656 them * g846 money * g5536,
19 Saying * g3004 g5723, Give * g1325 g5628 me also * g2504 this * g5026 power * g1849, that * g2443 on * g2007 whomsoever * g3739 * g1437 I lay * g2007 g5632 hands * g5495, he may receive * g2983 g5725 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151.
20 But * g1161 Peter * g4074 said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 him * g846, Thy * g4675 money * g694 perish * g1498 g5751 * g1519 * g684 with * g4862 thee * g4671, because * g3754 thou hast thought * g3543 g5656 that the gift * g1431 of God * g2316 may be purchased * g2932 g5738 with * g1223 money * g5536.
21 Thou * g4671 hast * g2076 g5748 neither * g3756 part * g3310 nor * g3761 lot * g2819 in * g1722 this * g5129 matter * g3056: for * g1063 thy * g4675 heart * g2588 is * g2076 g5748 not * g3756 right * g2117 in the sight * g1799 of God * g2316.
22 Repent * g3340 g5657 therefore * g3767 of * g575 this * g5026 thy * g4675 wickedness * g2549, and * g2532 pray * g1189 g5676 God * g2316, if * g1487 perhaps * g686 the thought * g1963 of thine * g4675 heart * g2588 may be forgiven * g863 g5701 thee * g4671.
23 For * g1063 I perceive * g3708 g5719 that thou * g4571 art g5607 g5752 in * g1519 the gall * g5521 of bitterness * g4088, and * g2532 in the bond * g4886 of iniquity * g93.
24 Then * g1161 answered * g611 g5679 Simon * g4613, and said * g2036 g5627, Pray * g1189 g5676 ye * g5210 to * g4314 the Lord * g2962 for * g5228 me * g1700, that * g3704 none of these things * g3367 which * g3739 ye have spoken * g2046 g5758 come * g1904 g5632 upon * g1909 me * g1691.
25 And they, when * g3303 * g3767 they had testified * g1263 g5666 and * g2532 preached * g2980 g5660 the word * g3056 of the Lord * g2962, returned * g5290 g5656 to * g1519 Jerusalem * g2419, and * g5037 preached the gospel * g2097 g5668 in many * g4183 villages * g2968 of the Samaritans * g4541.
26 And * g1161 the angel * g32 of the Lord * g2962 spake * g2980 g5656 unto * g4314 Philip * g5376, saying * g3004 g5723, Arise * g450 g5628, and * g2532 go * g4198 g5737 toward * g2596 the south * g3314 unto * g1909 the way * g3598 that goeth down * g2597 g5723 from * g575 Jerusalem * g2419 unto * g1519 Gaza * g1048, which * g3778 is * g2076 g5748 desert * g2048.
27 And * g2532 he arose * g450 g5631 and went * g4198 g5675: and * g2532, behold * g2400 g5628, a man * g435 of Ethiopia * g128, an eunuch * g2135 of great authority * g1413 under Candace * g2582 queen * g938 of the Ethiopians * g128, who * g3739 had * g2258 g5713 the charge of * g1909 all * g3956 her * g846 treasure * g1047, and * g3739 had come * g2064 g5715 to * g1519 Jerusalem * g2419 for to worship * g4352 g5694,
28 * g5037 Was * g2258 g5713 returning * g5290 g5723, and * g2532 sitting * g2521 g5740 in * g1909 his * g846 chariot * g716 * g2532 read * g314 g5707 Esaias * g2268 the prophet * g4396.
29 Then * g1161 the Spirit * g4151 said * g2036 g5627 unto Philip * g5376, Go near * g4334 g5628, and * g2532 join thyself to * g2853 g5682 this * g5129 chariot * g716.
30 And * g1161 Philip * g5376 ran * g4370 g5631 thither to him , and heard * g191 g5656 him * g846 read * g314 g5723 the prophet * g4396 Esaias * g2268, and * g2532 said * g2036 g5627, Understandest thou * g687 * g1065 * g1097 g5719 what * g3739 thou readest * g314 g5719?
31 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, How * g1063 * g4459 can I * g302 * g1410 g5739, except * g3362 some man * g5100 should guide * g3594 g5661 me * g3165? And * g5037 he desired * g3870 g5656 Philip * g5376 that he would come up * g305 g5631 and sit * g2523 g5658 with * g4862 him * g846.
32 * g1161 The place * g4042 of the scripture * g1124 which * g3739 he read * g314 g5707 was * g2258 g5713 this * g3778, He was led * g71 g5681 as * g5613 a sheep * g4263 to * g1909 the slaughter * g4967; and * g2532 like * g5613 a lamb * g286 dumb * g880 before * g1726 his * g846 shearer * g2751 g5723, so * g3779 opened he * g455 g5719 not * g3756 his * g846 mouth * g4750:
33 In * g1722 his * g846 humiliation * g5014 his * g846 judgment * g2920 was taken away * g142 g5681: and * g1161 who * g5101 shall declare * g1334 g5695 his * g846 generation * g1074? for * g3754 his * g846 life * g2222 is taken * g142 g5743 from * g575 the earth * g1093.
34 And * g1161 the eunuch * g2135 answered * g611 g5679 Philip * g5376, and said * g2036 g5627, I pray * g1189 g5736 thee * g4675, of * g4012 whom * g5101 speaketh * g3004 g5719 the prophet * g4396 this * g5124? of * g4012 himself * g1438, or * g2228 of * g4012 some * g5100 other man * g2087?
35 Then * g1161 Philip * g5376 opened * g455 g5660 his * g846 mouth * g4750, and * g2532 began * g756 g5671 at * g575 the same * g5026 scripture * g1124, and preached * g2097 g5668 unto him * g846 Jesus * g2424.
36 And * g1161 as * g5613 they went * g4198 g5711 on * g2596 their way * g3598, they came * g2064 g5627 unto * g1909 a certain * g5100 water * g5204: and * g2532 the eunuch * g2135 said * g5346 g5748, See * g2400 g5628, here is water * g5204; what * g5101 doth hinder * g2967 g5719 me * g3165 to be baptized * g907 g5683?
37 And * g1161 Philip * g5376 said * g2036 g5627, If * g1487 thou believest * g4100 g5719 with * g1537 all thine * g3650 heart * g2588, thou mayest * g1832 g5748. And * g1161 he answered * g611 g5679 and said * g2036 g5627, I believe * g4100 g5719 that Jesus * g2424 Christ * g5547 is * g1511 g5750 the Son * g5207 of God * g2316.
38 And * g2532 he commanded * g2753 g5656 the chariot * g716 to stand still * g2476 g5629: and * g2532 they went down * g2597 g5627 both * g297 into * g1519 the water * g5204, both * g5037 Philip * g5376 and * g2532 the eunuch * g2135; and * g2532 he baptized * g907 g5656 him * g846.
