1
Saul
was in hearty agreement
with putting him to death.
And on that day
a great
persecution
began
against
the church
in Jerusalem,
and they were all
scattered
throughout
the regions
of Judea
and Samaria,
except
the apostles.
2
Some devout
men
buried
Stephen,
and made
loud
la
men
tation
over
him.
3
But Saul
began ravaging
the church,
entering
house
after
house
,
and dragging
off men
and women,
he would put
them in prison.
4
Therefore,
those
who had been scattered
went about
preaching
the word.
5
Philip
went down
to the city
of Samaria
and began proclaiming
Christ
to them.
6
The crowds
with one accord
were giving attention
to what was said
by Philip,
as they heard
and saw
the signs
which
he was performing.
7
For in the case of many
who had
unclean
spirits,
they were coming
out of them shouting
with a loud
voice;
and many
who had
been paralyzed
and lame
were healed.
8
So
there was much
rejoicing
in that city.
9
Now
there was a man
named
Simon,
who formerly
was practicing magic
in the city
and astonishing
the people
of Samaria,
claiming
to be someone
great;
10
and they all,
from smallest
to greatest,
were giving attention
to him, saying,
"This man
is what is called
the Great
Power
of God."
11
And they were giving him attention
because
he had for a long
time
astonished
them with his magic arts.
12
But when
they believed
Philip
preaching the good news
about
the kingdom
of God
and the name
of Jesus
Christ,
they were being baptized,
men
and women
alike.
13
Even
Simon
himself
believed;
and after being baptized,
he continued
on with Philip,
and as he observed
signs
and great
miracles
taking place,
he was constantly amazed.
14
Now
when the apostles
in Jerusalem
heard
that Samaria
had received
the word
of God,
they sent
them Peter
and John,
15
who
came down
and prayed
for them that they might receive
the Holy
Spirit.
16
For He had not yet
fallen
upon any
of them; they had simply
been
baptized
in the name
of the Lord
Jesus.
17
Then
they began laying
their hands
on them, and they were receiving
the Holy
Spirit.
18
Now
when Simon
saw
that the Spirit
was bestowed
through
the laying
on of the apostles'
hands,
he offered
them money,
19
saying,
"Give
this
authority
to me as well,
so
that everyone
on whom
I lay
my hands
may receive
the Holy
Spirit."
20
But Peter
said
to him, "May your silver
perish
with you, because
you thought
you could obtain
the gift
of God
with money!
21
"You have no
part
or
p
or
tion
in this
matter,
f
or
your heart
is not right
bef
or
e
God.
22
"Therefore
repent
of this
wickedness
of yours,
and pray
the Lord
that, if
possible,
the intention
of your heart
may be forgiven
you.
23
"For I see
that you are in the gall
of bitterness
and in the bondage
of iniquity."
24
But Simon
answered
and said,
"Pray
to the Lord
for me yourselves,
so
that nothing
of what
you have said
may come
upon me."
25
So,
when they had solemnly testified
and spoken
the word
of the Lord,
they started back
to Jerusalem,
and were preaching the gospel
to many
villages
of the Samaritans.
26
But an angel
of the Lord
spoke
to Philip
saying,
"Get
up and go
south
to the road
that descends
from Jerusalem
to Gaza."
(This
is a desert
road.)
27
So
he got
up and went;
and there was an Ethiopian
eunuch,
a court official
of Candace,
queen
of the Ethiopians,
who
was in charge
of all
her treasure;
and he had come
to Jerusalem
to worship,
28
and he was returning
and sitting
in his chariot,
and was reading
the prophet
Isaiah.
29
Then
the Spirit
said
to Philip,
"Go
up and join
this
chariot."
30
Philip
ran
up and heard
him reading
Isaiah
the prophet,
and said,
"Do you understand
what
you are reading?"
31
And he said,
"Well,
how
could
I, unless
someone
guides
me?" And he invited
Philip
to come
up and sit
with him.
32
Now
the passage
of Scripture
which
he was reading
was this:
"HE WAS LED
AS A SHEEP
TO SLAUGHTER;
AND AS A LAMB
BEFORE
ITS SHEARER
IS SILENT,
SO
HE DOES NOT OPEN
HIS MOUTH.
33
"IN HUMILIATION
HIS JUDGMENT
WAS TAKEN
AWAY;
WHO
WILL RELATE
HIS GENERATION?
FOR HIS LIFE
IS REMOVED
FROM THE EARTH."
34
The eunuch
answered
Philip
and said,
"Please
tell me, of whom
does the prophet
say
this?
Of himself
or
of someone
else?"
35
Then
Philip
opened
his mouth,
and beginning
from this
Scripture
he preached
Jesus
to him.
36
As they went
along
the road
they came
to some
water;
and the eunuch
said,
"Look!
Water!
What
prevents
me from being baptized?"
37
And Philip
said,
"If
you believe
with all
your heart,
you may."
And he answered
and
said,
"I believe
that Jesus
Christ
is the Son
of God."
38
And he ordered
the chariot
to stop;
and they both
went down
into the water,
Philip
as well
as the eunuch,
and he baptized
him.
39
When
they came
up out of the water,
the Spirit
of the Lord
snatched
Philip
away;
and the eunuch
no longer
saw
him, but went
on his way
rejoicing.
40
But Philip
found
himself at Azotus,
and as he passed through
he kept preaching the gospel
to all
the cities
until
he came
to Caesarea.
