Acts 8

8:1 And [1161] Saul [4569] was [2258] consenting [4909] (5723) unto his [846] death [336]. And [1161] at [1722] that [1565] time [2250] there was [1096] (5633) a great [3173] persecution [1375] against [1909] the church [1577] which [3588] was at [1722] Jerusalem [2414]; and [5037] they were [1289] [0] all [3956] scattered abroad [1289] (5681) throughout [2596] the regions [5561] of Judaea [2449] and [2532] Samaria [4540], except [4133] the apostles [652].

8:2 And [1161] devout [2126] men [435] carried [4792] Stephen [4736] [to his burial], and [2532] made [4160] (5668) great [3173] lamentation [2870] over [1909] him [846].

8:3 As [1161] for Saul [4569], he made havock [3075] of the church [1577], entering into [1531] (5740) (5734) every [2596] house [3624], and haling [4951] (5723) [5037] men [435] and [2532] women [1135] committed [3860] (5707) [them] to [1519] prison [5438].

8:4 Therefore [3767] [3303] they that were scattered abroad [1289] went every where [1330] (5627) preaching [2097] (5734) the word [3056].

8:5 Then [1161] Philip [5376] went down [2718] to [1519] the city [4172] of Samaria [4540], and preached [2784] (5707) Christ [5547] unto them [846].

8:6 And [5037] the people [3793] with one accord [3661] gave heed [4337] unto those things which Philip [5376] spake [3004] (5746) [5259], hearing [1722] [191] (5721) [846] and [2532] seeing [991] (5721) the miracles [4592] which [3739] he did [4160] (5707).

8:7 For [1063] unclean [169] spirits [4151], crying [994] with loud [3173] voice [5456], came out [1831] (5711) of many [4183] that were possessed [2192] (5723) [with them]: and [1161] many [4183] taken with palsies [3886] (5772), and [2532] that were lame [5560], were healed [2323] (5681).

8:8 And [2532] there was [1096] great [3173] joy [5479] in [1722] that [1565] city [4172].

8:9 But [1161] there was a certain [5100] man [435], called [3686] Simon [4613], which beforetime [4391] in [1722] the same city [4172] used sorcery [3096] (5723), and [2532] bewitched [1839] (5723) the people [1484] of Samaria [4540], giving out [3004] (5723) that himself [1438] was [1511] (5750) some [5100] great one [3173]:

8:10 To whom [3739] they all [3956] gave heed [4337], from [575] the least [3398] to [2193] the greatest [3173], saying [3004] (5723), This man [3778] is [2076] (5748) the great [3173] power [1411] of God [2316].

8:11 And [1161] to him [846] they had regard [4337], because [1223] that of long [2425] time [5550] he had bewitched [1839] (5760) them [846] with sorceries [3095].

8:12 But [1161] when [3753] they believed [4100] Philip [5376] preaching [2097] (5734) the things concerning [4012] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], they were baptized [907] (5712), both [5037] men [435] and [2532] women [1135].

8:13 Then [1161] Simon [4613] himself [846] believed [4100] also [2532]: and [2532] when he was baptized [907] (5685), he continued [2258] (5713) [4342] (5723) with Philip [5376], and [5037] wondered [1839] (5710), beholding [2334] (5723) the miracles [1411] and [2532] signs [4592] [3173] which were done [1096] (5740) (5625) [1096] (5740).

8:14 Now [1161] when the apostles [652] which [3588] were at [1722] Jerusalem [2414] heard [191] that [3754] Samaria [4540] had received [1209] (5766) the word [3056] of God [2316], they sent [649] (5656) unto [4314] them [846] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491]:

8:15 Who [3748], when they were come down [2597], prayed [4336] (5662) for [4012] them [846], that [3704] they might receive [2983] (5632) the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]:

8:16 (For [1063] as yet [3768] he was [2258] fallen [1968] (5761) upon [1909] none [3762] of them [846]: only [3440] [1161] they were [5225] (5707) baptized [907] (5772) in [1519] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424].)

8:17 Then [5119] laid they [2007] [their] hands [5495] on [1909] them [846], and [2532] they received [2983] (5707) the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].

8:18 And [1161] when Simon [4613] saw [2300] that [3754] through [1223] laying on [1936] of the apostles [652]' hands [5495] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] was given [1325] (5743), he offered [4374] (5656) them [846] money [5536],

8:19 Saying [3004], Give [1325] (5628) me also [2504] this [5026] power [1849], that [2443] on [2007] [0] whomsoever [3739] [1437] I lay [2007] (5632) hands [5495], he may receive [2983] (5725) the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].

8:20 But [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Thy [4675] money [694] perish [1498] (5751) [1519] [684] with [4862] thee [4671], because [3754] thou hast thought [3543] (5656) that the gift [1431] of God [2316] may be purchased [2932] (5738) with [1223] money [5536].

8:21 Thou [4671] hast [2076] neither [3756] part [3310] nor [3761] lot [2819] in [1722] this [5129] matter [3056]: for [1063] thy [4675] heart [2588] is [2076] (5748) not [3756] right [2117] in the sight [1799] of God [2316].

8:22 Repent [3340] therefore [3767] of [575] this [5026] thy [4675] wickedness [2549], and [2532] pray [1189] (5676) God [2316], if [1487] perhaps [686] the thought [1963] of thine [4675] heart [2588] may be forgiven [863] (5701) thee [4671].

8:23 For [1063] I perceive [3708] that thou [4571] art [5607] (5752) in [1519] the gall [5521] of bitterness [4088], and [2532] [in] the bond [4886] of iniquity [93].

8:24 Then [1161] answered [611] Simon [4613], and said [2036] (5627), Pray [1189] (5676) ye [5210] to [4314] the Lord [2962] for [5228] me [1700], that [3704] none of these things [3367] which [3739] ye have spoken [2046] (5758) come [1904] (5632) upon [1909] me [1691].

8:25 And they, when [3303] [3767] they had testified [1263] and [2532] preached [2980] (5660) the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], returned [5290] (5656) to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], and [5037] preached the gospel [2097] (5668) in many [4183] villages [2968] of the Samaritans [4541].

8:26 And [1161] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] spake [2980] unto [4314] Philip [5376], saying [3004] (5723), Arise [450] (5628), and [2532] go [4198] (5737) toward [2596] the south [3314] unto [1909] the way [3598] that goeth down [2597] (5723) from [575] Jerusalem [2419] unto [1519] Gaza [1048], which [3778] is [2076] (5748) desert [2048].

8:27 And [2532] he arose [450] and went [4198] (5675): and [2532], behold [2400] (5628), a man [435] of Ethiopia [128], an eunuch [2135] of great authority [1413] under Candace [2582] queen [938] of the Ethiopians [128], who [3739] had [2258] (5713) the charge of [1909] all [3956] her [846] treasure [1047], and [3739] had come [2064] (5715) to [1519] Jerusalem [2419] for to worship [4352] (5694),

8:28 [5037] Was [2258] returning [5290] (5723), and [2532] sitting [2521] (5740) in [1909] his [846] chariot [716] [2532] read [314] (5707) Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396].

8:29 Then [1161] the Spirit [4151] said [2036] unto Philip [5376], Go near [4334] (5628), and [2532] join thyself to [2853] (5682) this [5129] chariot [716].

8:30 And [1161] Philip [5376] ran [4370] thither to [him], and heard [191] (5656) him [846] read [314] (5723) the prophet [4396] Esaias [2268], and [2532] said [2036] (5627), Understandest thou [687] [1065] [1097] (5719) what [3739] thou readest [314] (5719)?

8:31 And [1161] he said [2036], How [1063] [4459] can I [302] [1410] (5739), except [3362] some man [5100] should guide [3594] (5661) me [3165]? And [5037] he desired [3870] (5656) Philip [5376] that he would come up [305] (5631) and sit [2523] (5658) with [4862] him [846].

8:32 [1161] The place [4042] of the scripture [1124] which [3739] he read [314] was [2258] (5713) this [3778], He was led [71] (5681) as [5613] a sheep [4263] to [1909] the slaughter [4967]; and [2532] like [5613] a lamb [286] dumb [880] before [1726] his [846] shearer [2751] (5723), so [3779] opened he [455] (5719) not [3756] his [846] mouth [4750]:

8:33 In [1722] his [846] humiliation [5014] his [846] judgment [2920] was taken away [142]: and [1161] who [5101] shall declare [1334] (5695) his [846] generation [1074]? for [3754] his [846] life [2222] is taken [142] (5743) from [575] the earth [1093].

8:34 And [1161] the eunuch [2135] answered [611] Philip [5376], and said [2036] (5627), I pray [1189] (5736) thee [4675], of [4012] whom [5101] speaketh [3004] (5719) the prophet [4396] this [5124]? of [4012] himself [1438], or [2228] of [4012] some [5100] other man [2087]?

8:35 Then [1161] Philip [5376] opened [455] his [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] began [756] (5671) at [575] the same [5026] scripture [1124], and preached [2097] (5668) unto him [846] Jesus [2424].

8:36 And [1161] as [5613] they went [4198] on [2596] [their] way [3598], they came [2064] (5627) unto [1909] a certain [5100] water [5204]: and [2532] the eunuch [2135] said [5346] (5748), See [2400] (5628), [here is] water [5204]; what [5101] doth hinder [2967] (5719) me [3165] to be baptized [907] (5683)?

8:37 And [1161] Philip [5376] said [2036], If [1487] thou believest [4100] (5719) with [1537] all thine [3650] heart [2588], thou mayest [1832] (5748). And [1161] he answered [611] (5679) and said [2036] (5627), I believe [4100] (5719) that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is [1511] (5750) the Son [5207] of God [2316].

8:38 And [2532] he commanded [2753] the chariot [716] to stand still [2476] (5629): and [2532] they went down [2597] (5627) both [297] into [1519] the water [5204], both [5037] Philip [5376] and [2532] the eunuch [2135]; and [2532] he baptized [907] (5656) him [846].

8:39 And [1161] when [3753] they were come up [305] out of [1537] the water [5204], the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962] caught away [726] (5656) Philip [5376], [2532] that the eunuch [2135] saw [1492] (5627) [3756] him [846] no more [3765]: and [1063] he went [4198] (5711) on his [846] way [3598] rejoicing [5463] (5723).

8:40 But [1161] Philip [5376] was found [2147] at [1519] Azotus [108]: and [2532] passing [1330] (5740) through he preached [2097] (5710) in all [3956] the cities [4172], till [2193] he [846] came [2064] (5629) to [1519] Caesarea [2542].
