8:1 And 1161 Saul 4569 was 2258 5713 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 5656 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 5711 of the church 1577, entering into 1531 5740 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 5651 went every where 1330 5627 preaching 2097 5734 the word 3056.

8:5 Then 1161 Philip 5376 went down 2718 5631 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 5707 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 5723 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 5633 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 5707 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 5707, 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 5707, 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 5656 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 5656 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.(miracles…: Gr. signs and great miracles)

8:14 Now 1161 when the apostles 652 which 3588 were at 1722 Jerusalem 2414 heard 191 5660 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 5631, 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 5713 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 5707 [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 5666 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 5723, 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 5627 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 5748 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 5657 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 5719 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 5679 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 5666 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 5656 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 5631 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 5713 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 5627 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 5631 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 5627, 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 5707 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 5681: 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 5679 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 5660 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 5711 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 5627, 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 5656 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 5627 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 5681 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.
