And
Saul
was
consenting
unto
his
death

And
at
that
time
there
was
a
great
persecution
against
the
church
which
was
at
Jerusalem
;

they
were
all
scattered
abroad
throughout
the
regions
of
Judaea

Samaria

the
apostles

strkjv@Acts:8:2
@
And
devout
men
carried
Stephen
to his burial,

made
great
lamentation
over
him

strkjv@Acts:8:3
@
As
for
Saul
, he made
havock
of the
church
, entering
into
every
house
, and
haling
men
and
women
committed
them
to
prison

strkjv@Acts:8:4
@
Therefore
they that were scattered
abroad
went every
where
preaching
the
word

strkjv@Acts:8:5
@
Then
Philip
went
down
to
the
city
of
Samaria
, and
preached
Christ
unto
them
.
strkjv@Acts:8:6
@
And
the
people
with one
accord
gave
heed
unto those things which
Philip
spake
,
hearing
and
seeing
the
miracles
which
he
did
.
strkjv@Acts:8:7
@
For
unclean
spirits
,
crying
with
loud
voice

out
of
many
that were
possessed
with them:

many
taken with
palsies
,

that were
lame

healed

strkjv@Acts:8:8

there
was
great
joy
in

strkjv@Acts:8:9

But
there was a
certain
man
,
called
Simon
, which
beforetime
in
the same
city
used
sorcery
,
and
bewitched
the
people
of
Samaria
, giving
out
that
himself
was
some
great
one
:
strkjv@Acts:8:10
@ To
whom
they
all
gave
heed
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest

saying
, This
man
is
the
great
power
of
God
.
strkjv@Acts:8:11
@
And
to
him
they had
regard
,
because
that of
long
time
he had
bewitched
them
with
sorceries

strkjv@Acts:8:12
@
But
when
they
believed
Philip
preaching
the things
concerning
the
kingdom
of
God
,
and
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
, they were
baptized
,
both
men
and
women
.
strkjv@Acts:8:13
@
Then
Simon
himself
believed
also
:
and
when he was
baptized
, he
continued
with
Philip
,
and
wondered
,
beholding
the
miracles
and
signs
which were
done
.
strkjv@Acts:8:14
@
Now
when the
apostles
which
were
at
Jerusalem
heard
that
Samaria
had
received
the
word
of
God
, they
sent
unto
them
Peter
and
John
:
strkjv@Acts:8:15
@
Who
, when they were come
down
,
prayed
for
them
,
that
they might
receive
the
Holy
Ghost
:
strkjv@Acts:8:16
@ (
For
as
yet
he
was
fallen
upon
none
of
them

only
they
were
baptized
in
the
name
of the
Lord
Jesus
.)
strkjv@Acts:8:17
@
Then
laid
they
their
hands
on
them
,
and
they
received
the
Holy
Ghost
.
strkjv@Acts:8:18
@
And
when
Simon
saw
that
through
laying
on
of the
apostles
hands
the
Holy
Ghost
was
given
, he
offered
them
money
,
strkjv@Acts:8:19
@
Saying
,
Give
me
also
this
power
,
that
on
whomsoever
I
lay
hands
, he may
receive
the
Holy
Ghost
.
strkjv@Acts:8:20
@
But
Peter
said
unto
him
,
Thy
money
perish
with
thee
,
because
thou hast
thought
that the
gift
of
God
may be
purchased
with
money
.
strkjv@Acts:8:21
@
Thou
hast
neither
part
nor
lot
in
this
matter
:
for
thy
heart
is
not
right
in the
sight
of
God
.
strkjv@Acts:8:22
@
Repent
therefore
of
this
thy
wickedness
,
and
pray
God
,
if
perhaps
the
thought
of
thine
heart
may be
forgiven
thee
.
strkjv@Acts:8:23
@
For
I
perceive
that
thou
art
in
the
gall
of
bitterness
,
and
in the
bond
of
iniquity
.
strkjv@Acts:8:24
@
Then
answered
Simon
, and
said
,
Pray
ye
to
the
Lord
for
me
,
that
none of these
things
which
ye have
spoken
come
upon
me
.
strkjv@Acts:8:25
@ And they,
when
they had
testified
and
preached
the
word

Lord

returned
to
Jerusalem

and
preached the
gospel
in
many
villages
of the
Samaritans

strkjv@Acts:8:26
@
And
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

is

@
And
he
arose
and
went
:
and
,
behold
, a
man
of
Ethiopia
, an
eunuch
of great
authority
under
Candace
queen
of the
Ethiopians
,
who
had
the charge
of
all
her
treasure
,
and
had
come
to
Jerusalem
for to
worship
,
strkjv@Acts:8:28
@
Was
returning

sitting
in
his
chariot
read
Esaias
the
prophet

strkjv@Acts:8:29
@
Then
the
Spirit
said
unto
Philip
, Go
near
,
and
join thyself
to
this
chariot

strkjv@Acts:8:30
@
And
Philip
ran
thither to him, and
heard
him
read
the
prophet
Esaias

and
said
, Understandest
thou
what
thou
readest
?
strkjv@Acts:8:31
@
And
he
said
,
How
can
I
,
except
some
man
should
guide
me
?

he
desired
Philip
that he would come
up
and
sit
with
him

strkjv@Acts:8:32
@
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
:
strkjv@Acts:8:33
@
In
his
humiliation
his
judgment
was taken
away
:
and
who
shall
declare
his
generation

for
his
life
is
taken
from
the
earth

strkjv@Acts:8:34
@
And
the
eunuch
answered
Philip
, and
said
, I
pray
thee
,
of
whom
speaketh
the
prophet
this
?
of
himself
,
or
of
some
other
man
?
strkjv@Acts:8:35
@
Then
Philip
opened
his
mouth
,
and
began
at
the
same
scripture
, and
preached
unto
him
Jesus
.
strkjv@Acts:8:36
@
And
as
they
went
on
their
way
, they
came
unto
a
certain
water
:
and
the
eunuch
said
,
See
, here is
water
;
what
doth
hinder
me
to be
baptized
?
strkjv@Acts:8:37
@
And
Philip
said
,
If
thou
believest
with
all
thine
heart

mayest
.
And
he
answered

said

believe
that
Jesus
Christ
is
the
Son
of
God

strkjv@Acts:8:38
@
And
he
commanded
the
chariot
to stand
still

they went
down
both
into
the
water

both
Philip

he
baptized
him

when

up
out

Lord
caught
away
Philip

that the
eunuch
saw
him
no
more
:

he
went
on

rejoicing
