dby@Acts:8:1 @ And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries of Judaea and Samaria except the apostles.

dby@Acts:8:2 @ And pious men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him.

dby@Acts:8:6 @ and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard [him] and saw the signs which he wrought.

dby@Acts:8:15 @ who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive [the] Holy Spirit;

dby@Acts:8:16 @ for he was not yet fallen upon any of them, only they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.

dby@Acts:8:19 @ saying, Give to me also this power, in order that on whomsoever I may lay hands he may receive [the] Holy Spirit.

dby@Acts:8:20 @ And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by money.

dby@Acts:8:21 @ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, for thy heart is not upright before God.

dby@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee;

dby@Acts:8:23 @ for I see thee to be in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness.

dby@Acts:8:24 @ And Simon answering said, Supplicate ye for me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me of the things of which ye have spoken.

dby@Acts:8:28 @ was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias.

dby@Acts:8:29 @ And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot.

dby@Acts:8:31 @ And he said, How should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged Philip to come up and sit with him.

dby@Acts:8:32 @ And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens not his mouth.

dby@Acts:8:33 @ In his humiliation his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

dby@Acts:8:34 @ And the eunuch answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other?

dby@Acts:8:35 @ And Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him.

dby@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised?

dby@Acts:8:37 @ And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him.

dby@Acts:8:38 @ But when they came up out of the water [the] Spirit of [the] Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer, for he went on his way rejoicing.
