web - Acts:8:2-25

web@Acts:8:2 @ Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.

web@Acts:8:3 @ But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.

web@Acts:8:4 @ Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.

web@Acts:8:5 @ Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.

web@Acts:8:6 @ The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.

web@Acts:8:7 @ For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.

web@Acts:8:8 @ There was great joy in that city.

web@Acts:8:9 @ But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,

web@Acts:8:10 @ to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that great power of God."

web@Acts:8:11 @ They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.

web@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

web@Acts:8:13 @ Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.

web@Acts:8:14 @ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

web@Acts:8:15 @ who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;

web@Acts:8:16 @ for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.

web@Acts:8:17 @ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

web@Acts:8:18 @ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

web@Acts:8:19 @ saying, "Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."

web@Acts:8:20 @ But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

web@Acts:8:21 @ You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn't right before God.

web@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

web@Acts:8:23 @ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."

web@Acts:8:24 @ Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me."

web@Acts:8:25 @ They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
