* But when they believed (5656 ) Philip preaching (5734 ) the things concerning the kingdom of God , and the name of Jesus Christ , they were baptized (5712 ), both men and women . * Then Simon himself believed (5656 ) also : and when he was baptized (5685 ), he continued (5713 ) (5723 ) with Philip , and wondered (5710 ), beholding (5723 ) the miracles and signs which were done (5740 ) (5625 ) (5740 ). * Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard (5660 ) that Samaria had received (5766 ) the word of God , they sent (5656 ) unto them Peter and John : * Who , when they were come down (5631 ), prayed (5662 ) for them , that they might receive (5632 ) the Holy Ghost : * (For as yet he was (5713 ) fallen (5761 ) upon none of them : only they were (5707 ) baptized (5772 ) in the name of the Lord Jesus .) * Then laid they (5707 ) their hands on them , and they received (5707 ) the Holy Ghost . * And when Simon saw (5666 ) that through laying on of the apostles hands the Holy Ghost was given (5743 ), he offered (5656 ) them money , * Saying (5723 ), Give (5628 ) me also this power , that on whomsoever I lay (5632 ) hands , he may receive (5725 ) the Holy Ghost . * But Peter said (5627 ) unto him , Thy money perish (5751 ) with thee , because thou hast thought (5656 ) that the gift of God may be purchased (5738 ) with money . * Thou hast (5748 ) neither part nor lot in this matter : for thy heart is (5748 ) not right in the sight of God . * Repent (5657 ) therefore of this thy wickedness , and pray (5676 ) God , if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven (5701 ) thee . * For I perceive (5719 ) that thou art (5752 ) in the gall of bitterness , and in the bond of iniquity . * Then answered (5679 ) Simon , and said (5627 ), Pray (5676 ) ye to the Lord for me , that none of these things which ye have spoken (5758 ) come (5632 ) upon me . * And they , when they had testified (5666 ) and preached (5660 ) the word of the Lord , returned (5656 ) to Jerusalem , and preached the gospel (5668 ) in many villages of the Samaritans . * And the angel of the Lord spake (5656 ) unto Philip , saying (5723 ), Arise (5628 ), and go (5737 ) toward the south unto the way that goeth down (5723 ) from Jerusalem unto Gaza , which is (5748 ) desert . * And he arose (5631 ) and went (5675 ): and , behold (5628 ), a man of Ethiopia , an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians , who had (5713 ) the charge of all her treasure , and had come (5715 ) to Jerusalem for to worship (5694 ), * Was (5713 ) returning (5723 ), and sitting (5740 ) in his chariot read (5707 ) Esaias the prophet . * Then the Spirit said (5627 ) unto Philip , Go near (5628 ), and join thyself to (5682 ) this chariot . * And Philip ran (5631 ) thither to him , and heard (5656 ) him read (5723 ) the prophet Esaias , and said (5627 ), Understandest thou (5719 ) what thou readest (5719 )? * And he said (5627 ), How can I (5739 ), except some man should guide (5661 ) me ? And he desired (5656 ) Philip that he would come up (5631 ) and sit (5658 ) with him . * The place of the scripture which he read (5707 ) was (5713 ) this , He was led (5681 ) as a sheep to the slaughter ; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer (5723 ), so opened he (5719 ) not his mouth : * In his humiliation his judgment was taken away (5681 ): and who shall declare (5695 ) his generation ? for his life is taken (5743 ) from the earth . * And the eunuch answered (5679 ) Philip , and said (5627 ), I pray (5736 ) thee , of whom speaketh (5719 ) the prophet this ? of himself , or of some other man ? * Then Philip opened (5660 ) his mouth , and began (5671 ) at the same scripture , and preached (5668 ) unto him Jesus .
