nkjv Acts:8:2-25
nkjv@Acts:8:2 @ And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
nkjv@Acts:8:3 @ As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.
nkjv@Acts:8:4 @ Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.
nkjv@Acts:8:5 @ Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.
nkjv@Acts:8:6 @ And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
nkjv@Acts:8:7 @ For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
nkjv@Acts:8:8 @ And there was great joy in that city.
nkjv@Acts:8:9 @ But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great,
nkjv@Acts:8:10 @ to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the great power of God."
nkjv@Acts:8:11 @ And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.
nkjv@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.
nkjv@Acts:8:13 @ Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.
nkjv@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,
nkjv@Acts:8:15 @ who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
nkjv@Acts:8:16 @ For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
nkjv@Acts:8:17 @ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
nkjv@Acts:8:18 @ And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
nkjv@Acts:8:19 @ saying, "Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
nkjv@Acts:8:20 @ But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!
nkjv@Acts:8:21 @ You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
nkjv@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
nkjv@Acts:8:23 @ For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity."
nkjv@Acts:8:24 @ Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me."
nkjv@Acts:8:25 @ So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
