*
Then Philip went down (
5631 )
to the city of Samaria ,
and preached (
5707 )
Christ unto them .
*
And the people with one accord gave heed (
5707 )
unto those things which Philip spake (
5746 ),
hearing (
5721 )
and seeing (
5721 )
the miracles which he did (
5707 ).
*
For unclean spirits ,
crying (
5723 )
with loud voice ,
came out (
5711 )
of many that were possessed (
5723 )
with them :
and many taken with palsies (
5772 ),
and that were lame ,
were healed (
5681 ).
*
And there was (
5633 )
great joy in that city .
*
But there was a certain man ,
called Simon ,
which beforetime (
5707 )
in the same city used sorcery (
5723 ),
and bewitched (
5723 )
the people of Samaria ,
giving out (
5723 )
that himself was (
5750 )
some great one :
*
To whom they all gave heed (
5707 ),
from the least to the greatest ,
saying (
5723 ),
This man is (
5748 )
the great power of God .
*
And to him they had regard (
5707 ),
because that of long time he had bewitched (
5760 )
them with sorceries .
*
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 .
