Philip in Samaria

Those who had been scattered(A) preached the word wherever they went.(B) Philip(C) went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there.

For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many,(D) and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.(E) So there was great joy in that city.

Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

And there was great joy in that city.
