¹⁰ to whom they paid attention, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God!”

¹¹ And they paid attention to him because he had bewitched them with sorceries for a long time.

¹³ Then Simon himself also believed and was baptized. And he continued with Philip. And when he saw the signs and great miracles which were done, he wondered.
