Simon the Magician Believes

⁹ But there was a man named Simon, ^(C)who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, ^(D)saying that he himself was somebody great. ¹⁰ They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, ^(E)“This man is the power of God that is called ^(F)Great.” ¹¹ And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had ^(G)amazed them with his magic. ¹² But when ^(H)they believed Philip as he preached good news ^(I)about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, ^(J)they were baptized, both men and women.
