Philip Preaches in Samaria

⁵ Philip [^Cone of the seven leaders chosen to serve; 6:5; 21:8] went to ·the city^[a] [or a city; or the main city] of Samaria [^Cperhaps the city of Sebaste, known in ancient times as Samaria] and ·preached about [proclaimed] the ·Christ [Messiah]. ⁶ When the ·people [^Lcrowds] there heard Philip and saw the ·miracles [signs] he was doing, they all [^Lwith one accord/mind] listened carefully to what he said. ⁷ Many of these people had ·evil [^Lunclean; 5:16] spirits in them, but Philip made the evil spirits ·leave [come out]. The spirits made a loud ·noise [cry] when they came out. Philip also healed many ·weak [paralyzed] and ·crippled [lame] people there. ⁸ So the people in that city were ·very happy [joyful; greatly rejoicing].
