8 At si Saulo ay sumangayon sa kaniyang pagkamatay. At nang araw na yao'y nangyari ang isang malaking paguusig laban sa iglesia na nasa Jerusalem; at silang lahat ay nagsipangalat sa lahat ng mga dako ng Judea at Samaria, maliban na sa mga apostol.
2 At inilibing si Esteban ng mga taong masipag sa kabanalan, at siya'y tinangisan ng di kawasa.
3 Datapuwa't pinuksa ni Saulo ang iglesia, na pinapasok ang bahay-bahay, at kinakaladkad ang mga lalake't mga babae, at sila'y ipinapasok sa bilangguan.
4 Ang mga nagsipangalat nga ay nagsipaglakbay, na ipinangangaral ang salita.
5 At bumaba si Felipe sa bayan ng Samaria, at ipinangaral sa kanila ang Cristo.
6 At ang mga karamiha'y nangagkakaisang nangakikinig sa mga bagay na sinasalita ni Felipe, pagkarinig nila, at pagkakita ng mga tanda na ginawa niya.
7 Sapagka't sa maraming may mga karumaldumal na espiritu, ay nangagsilabas sila, na nangagsisisigaw ng malakas na tinig: at maraming lumpo, at pilay, ang pinagaling.
8 At nagkaroon ng malaking kagalakan sa bayang yaon.
9 Datapuwa't may isang tao, na nagngangalang Simon, na nang unang panaho'y nanggagaway sa bayan, at pinahahanga ang mga tao sa Samaria, at nagsasabing siya'y isang dakila:
10 Na siyang pinakikinggan nilang lahat, buhat sa kaliitliitan hanggang sa kadakidakilaan, na sinasabi, Ang taong ito ang siyang kapangyarihan ng Dios na tinatawag na Dakila.
11 At siya'y pinakinggan nila, sapagka't mahabang panahong pinahahanga niya sila ng kaniyang mga panggagaway.
12 Datapuwa't nang magsipaniwala sila kay Felipe na nangangaral ng mabubuting balita tungkol sa kaharian ng Dios at sa pangalan ni Jesucristo, ay nangabautismuhan ang mga lalake't mga babae.
13 At si Simon man ay naniwala rin: at nang mabautismuhan na, ay nanatili siyang kasama ni Felipe; at nang makakita ng mga tanda at ng mga dakilang himalang ginawa, ay napahanga siya.
14 Nang mabalitaan nga ng mga apostol na nangasa Jerusalem na tinanggap ng Samaria ang salita ng Dios, ay sinugo nila sa kanila si Pedro at si Juan:
15 Na nang sila'y makalusong, ay ipinanalangin nila sila, upang kanilang tanggapin ang Espiritu Santo.
16 Sapagka't ito'y hindi pa bumababa sa kanino man sa kanila: kundi sila'y nangabautismuhan lamang sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus.
17 Nang magkagayo'y ipinatong sa kanila ang kanilang mga kamay, at kanilang tinanggap ang Espiritu Santo.
18 Nang makita nga ni Simon na sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatong ng mga kamay ng mga apostol ay ibinigay ang Espiritu Santo, ay inalok niya sila ng salapi,
19 Na sinasabi, Bigyan naman ninyo ako ng kapangyarihang ito, upang sinomang patungan ko ng aking mga kamay, ay tumanggap ng Espiritu Santo.
20 Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ni Pedro, Ang iyong salapi'y mapahamak na kasama mo, sapagka't inisip mong tamuhin ang kaloob ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng salapi.
21 Wala kang bahagi ni kapalaran man sa bagay na ito: sapagka't ang puso mo'y hindi matuwid sa harap ng Dios.
22 Magsisi ka nga sa kasamaan mong ito, at manalangin ka sa Panginoon, baka sakaling ipatawad sa iyo ang pagiisip ng iyong puso.
23 Sapagka't nakikita kong ikaw ay nasa apdo ng kapaitan at sa tali ng katampalasanan.
24 At sumagot si Simon at sinabi, Ipanalangin ninyo ako sa Panginoon, upang huwag mangyari sa akin ang alin mang bagay sa mga sinasabi ninyo.
25 Sila nga, nang makapagpatotoo at masabi na nila ang salita ng Panginoon, ay nangagbalik sa Jerusalem, at ipinangaral ang evangelio sa maraming nayon ng mga Samaritano.
26 Datapuwa't nagsalita kay Felipe ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Magtindig ka, at ikaw ay pumaroon sa dakong timugan, sa daang palusong mula sa Jerusalem hanggang sa Gaza: na ito'y ilang.
27 At siya'y nagtindig at yumaon: at narito, ang isang lalaking taga Etiopia, isang bating na may dakilang kapamahalaan na sakop ni Candace, reina ng mga Etiope, na siyang namamahala ng lahat niyang kayamanan, at siya'y naparoon sa Jerusalem upang sumamba;
28 At siya'y pabalik at nakaupo sa kaniyang karo, at binabasa ang propeta Isaias.
29 At sinabi kay Felipe ng Espiritu, Lumapit ka, at makisama sa karong ito.
30 At tumakbo si Felipeng patungo sa kaniya, at napakinggan niyang binabasa si Isaias na propeta, at sinabi, Nauunawa mo baga ang binabasa mo?
31 At sinabi niya, Paanong magagawa ko, maliban nang may pumatnubay sa aking sinoman? At pinakiusapan niya si Felipe na pumanhik at maupong kasama niya.
32 Ang dako nga ng kasulatan na binabasa niya ay ito, Siya'y gaya ng tupa na dinala sa patayan; At kung paanong hindi umimik ang kordero sa harap ng manggugupit sa kaniya, Gayon din hindi niya binubuka ang kaniyang bibig:
33 Sa kaniyang pagpapakababa'y inalis ang kaniyang paghuhukom. Sino ang maghahayag ng kaniyang lahi? Sapagka't inalis sa lupa ang kaniyang buhay.
34 At sumagot ang bating kay Felipe, at sinabi, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, kanino sinasabi ng propeta ito? sa kaniya bagang sarili, o sa alin mang iba?
35 At binuka ni Felipe ang kaniyang bibig, at pagpapasimula sa kasulatang ito, ay ipinangaral sa kaniya si Jesus.
36 At sa pagpapatuloy sa daan, ay nagsidating sila sa dakong may tubig; at sinabi ng bating, Narito, ang tubig; ano ang nakahahadlang upang ako'y mabautismuhan?
37 At sinabi ni Felipe Kung nanampalataya ka ng buong puso ay mangyayari. At sumagot siya at sinabi: Sumasampalataya ako na si Jesu-Cristo ay Anak ng Dios.
38 At ipinagutos niyang itigil ang karo: at sila'y kapuwa lumusong sa tubig, si Felipe at ang bating; at kaniyang binautismuhan siya.
39 At nang magsiahon sila sa tubig, ay inagaw si Felipe ng Espiritu ng Panginoon; at hindi na siya nakita ng bating, sapagka't ipinagpatuloy niya ang kaniyang lakad na natutuwa.
40 Nguni't nasumpungan si Felipe sa Azoto: at sa pagdadaan ay ipinangaral niya ang evangelio sa lahat ng mga bayan, hanggang sa dumating siya sa Cesarea.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
8 1-2 Inilibing si Esteban ng mga taong may takot sa Dios, at labis nila siyang iniyakan.
Pinag-uusig ni Saulo ang mga Mananampalataya
Mula noon, nagsimula na ang matinding pag-uusig sa mga mananampalataya sa Jerusalem. Kaya nagkawatak-watak ang mga mananampalataya sa buong lalawigan ng Judea at Samaria. Ang mga apostol lang ang hindi umalis sa Jerusalem. Si Saulo na sumang-ayon sa pagpatay kay Esteban 3 ay nagsumikap na wasakin ang iglesya. Kaya pinasok niya ang mga bahay-bahay at dinakip ang mga mananampalataya, lalaki man o babae, at dinala sa bilangguan.
Ipinangaral ang Magandang Balita sa Samaria
4 Ang mga mananampalatayang nangalat sa ibaʼt ibang lugar ay nangaral ng Magandang Balita. 5 Isa sa mga mananampalataya ay si Felipe. Pumunta siya sa isang lungsod ng Samaria at nangaral sa mga tao tungkol kay Cristo. 6 Nang marinig ng mga tao ang mga sinabi ni Felipe at makita ang mga himalang ginawa niya, nakinig sila nang mabuti sa kanya. 7 Maraming taong may masasamang espiritu ang pinagaling niya. Sumisigaw nang malakas ang masasamang espiritu habang lumalabas sa mga tao. Marami ring paralitiko at mga pilay ang gumaling. 8 Kaya masayang-masaya ang mga tao sa lungsod na iyon.
9 May tao rin doon na ang pangalan ay Simon. Matagal na niyang pinahahanga ang mga taga-Samaria sa kanyang kahusayan sa salamangka. Nagmamayabang siya na akala mo kung sino siyang dakila. 10 Ang lahat ng tao sa lungsod, mahirap man o mayaman ay nakikinig nang mabuti sa kanya. Sinabi nila, “Ang taong ito ang siyang kapangyarihan ng Dios na tinatawag na ‘Dakilang Kapangyarihan.’ ” 11 Matagal na niyang pinahahanga ang mga tao sa kanyang kahusayan sa salamangka, kaya patuloy silang naniniwala sa kanya. 12 Pero nang mangaral si Felipe sa kanila ng Magandang Balita tungkol sa paghahari ng Dios at tungkol kay Jesu-Cristo, sumampalataya at nagpabautismo ang mga lalaki at babae. 13 Pati si Simon ay sumampalataya rin, at nang mabautismuhan na siya, sumama siya kay Felipe. Talagang napahanga siya sa mga himala at kamangha-manghang bagay na ginawa ni Felipe.
14 Nang marinig ng mga apostol sa Jerusalem na ang mga taga-Samaria ay sumampalataya rin sa salita ng Dios, ipinadala nila roon sina Pedro at Juan. 15 Pagdating nila sa Samaria, ipinanalangin nila ang mga mananampalataya roon na sanaʼy matanggap nila ang Banal na Espiritu. 16 Sapagkat kahit nabautismuhan na sila sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus, hindi pa nila natatanggap ang Banal na Espiritu. 17 Ipinatong nina Pedro at Juan ang kanilang mga kamay sa kanila, at natanggap nila ang Banal na Espiritu. 18 Nakita ni Simon na sa pagpatong ng kamay ng mga apostol sa mga mananampalataya ay natanggap nila ang Banal na Espiritu. Kaya inalok niya ng pera sina Pedro at Juan at sinabi 19 “Bigyan ninyo ako ng ganyang kapangyarihan, para ang sinumang patungan ko ng kamay ay makatanggap din ng Banal na Espiritu.” 20 Pero sumagot si Pedro sa kanya, “Mawala ka sana at ang iyong pera! Sapagkat inaakala mong mabibili ng pera ang kaloob ng Dios. 21 Wala kang bahagi sa gawain namin, dahil marumi ang puso mo sa paningin ng Dios. 22 Kaya pagsisihan mo ang masama mong balak at manalangin ka sa Panginoon na patawarin ka sa iyong maruming pag-iisip. 23 Sapagkat nakikita kong inggit na inggit ka at alipin ng kasalanan.” 24 Sinabi ni Simon, “Kung maaari, manalangin din kayo sa Panginoon para sa akin upang hindi mangyari sa akin ang parusa na sinasabi ninyo.”
25 Pagkatapos magpatotoo nina Pedro at Juan at mangaral ng mensahe ng Panginoon, bumalik sila sa Jerusalem. At nangaral din sila ng Magandang Balita sa mga baryo na dinaanan nila sa lalawigan ng Samaria.
Si Felipe at ang Opisyal na Taga-Etiopia
26 May isang anghel ng Panginoon na nagsabi kay Felipe, “Pumunta ka agad sa timog, at sundan mo ang daan na mula sa Jerusalem papuntang Gaza.” (Ang daang iyon ay bihira na lang daanan.) 27 Kaya umalis si Felipe, at doon ay nakita niya ang taong taga-Etiopia. Pauwi na ito galing sa Jerusalem kung saan siya sumamba sa Dios. Mataas ang kanyang tungkulin dahil siya ang pinagkakatiwalaan ng kayamanan ng Candace. (Ang Candace ay reyna ng Etiopia.) 28 Nakasakay siya sa kanyang karwahe[a] at nagbabasa ng aklat ni Propeta Isaias. 29 Sinabi ng Banal na Espiritu kay Felipe, “Puntahan mo at makisabay ka sa kanyang karwahe.” 30 Kaya tumakbo si Felipe at inabutan niya ang karwahe. Narinig niyang nagbabasa ang opisyal ng aklat ni Propeta Isaias. Tinanong siya ni Felipe kung nauunawaan niya ang kanyang binabasa. 31 Sumagot ang opisyal, “Hindi nga eh! Paano ko mauunawaan kung wala namang magpapaliwanag sa akin?” Inanyayahan niya si Felipe na sumakay sa kanyang karwahe at tumabi sa kanya. 32 Ito ang bahagi ng Kasulatan na kanyang binabasa:
“Hindi siya nagreklamo.
Katulad siya ng tupa na dinadala sa katayan,
o kayaʼy isang munting tupa na walang imik habang ginugupitan.
33 Hinamak siya at hinatulan nang hindi tama.
Walang makapagsasabi tungkol sa kanyang mga lahi,
dahil pinaikli ang kanyang buhay dito sa lupa.”
34 Sinabi ng opisyal kay Felipe, “Sabihin mo sa akin kung sino ang tinutukoy ng propeta, ang sarili ba niya o ibang tao?” 35 Kaya simula sa bahaging iyon ng Kasulatan, ipinaliwanag sa kanya ni Felipe ang Magandang Balita tungkol kay Jesus. 36 Habang nagpapatuloy sila sa paglalakbay, nakarating sila sa lugar na may tubig. Sinabi ng opisyal kay Felipe, “May tubig dito. May dahilan pa ba para hindi ako mabautismuhan?” [37 Sumagot si Felipe sa kanya, “Maaari ka nang bautismuhan kung sumasampalataya ka nang buong puso.” Sumagot ang opisyal, “Oo, sumasampalataya ako na si Jesu-Cristo ang Anak ng Dios.”] 38 Pinahinto ng opisyal ang karwahe at lumusong silang dalawa sa tubig at binautismuhan siya ni Felipe. 39 Pagkaahon nila sa tubig, bigla na lang kinuha si Felipe ng Espiritu ng Panginoon. Hindi na siya nakita ng opisyal, pero masaya siyang nagpatuloy sa kanyang paglalakbay. 40 Namalayan na lang ni Felipe na siyaʼy nasa lugar na ng Azotus.[b] Nangaral siya ng Magandang Balita sa mga bayan na dinadaanan niya hanggang makarating siya sa Cesarea.
Acts 8
King James Version
Acts 8
King James Version
8 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

8 And Saul(A) approved of their killing him.
The Church Persecuted and Scattered
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered(B) throughout Judea and Samaria.(C) 2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul(D) began to destroy the church.(E) Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
Philip in Samaria
4 Those who had been scattered(F) preached the word wherever they went.(G) 5 Philip(H) went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. 6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. 7 For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many,(I) and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.(J) 8 So there was great joy in that city.
Simon the Sorcerer
9 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery(K) in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,(L) 10 and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, “This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.”(M) 11 They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. 12 But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God(N) and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized,(O) both men and women. 13 Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles(P) he saw.
14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria(Q) had accepted the word of God,(R) they sent Peter and John(S) to Samaria. 15 When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,(T) 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them;(U) they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.(V) 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them,(W) and they received the Holy Spirit.(X)
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!(Y) 21 You have no part or share(Z) in this ministry, because your heart is not right(AA) before God. 22 Repent(AB) of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”
24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me(AC) so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
25 After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord(AD) and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.(AE)
Philip and the Ethiopian
26 Now an angel(AF) of the Lord said to Philip,(AG) “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[a](AH) eunuch,(AI) an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,(AJ) 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told(AK) Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[b](AL)
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(AM) with that very passage of Scripture(AN) and told him the good news(AO) about Jesus.
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”(AP) [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away,(AQ) and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns(AR) until he reached Caesarea.(AS)

Saul Persecutes the Church
8 Now Saul was consenting to his death.
At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and (A)they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and (B)made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, (C)he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.
Christ Is Preached in Samaria
4 Therefore (D)those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. 5 Then (E)Philip went down to [a]the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For (F)unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.
The Sorcerer’s Profession of Faith
9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously (G)practiced [b]sorcery in the city and (H)astonished the [c]people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” 11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his [d]sorceries for a long time. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things (I)concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. 13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.
The Sorcerer’s Sin
14 Now when the (J)apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them (K)that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For (L)as yet He had fallen upon none of them. (M)They had only been baptized in (N)the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then (O)they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because (P)you thought that (Q)the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your (R)heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God (S)if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are (T)poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”
24 Then Simon answered and said, (U)“Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”
25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian(V)
26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to (W)Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is [e]desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, (X)a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and (Y)had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
(Z)“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
(AA)So He opened not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation His (AB)justice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is (AC)taken from the earth.”
34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, (AD)and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. (AE)What hinders me from being baptized?”
37 [f]Then Philip said, (AF)“If you believe with all your heart, you may.”
And he answered and said, (AG)“I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, (AH)the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at [g]Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to (AI)Caesarea.
