17 Then they (A)began laying their hands on them, and they were (B)receiving the Holy Spirit. 18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give this authority to me as well, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could (C)obtain the gift of God with money! 21 You have (D)no part or portion in this [a]matter, for your heart is not (E)right before God. 22 Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, (F)if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in (G)the [b]bondage of iniquity.” 24 But Simon answered and said, “(H)Pray to the Lord for me yourselves, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.”
An Ethiopian Receives Christ
25 So, when they had solemnly (I)testified and spoken (J)the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were (K)preaching the gospel to many villages of the (L)Samaritans.
26 But (M)an angel of the Lord spoke to (N)Philip saying, “Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to (O)Gaza.” ([c]This is a desert road.) 27 So he got up and went; and (P)there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he (Q)had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and he was returning and sitting in his [d]chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then (R)the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this [e]chariot.” 30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
“(S)He was led as a sheep to slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He does not open His mouth.
33 “(T)In humiliation His judgment was taken away;
Who will [f]relate His [g]generation?
For His life is removed from the earth.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” 35 Then Philip (U)opened his mouth, and (V)beginning from this Scripture he (W)preached Jesus to him. 36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, “Look! Water! (X)What prevents me from being baptized?” 37 [[h]And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”] 38 And he ordered the [i]chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, (Y)the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, [j]but went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip [k]found himself at [l](Z)Azotus, and as he passed through he (AA)kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to (AB)Caesarea.

17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them,(A) and they received the Holy Spirit.(B)
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!(C) 21 You have no part or share(D) in this ministry, because your heart is not right(E) before God. 22 Repent(F) 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(G) so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
25 After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord(H) and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.(I)
Philip and the Ethiopian
26 Now an angel(J) of the Lord said to Philip,(K) “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](L) eunuch,(M) 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,(N) 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told(O) 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](P)
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(Q) with that very passage of Scripture(R) and told him the good news(S) 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?”(T) [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,(U) 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(V) until he reached Caesarea.(W)
