The Sorcerer’s Profession of Faith

But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great,

And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.

So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.

Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
