- And Saul was there, giving approval to his death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
- Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him.
- But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
- Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.
- Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christthere.
|
- When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid close attention to what he said.
- With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed.
- So there was great joy in that city.
- Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,
- and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, "This man is the divine power known as the Great Power."
|
- They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his magic.
- But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
- Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.
- When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
- When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
|
- because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
- Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
- When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money
- and said, "Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
- Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
|
- You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.
- Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.
- For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin."
- Then Simon answered, "Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me."
- When they had testified and proclaimed the word of the Lord, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.
