Acts - ch 8 v 1 - 20

  1. And Saul gave approval to his death. Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria.
  2. And God-fearing men put Stephen's body in its last resting-place, making great weeping over him.
  3. But Saul was burning with hate against the church, going into every house and taking men and women and putting them in prison.
  4. But those who had gone in flight went everywhere preaching the word.
  5. And Philip went down to Samaria and was teaching them about Christ.
  6. And all the people gave attention to the words which Philip said, when they saw the signs which he did.
  7. For unclean spirits came out from those who had them, crying with a loud voice; and a number of those who were ill and broken in body were made well.
  8. And there was much joy in that town.
  9. But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man:
  10. To whom they all gave attention, from the smallest to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is named Great.
  11. And they gave attention to him, because for a long time his wonder-working powers had kept them under his control.
  12. But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism.
  13. And Simon himself had faith and, having had baptism, he went with Philip and, seeing the signs and the great wonders which he did, he was full of surprise.
  14. Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John;
  15. Who, when they came there, made prayer for them, that the Holy Spirit might be given to them:
  16. For up to that time he had not come on any of them; only baptism had been given to them in the name of the Lord Jesus.
  17. Then they put their hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them.
  18. Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the touch of the Apostles' hands, he made them an offering of money, saying,
  19. Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit.
  20. But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.
