Acts - ch 8 v 1 - 20

  1. And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries of Judaea and Samaria except the apostles.
  2. And pious men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him.
  3. But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into the houses one after another, and dragging off both men and women delivered them up to prison.
  4. Those then that had been scattered went through the countries announcing the glad tidings of the word.
  5. And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached the Christ to them;
  6. and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs which he wrought.
  7. For from many who had unclean spirits they went out, crying with a loud voice; and many that were paralysed and lame were healed.
  8. And there was great joy in that city.
  9. But a certain man, by name Simon, had been before in the city, using magic arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great one.
  10. To whom they had all given heed, from small to great, saying, This is the power of God which is called great.
  11. And they gave heed to him, because that for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts.
  12. But when they believed Philip announcing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women.
  13. And Simon also himself believed; and, having been baptised, continued constantly with Philip; and, beholding the signs and great works of power which took place, was astonished.
  14. And the apostles who were in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John;
  15. who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
  16. for he was not yet fallen upon any of them, only they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
  17. Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
  18. But Simon, having seen that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit was given, offered them money,
  19. saying, Give to me also this power, in order that on whomsoever I may lay hands he may receive the Holy Spirit.
  20. And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by money.
