Acts 8:5, “Then Philip went down to [the] city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. Acts 8:6, “And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. Acts 8:7, “For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. Acts 8:8, “And there was great joy in that city.”

Acts 8:9, “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, Acts 8:10, “to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, ‘This man is the great power of God.’ Acts 8:11, “and they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. Acts 8:12, “But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. Acts 8:13, “Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.”

Acts 8:14, “Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, Acts 8:15, “who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:16, “For as yet He had fallen upon none of

• them. They had only been baptized in the name of

the Lord Jesus. Acts 8:17, “Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.”
