Acts 8

1 By occasion of the persecution in Jerusalem, the Church being planted in Samaria, 5 by Philip the deacon, who preached, did miracles, and baptized many, among the rest Simon the sorcerer, a great seducer of the people: 14 Peter and John come to confirm and enlarge the Church: where, by prayer and imposition of hands giving in the Holy Ghost, 18 when Simon would have bought the like power of them, 20 Peter sharply reproving his hypocrisy, and covetousness, and exhorting him to repentance, together with John preaching the Word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem. 26 But the angel saith to Philip to teach and baptize the Ethiopian eunuch.

 8:1 ¶ And 1161 Saul 4569 was 2258 z5713 consenting 4909 z5723 unto his 846 death. 336 And 1161 at 1722 that 1565 time 2250 there was 1096 z5633 a great 3173 persecution 1375 against 1909 the x3588 church 1577 which 3588 was at 1722 Jerusalem; 2414 and 5037 they were y1289 z0 all 3956 scattered abroad 1289 z5681 throughout 2596 the x3588 regions 5561 of Judea 2449 and 2532 Samaria, 4540 except 4133 the x3588 apostles. 652

 8:2 And 1161 devout 2126 men 435 carried 4792 z5656 Stephen 4736 [to his burial], and 2532 made 4160 z5668 great 3173 lamentation 2870 over 1909 him. 846

 8:3 As y1161 for x1161 Saul, 4569 he made havoc 3075 z5711 of the x3588 church, 1577 entering into 1531 z5740 z5734 every y2596 house, 3624 x2596 and x5037 haling 4951 z5723 y5037 men 435 and 2532 women 1135 committed 3860 z5707 [them] to 1519 prison. 5438

 8:4 Therefore 3767 3303 they that were scattered abroad 1289 z5651 went every where 1330 z5627 preaching 2097 z5734 the x3588 word. 3056

 8:5 Then 1161 Philip 5376 went down 2718 z5631 to 1519 the city 4172 of Samaria, 4540 and preached 2784 z5707 Christ 5547 unto them. 846

 8:6 And 5037 the x3588 people 3793 with one accord 3661 gave heed 4337 z5707 unto those things which x5259 Philip 5376 spake, 3004 z5746 y5259 hearing 191 y1722 z5721 y846 and 2532 seeing 991 z5721 the x3588 miracles 4592 which 3739 he did. 4160 z5707

 8:7 For 1063 unclean 169 spirits, 4151 crying 994 z5723 with loud 3173 voice, 5456 came out 1831 z5711 of many 4183 that were possessed 2192 z5723 [with them]: and 1161 many 4183 taken with palsies, 3886 z5772 and 2532 that were lame, 5560 were healed. 2323 z5681

 8:8 And 2532 there was 1096 z5633 great 3173 joy 5479 in 1722 that 1565 city. 4172

 8:9 But 1161 there was a certain 5100 man, 435 called 3686 Simon, 4613 which beforetime 4391 z5707 in 1722 the x3588 same city 4172 used sorcery, 3096 z5723 and 2532 bewitched 1839 z5723 the x3588 people 1484 of Samaria, 4540 giving out 3004 z5723 that himself 1438 was 1511 z5750 some 5100 great one: 3173

 8:10 To whom 3739 they all 3956 gave heed, 4337 z5707 from 575 the least 3398 to 2193 the greatest, 3173 saying, 3004 z5723 This man 3778 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 great 3173 power 1411 of God. 2316

 8:11 And 1161 to him 846 they had regard, 4337 z5707 because y1223 that of long 2425 time 5550 he had bewitched 1839 z5760 them 846 with sorceries. 3095

 8:12 But 1161 when 3753 they believed 4100 z5656 Philip 5376 preaching 2097 z5734 the things x3588 concerning 4012 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God, 2316 and 2532 the x3588 name 3686 of Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 they were baptized, 907 z5712 both 5037 men 435 and 2532 women. 1135

 8:13 Then 1161 Simon 4613 himself 846 believed 4100 z5656 also: 2532 and 2532 when he was baptized, 907 z5685 he continued 2258 4342 z5713 z5723 with Philip, 5376 and 5037 wondered, 1839 z5710 beholding 2334 z5723 the x3173 miracles 1411 and 2532 signs 4592 y3173 which were done. 1096 z5740 z5625

 8:14 Now 1161 when the x3588 apostles 652 which 3588 were at 1722 Jerusalem 2414 heard 191 z5660 that 3754 Samaria 4540 had received 1209 z5766 the x3588 word 3056 of God, 2316 they sent 649 z5656 unto 4314 them 846 Peter 4074 and 2532 John: 2491

 8:15 Who, 3748 when they were come down, 2597 z5631 prayed 4336 z5662 for 4012 them, 846 that 3704 they might receive 2983 z5632 the Holy 40 Ghost: 4151

 8:16 (For 1063 as yet 3768 he was 2258 z5713 fallen 1968 z5761 upon 1909 none 3762 of them: 846 x1161 only 3440 y1161 they were 5225 z5707 baptized 907 z5772 in 1519 the x3588 name 3686 of the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus.) 2424

 8:17 Then 5119 laid x2007 they y2007 z5707 [their] hands 5495 on 1909 them, 846 and 2532 they received 2983 z5707 the Holy 40 Ghost. 4151

 8:18 And 1161 when Simon 4613 saw 2300 z5666 that 3754 through 1223 laying on 1936 of the x3588 apostles' 652 hands 5495 the x3588 Holy 40 Ghost 4151 was given, 1325 z5743 he offered 4374 z5656 them 846 money, 5536

 8:19 Saying, 3004 z5723 Give 1325 z5628 me also 2504 this 5026 power, 1849 that 2443 on y2007 z0 whomsoever 3739 y1437 x302 I lay 2007 z5632 hands, 5495 he may receive 2983 z5725 the Holy 40 Ghost. 4151

 8:20 But 1161 Peter 4074 said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 him, 846 Thy 4675 money 694 perish 1498 1519 684 z5751 with 4862 thee, 4671 because 3754 thou hast thought 3543 z5656 that the x3588 gift 1431 of God 2316 may be purchased 2932 z5738 with 1223 money. 5536

 8:21 Thou 4671 hast 2076 z5748 neither 3756 part 3310 nor 3761 lot 2819 in 1722 this 5129 matter: 3056 for 1063 thy 4675 heart 2588 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 right 2117 in the sight 1799 of God. 2316

 8:22 Repent 3340 z5657 therefore 3767 of 575 this 5026 thy 4675 wickedness, 2549 and 2532 pray 1189 z5676 God, 2316 if 1487 perhaps 686 the x3588 thought 1963 of thine 4675 heart 2588 may be forgiven 863 z5701 thee. 4671

 8:23 For 1063 I perceive 3708 z5719 that thou 4571 art 5607 z5752 in 1519 the gall 5521 of bitterness, 4088 and 2532 [in] the bond 4886 of iniquity. 93

 8:24 Then 1161 answered 611 z5679 Simon, 4613 and said, 2036 z5627 Pray 1189 z5676 ye 5210 to 4314 the x3588 Lord 2962 for 5228 me, 1700 that 3704 none x3367 of these things y3367 which 3739 ye have spoken 2046 z5758 come 1904 z5632 upon 1909 me. 1691

 8:25 And x3767 they, x3588 when y3303 y3767 they x3303 x3767 had testified 1263 z5666 and 2532 preached 2980 z5660 the x3588 word 3056 of the x3588 Lord, 2962 returned 5290 z5656 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2419 and 5037 preached the gospel 2097 z5668 in many 4183 villages 2968 of the x3588 Samaritans. 4541

 8:26 And 1161 the angel 32 of the Lord 2962 spake 2980 z5656 unto 4314 Philip, 5376 saying, 3004 z5723 Arise, 450 z5628 and 2532 go 4198 z5737 toward 2596 the south 3314 unto 1909 the x3588 way 3598 that goeth down 2597 z5723 from 575 Jerusalem 2419 unto 1519 Gaza, 1048 which 3778 is 2076 z5748 desert. 2048

 8:27 And 2532 he arose 450 z5631 and x2532 went: 4198 z5675 and, 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 a man 435 of Ethiopia, 128 an eunuch 2135 of great authority 1413 under Candace 2582 queen 938 of the Ethiopians, 128 who 3739 had y2258 z5713 the charge x2258 x1909 of y1909 all 3956 her y846 x848 treasure, 1047 and y3739 x2532 had x3739 come 2064 z5715 to 1519 Jerusalem 2419 for to worship, 4352 z5694

 8:28 5037 Was 2258 z5713 returning, 5290 z5723 and 2532 sitting 2521 z5740 in 1909 his y846 x848 chariot 716 2532 read 314 z5707 Isaiah 2268 the x3588 prophet. 4396

 8:29 Then 1161 the x3588 Spirit 4151 said 2036 z5627 unto Philip, 5376 Go near, 4334 z5628 and 2532 join thyself x2853 to y2853 z5682 this 5129 chariot. 716

 8:30 And 1161 Philip 5376 ran y4370 z5631 thither x4370 to [him], and heard 191 z5656 him 846 read 314 z5723 the x3588 prophet 4396 Isaiah, 2268 and 2532 said, 2036 z5627 x687 x1065 Understandest x1097 thou y687 y1065 y1097 z5719 what 3739 thou readest? 314 z5719

 8:31 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 x1063 How 4459 y1063 can x1410 x302 I, y302 y1410 z5739 except 3362 some man 5100 should guide 3594 z5661 me? 3165 And 5037 he desired 3870 z5656 Philip 5376 that he would come up 305 z5631 and sit 2523 z5658 with 4862 him. 846

 8:32 1161 The x3588 place 4042 of the x3588 Scripture 1124 which 3739 he read 314 z5707 was 2258 z5713 this, 3778 He was led 71 z5681 as 5613 a sheep 4263 to 1909 the slaughter; 4967 and 2532 like 5613 a lamb 286 dumb 880 before 1726 his 846 shearer, 2751 z5723 so 3779 opened x455 he y455 z5719 not 3756 his y846 x848 mouth: 4750

 8:33 In 1722 his 846 humiliation 5014 his 846 judgment 2920 was taken away: 142 z5681 and 1161 who 5101 shall declare 1334 z5695 his 846 generation? 1074 for 3754 his 846 life 2222 is taken 142 z5743 from 575 the x3588 earth. 1093

 8:34 And 1161 the x3588 eunuch 2135 answered 611 z5679 Philip, 5376 and said, 2036 z5627 I pray 1189 z5736 thee, 4675 of 4012 whom 5101 speaketh 3004 z5719 the x3588 prophet 4396 this? 5124 of 4012 himself, 1438 or 2228 of 4012 some y5100 other man? 2087 x5101

 8:35 Then 1161 Philip 5376 opened 455 z5660 his y846 x848 mouth, 4750 and 2532 began 756 z5671 at 575 the same 5026 Scripture, 1124 and preached 2097 z5668 unto him 846 Jesus. 2424

 8:36 And 1161 as 5613 they went 4198 z5711 on 2596 [their] way, 3598 they came 2064 z5627 unto 1909 a certain 5100 water: 5204 and 2532 the x3588 eunuch 2135 said, 5346 z5748 See, 2400 z5628 [here is] water; 5204 what 5101 doth hinder 2967 z5719 me 3165 to be baptized? 907 z5683

 8:37 And 1161 Philip 5376 said, 2036 z5627 If 1487 thou believest 4100 z5719 with 1537 all x3650 thine y3650 heart, 2588 thou mayest. 1832 z5748 And 1161 he answered 611 z5679 and said, 2036 z5627 I believe 4100 z5719 that Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 is 1511 z5750 the x3588 Son 5207 of God. 2316

 8:38 And 2532 he commanded 2753 z5656 the x3588 chariot 716 to stand still: 2476 z5629 and 2532 they went down 2597 z5627 both 297 into 1519 the x3588 water, 5204 both 5037 Philip 5376 and 2532 the x3588 eunuch; 2135 and 2532 he baptized 907 z5656 him. 846

 8:39 And 1161 when 3753 they were come up 305 z5627 out of 1537 the x3588 water, 5204 the Spirit 4151 of the Lord 2962 caught away 726 z5656 Philip, 5376 y2532 that x2532 the x3588 eunuch 2135 x3756 saw 1492 z5627 y3756 him 846 no more: 3765 and 1063 he went 4198 z5711 on his y846 x848 way 3598 rejoicing. 5463 z5723

 8:40 But 1161 Philip 5376 was found 2147 z5681 at 1519 Azotus: 108 and 2532 passing y1330 z5740 through x1330 he preached 2097 z5710 in all 3956 the x3588 cities, 4172 till 2193 he 846 came 2064 z5629 to 1519 Caesarea. 2542
