¹ Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria except the apostles.

² Some devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him.

³ But Saul began ravaging the church entering house after house and dragging off men and women he would put them in prison.

⁴ Therefore those who had been scattered went about preaching the word.

⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming Christ to them.

⁶ The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing.

⁷ For in the case of many who had unclean spirits they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.

⁸ So there was much rejoicing in that city.

⁹ Now there was a man named Simon who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria claiming to be someone great;

¹⁰ and they all from smallest to greatest were giving attention to him saying "This man is what is called the Great Power of God."

¹¹ And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts.

¹² But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ they were being baptized men and women alike.

¹³ Even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized he continued on with Philip and as he observed signs and great miracles taking place he was constantly amazed.

¹⁴ Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God they sent them Peter and John

¹⁵ who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁷ Then they began laying their hands on them and they were receiving the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles' hands he offered them money

¹⁹ saying "Give this authority to me as well so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."

²⁰ But Peter said to him "May your silver perish with you because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

²¹ "You have no part or portion in this matter for your heart is not right before God.

²² "Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours and pray the Lord that if possible the intention of your heart may be forgiven you.

²³ "For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."

²⁴ But Simon answered and said "Pray to the Lord for me yourselves so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me."

²⁵ So when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord they started back to Jerusalem and were preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying "Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a desert road.)

²⁷ So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch a court official of Candace queen of the Ethiopians who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship

²⁸ and he was returning and sitting in his chariot and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip "Go up and join this chariot."

³⁰ Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said "Do you understand what you are reading?"

³¹ And he said "Well how could I unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

³² Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: "HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER; AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.

³³ "IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY; WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION? FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH."

³⁴ The eunuch answered Philip and said "Please tell me of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?"

³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him.

³⁶ As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?"

³⁷ [ And Philip said "If you believe with all your heart you may." And he answered and said "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."]

³⁸ And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water Philip as well as the eunuch and he baptized him.

³⁹ When they came up out of the water the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him but went on his way rejoicing.

⁴⁰ But Philip found himself at Azotus and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
