fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They therefore that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For `from' many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And there was much joy in that city. |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great. |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed. |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God. |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert. |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship; |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. |
| 30 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? |
| 31 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. |
| 32 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth: |
| 33 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth. |
| 34 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other? |
| 35 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus. |
| 36 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, `here is' water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
| 37 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData `And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' |
| 38 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. |
| 39 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. |
| 40 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. |
