1 - and Shaul well-approves his taking out.
FOURTH PERSECUTION
And so be it, in that day, a mega persecution on the ecclesia in Yeru Shalem; and they all thoroughly disperse throughout the regions of Yah Hudah and Shomeron - except the apostles. 2 And well-received men carry Stephanos and make a mega chopping over him. 3 As for Shaul, he ravages the ecclesia - entering every house, and dragging men and women and delivering them to the guardhouse. 4 So indeed, they thoroughly disperse and pass through evangelizing the word. 5
PHILIPPOS DOES SIGNS
And Philippos goes down to the city of Shomeron and preaches the Messiah to them: 6 and in unanimity the multitude heeds what Philippos words - hearing and seeing the signs he does. 7 For impure spirits, crying with mega voice, come from many of the possessed: and many paralyzed and lame are cured; 8 and so be it, a mega cheer in that city. 9 But some man named Shimon, who previously used sorcery in the same city, who astounded the goyim of Shomeron; wording that he himself is some mega one: 10 whom they all heed, from the least to the mega, wording, This one is the mega dynamis of Elohim. 11 - and they heed him, because he astounded them with magicing for a long time. 12 But when they trust Philippos evangelizing those concerning the sovereigndom of Elohim and the name of Yah Shua Messiah, they are baptized - both men and women: 13 and Shimon himself also trusts: and being baptized, he continues with Philippos; and is astounded, observing the dynamis and mega signs that become. 14 And the apostles at Yeru Shalem hear that a Shomeron receives the word of Elohim, they apostolize Petros and Yahn to them: 15 who, having descended, pray concerning them to take the Holy Spirit: 16 - for as yet he had fallen on none of them - only being baptized in the name of Adonay Yah Shua. 17 Then they put their hands on them, and they take the Holy Spirit. 18 And when Shimon observes that the Holy Spirit is given through laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offers them riches, 19 wording, Give me also this authority, that on whomever I put hands, he takes the Holy Spirit. 20 But Petros says to him, Your silver be to your destruction! - because you presume that the gratuity of Elohim is acquired through riches. 21 You have neither part nor lot in this word: for your heart is not straight in the sight of Elohim. 22 So repent of this your malice; and petition Elohim, if indeed the mind of your heart be forgiven you: 23 for I see you are in the choler of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. 24 And Shimon answers, saying, You, petition Adonay for me, that none of these that you say come upon me. 25 So indeed, having witnessed and spoken the word of Adonay, they return to Yeru Shalem, and evangelize in many villages of the Shomeroniym. 26
PHILIPPOS AND THE ETHIOPIAN
And the angel of Yah Veh speaks to Philippos, wording, Rise, and go toward the midday to the way that descends from Yeru Shalem - to Azzah - this is desolate. 27 And he rises and goes: and behold, a man - an Ethiopian eunuch - a dynast under Candace sovereigness of the Ethiopians who has the charge of all her treasure, and he comes to Yeru Shalem to worship; 28 and in returning; sits on his chariot reading Yesha Yah the prophet. 29 And the Spirit says to Philippos, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot. 30 And Philippos runs, and hears him read the prophet Yesha Yah, and says, Yet indeed, know you then what you read? 31 And he says, Indeed, how can I, unless someone guides me? - and he beseeches Philippos to ascend and sit with him. 32 The passage of the scripture he reads is this: He is led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb voiceless in front of his shearer, thus he opens not his mouth: 33 in his humiliation his judgment is taken away: And who declares his generation? - for his life is taken from the earth. Isaiah 53:7, 8 34 And the eunuch answers Philippos, saying, I petition you, concerning whom words the prophet this? Concerning himself? Or concerning some other? 35 And Philippos opens his mouth and begins from the same scripture and preaches Yah Shua to him: 36 and as they go their way, they come to a water: and the eunuch says, Behold, water! What forbids me to be baptized? 37 And Philippos says, If you trust from all your heart, you are allowed. And he answers, saying, I trust that Yah Shua Messiah is the Son of Elohim. 38 And he summons the chariot to stand: and they both descend into the water - both Philippos and the eunuch; and he baptizes him. 39 And when they ascend from the water the Spirit of Yah Veh seizes Philippos so that the eunuch sees him no more: and indeed he goes on his way cheering. 40 But Philippos is found at Ashdod: and passing through he evangelizes in all the cities until he comes to Kaisaria.
