Acts 8:9-11

Godbey(i) 9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was formerly practicing magic in the city, and bewitching the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great man: 10 to whom all from small even unto the great gave heed, saying, This one is the power of God, called Great. 11 And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had deceived them with his magic arts.
