Living_Oracles(i)
5 Then came Philip to the city of Samaria, and announced the Messiah to them.
6 And the people unanimously attended to the things that were spoken by Philip; as they heard them, and saw the miracles which he performed.
7 For, unclean spirits, which had possessed many, crying with a loud voice, came out of them; and many, who were paralytic and lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
9 But there was a certain man named Simon, who had, before, in that city, used magic, and astonished the nation of Samaria; pretending himself to be some extraordinary person:
10 to whom they all paid regard, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 And they paid regard to him; because he had, for a long time, astonished them wit his enchantments.
12 But when they gave credit to Philip, declaring the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ: they were immersed, both men and women.
13 And Simon himself also believed; and being immersed, he kept near to Philip, beholding with amazement, the great and powerful miracles which were done.
