NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one, ¹⁰ to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great." ¹¹ They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip as he preached good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
