1 G* And Saul G1161 G1510.7.3 was G4909 assenting with G3588 G336 his removal. G1473 G1096 And came to pass G1161 G1722 in G1565 that G3588 G2250 day G1375 [²persecution G3173 ¹a great] G1909 against G3588 the G1577 assembly, G3588 the one G1722 in G* Jerusalem; G3956 and all G1161 G1289 were dispersed G2596 throughout G3588 the G5561 places G3588 G* of Judea G2532 and G* Samaria, G4133 except G3588 the G652 apostles.

2 G4792 [⁴collected up G1161 ¹And G3588 G* ⁵Stephen G435 ³men G2126 ²reverent], G2532 and G4160 were making G2870 [²beating of the breast G3173 ¹a great] G1909 over G1473 him.

3 G* But Saul G1161 G3075 laid waste G3588 the G1577 assembly G2596 [²by houses G3588 G3624 G1531 ¹entering]. G4951 Dragging both G5037 G435 men G2532 and G1135 women, G3860 he delivered them up G1519 into G5438 prison.

4 G3588 The ones G3303 then G3767 G1289 being scattered G1330 went through G2097 announcing good news -- G3588 the G3056 word.

5 G* And Philip G1161 G2718 going down G1519 unto G4172 a city G3588 G* of Samaria, G2784 proclaimed G1473 to them G3588 the G5547 Christ.

6 G4337 [⁴took heed G5037 ¹And G3588 ²the G3793 ³multitudes] G3588 to the things G3004 being said G5259 by G3588 G* Philip G3661 with one accord, G1722 in G3588 G191 their hearing G1473 G2532 and G991 seeing G3588 the G4592 signs G3739 which G4160 he did.

7 G4183 For many G1063 G3588 of the ones G2192 having G4151 [²spirits G169 ¹unclean], G994 yelling G5456 [²voice G3173 ¹a great] G1831 came forth; G4183 and many G1161 G3886 having been disabled G2532 and G5560 lame G2323 were cured.

8 G2532 And G1096 came to pass G5479 [²joy G3173 ¹a great] G1722 in G3588 G4172 that city. G1565

9 G435 [³man G1161 ¹And G5100 ²a certain], G3686 by name G* Simon, G4391 beforehand G1722 in G3588 the G4172 city G3096 was practicing magic, G2532 and G1839 amazing G3588 the G1484 nation G3588 G* of Samaria, G3004 saying G1510.1 [²to be G5100 ³some G1438 ¹himself] G3173 great one.

10 G3739 To whom G4337 all gave heed G3956 G575 from G3397 small G2193 unto G3173 great, G3004 saying, G3778 This one G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G1411 power G3588 of the G2316 [²God G3588 G3173 ¹great].

11 G4337 And they were giving heed G1161 G1473 to him, G1223 because G3588 G2425 for a fit amount of G5550 time G3588 with the G3095 magic G1839 he amazed G1473 them.

12 G3753 And when G1161 G4100 they believed G3588 G* Philip G2097 announcing good news, G3588 the things G4012 concerning G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 G2316 of God, G2532 and G3588 the G3686 name G* of Jesus G5547 Christ, G907 they were immersed, G435 both men G5037 G2532 and G1135 women.

13 G3588 G1161 And G* Simon G2532 even G1473 himself G4100 believed, G2532 and G907 having been immersed, G1510.7.3 was G4342 constantly attending to G3588 G* Philip; G2334 and viewing G5037 G1411 works of power G2532 and G4592 signs G1096 being done G1839 he was amazed.

14 G191 [⁶having heard G1161 ¹And G3588 ²the G1722 ⁴in G* ⁵Jerusalem G652 ³apostles] G3754 that G1209 Samaria received G3588 G* G3588 the G3056 word G3588 G2316 of God, G649 sent G4314 to G1473 them G3588 G* Peter G2532 and G* John.

15 G3748 Who G2597 having gone down G4336 prayed G4012 concerning G1473 them, G3704 that G2983 they should receive G4151 [²spirit G39 ¹holy].

16 G3768 For not yet G1063 G1510.7.3 was it G1909 [²upon G3762 ³any one G1473 ⁴of them G1968 ¹falling]; G3440 but only G1161 G907 [²immersed G5224 ¹being] G1519 in G3588 the G3686 name G3588 of the G2962 Lord G* Jesus.

17 G5119 Then G2007 they placed G3588 the G5495 hands G1909 upon G1473 them, G2532 and G2983 they received G4151 [²spirit G39 ¹holy].

18 G2300 [³seeing G1161 ¹And G3588 G* ²Simon] G3754 that G1223 through G3588 the G1936 laying on G3588 of the G5495 hands G3588 of the G652 apostles G1325 [⁴was given G3588 ¹the G4151 ³spirit G3588 G39 ²holy], G4374 he brought G1473 to them G5536 things,

19 G3004 saying, G1325 Give G2504 to me also G3588 G1849 this authority, G3778 G2443 that G3739 whom G302 ever G2007 I should place G3588 the G5495 hands G2983 should receive G4151 [²spirit G39 ¹holy].

20 G* And Peter G1161 G2036 said G1473 to him, G3588 G694 [²your money G1473 G4862 ⁴with G1473 ⁵you G1510.4 ¹May ³be] G1519 unto G684 destruction, G3754 for G3588 [²the G1431 ³gift G3588 G2316 ⁴of God G3543 ¹you thought G1223 ⁶by G5536 ⁷things G2932 ⁵ is to be acquired].

21 G3756 There is no G1510.2.3 G1473 portion to you G3310 G3761 nor G2819 lot G1722 in G3588 G3056 this matter; G3778 G3588 G1063 for G2588 your heart G1473 G3756 is not G1510.2.3 G2117 straight G1799 before G3588 G2316 God.

22 G3340 Repent G3767 then G575 from G3588 G2549 [²your evil G1473 G3778 ¹this], G2532 and G1189 beseech G3588 G2316 God! G1487 if G686 then G863 [⁴shall be forgiven G1473 ⁵you G3588 ¹the G1963 ²thought G3588 G2588 ³of your heart]; G1473

23 G1519 for in G1063 G5521 bile G4088 of bitterness, G2532 and G4886 bond G93 of unrighteousness G3708 I see G1473 you G1510.6 being.

24 G611 And responding G1161 G3588 G* Simon G2036 said, G1189 You beseech G1473 G5228 for G1473 me G4314 to G3588 the G2962 Lord! G3704 so that G3367 nothing G1904 should come G1909 upon G1473 me G3739 of which G2046 you have said.

25 G3588 They G3303 indeed G3767 then, G1263 testifying G2532 and G2980 having spoken G3588 the G3056 word G3588 of the G2962 Lord, G5290 returned G1519 unto G* Jerusalem, G4183 and in many G5037 G2968 towns G3588 of the G* Samaritans G2097 they announced good news.

26 G32 And an angel G1161 G2962 of the Lord G2980 spoke G4314 to G* Philip, G3004 saying, G450 Rise up G2532 and G4198 go G2596 according to G3314 the south! G1909 unto G3588 the G3598 way G3588 G2597 going down G575 from G* Jerusalem G1519 unto G* Gaza; G3778 this G1510.2.3 is G2048 wilderness.

27 G2532 And G450 having risen up G4198 he went. G2532 And G2400 behold, G435 there was an Ethiopian man, G* G2135 a eunuch, G1413 a mighty one G* of Candace G3588 the G938 queen G* of the Ethiopians, G3739 who G1510.7.3 was G1909 over G3956 all G3588 G1047 her treasury, G1473 G3739 who G2064 had come G4352 to do obeisance G1519 in G* Jerusalem.

28 G1510.7.3 And he was G5037 G5290 returning, G2532 and G2521 sitting G1909 upon G3588 G716 his chariot. G1473 G314 And he read G3588 the G4396 prophet G* Isaiah.

29 G2036 [⁴said G1161 G1161 ¹And G3588 ²the G4151 ³spirit] G3588 G* to Philip, G4334 Draw near G2532 and G2853 join G3588 G716 to this chariot. G3778

30 G4370 And running up, G1161 G3588 G* Philip G191 heard G1473 him G314 reading G3588 the G4396 prophet G* Isaiah, G2532 and G2036 said, G686 Then G1065 indeed G1097 you know G3739 what G314 you read?

31 G3588 G1161 And G2036 he said, G4459 For how G1063 G302 might I be able, G1410 G1437 unless G3361 G5100 someone G3594 should guide G1473 me? G3870 And he appealed to G5037 G3588 G* Philip G305 having ascended G2523 to sit G4862 with G1473 him.

32 G3588 And the G1161 G4042 section G3588 of the G1124 scripture G3739 which G314 he read G1510.7.3 was G3778 this, G5613 As G4263 a sheep G1909 unto G4967 slaughter G71 he was led, G2532 and G5613 as G286 a lamb G1726 before G3588 the one G2751 shearing G1473 it G880 is voiceless, G3779 so G3756 he opens not G455 G3588 G4750 his mouth. G1473

33 G1722 In G3588 G5014 his humiliation G1473 G3588 G2920 his judgment G1473 G142 was taken away. G3588 G1161 And G1074 [³his generation G1473 G5100 ¹who G1334 ²shall describe], G3754 for G142 [² is taken G575 ³from G3588 ⁴the G1093 ⁵earth G3588 G2222 ¹his life]? G1473

34 G611 [⁴responding G1161 ¹And G3588 ²the G2135 ³eunuch] G3588 G* to Philip, G2036 said, G1189 I beseech G1473 you, G4012 concerning G5100 whom G3588 G4396 [²prophet G3004 ³speak G3778 ¹ does this]? G4012 concerning G1438 himself, G2228 or G4012 concerning G2087 some other? G5100

35 G455 [³having opened G1161 ¹And G3588 G* ²Philip] G3588 G4750 his mouth, G1473 G2532 and G756 having begun G575 from G3588 G1124 this scripture, G3778 G2097 announced good news G1473 to him -- G3588 G* Jesus.

36 G5613 And as G1161 G4198 they were going G2596 along G3588 the G3598 way, G2064 they came G1909 upon G5100 some G5204 water. G2532 And G5346 [³says G3588 ¹the G2135 ²eunuch], G2400 Behold, G5204 water, G5100 what G2967 prevents G1473 me G907 to be immersed?

37 G2036 [³said G1161 ¹And G3588 G* ²Philip], G1487 If G4100 you believe G1537 of G3650 your entire G3588 G2588 heart, G1832 it is allowed. G611 And responding G1161 G2036 he said, G4100 I believe G3588 [⁴the G5207 ⁵son G3588 G2316 ⁶of God G1510.1 ³to be G3588 G* ¹Jesus G5547 ²Christ].

38 G2532 And G2753 he urged G2476 [³to stop G3588 ¹the G716 ²chariot]. G2532 And G2597 [²went down G297 ¹both] G1519 into G3588 the G5204 water, G3588 G5037 both G* Philip G2532 and G3588 the G2135 eunuch; G2532 and G907 he immersed G1473 him.

39 G3753 And when G1161 G305 they ascended G1537 from out of G3588 the G5204 water, G4151 spirit G2962 of the Lord G726 seized Philip by force, G3588 G* G2532 and G3756 [³did not G1492 ⁴see G1473 ⁵him G3765 ⁶any longer G3588 ¹the G2135 ²eunuch]; G4198 for he went G1063 G3588 G3598 his way G1473 G5463 rejoicing.

40 G* And Philip G1161 G2147 was found G1519 in G* Azotus; G2532 and G1330 going through G2097 he announced good news to G3588 [²the G4172 ³cities G3956 ¹all] G2193 until G3588 G2064 he came G1473 G1519 unto G* Caesarea.

5 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G2718 [G5631] went down G1519 to G4172 the city G4540 of Samaria, G2784 [G5707] and proclaimed G5547 Anointed G846 to them.

6 G5037 And G3588 the G3793 crowds G3661 with one accord G4337 [G5707] gave heed G5376 to those things which Philip G3004 G5259 [G5746] spoke, G1722 G191 G846 [G5721] hearing G2532 and G991 [G5721] seeing G4592 the signs G3739 which G4160 [G5707] he was performing.

7 G1063 For G169 unclean G4151 spirits, G994 [G5723] crying G3173 with loud G5456 voice, G1831 [G5711] came out G4183 of many G2192 [G5723] that were possessed G1161 and G4183 many G3886 [G5772] sick with palsies, G2532 and G5560 that were lame, G2323 [G5681] were healed.

8 G2532 And G1096 [G5633] there was G3173 great G5479 joy G1722 in G1565 that G4172 city.

9 G1161 But G5100 there was a certain G435 man, G3686 called G4613 Simon, G4391 [G5707] who before G1722 in G3588 the G4172 same city G3096 [G5723] used sorcery, G2532 and G1839 [G5723] bewitched G3588 the G1484 nation G4540 of Samaria, G3004 [G5723] saying G1438 that he G1511 [G5750] was G5100 some G3173 great person:

10 G3739 To whom G3956 they all G4337 [G5707] gave heed, G575 from G3398 the least G2193 to G3173 the greatest, G3004 [G5723] saying, G3778 This man G2076 [G5748] is G3173 the great G1411 power G2316 of God.

11 G1161 And G846 to him G4337 [G5707] they had regard, G1223 because G2425 that for a long G5550 time G1839 [G5760] he had bewitched G846 them G3095 with sorceries.

12 G1161 But G3753 when G4100 [G5656] they believed G3588 G5376 Philip G2097 [G5734] announcing the good news G3588 G4012 concerning G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 of G2316 God, G2532 and G3588 the G3686 name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Anointed, G907 [G5712] they were baptized, G5037 both G435 men G2532 and G1135 women.

13 G1161 Then G4613 Simon G846 himself G4100 [G5656] believed G2532 also: G2532 and G907 [G5685] having been baptized, G2258 [G5713] was G4342 [G5723] constantly attending G5376 with Philip, G5037 and G1839 [G5710] was amazed, G2334 [G5723] beholding G1411 the powerful works G2532 and G4592 signs G1096 [G5740] being done.

14 G1161 Now G652 when the apostles G3588 who G1722 were at G2414 Jerusalem G191 [G5660] heard G3754 that G4540 Samaria G1209 [G5766] had received G3056 the word G2316 of God, G649 [G5656] they sent G4314 to G846 them G4074 Peter G2532 and G2491 John:

15 G3748 Who, G2597 [G5631] when they had come down, G4336 [G5662] prayed G4012 for G846 them, G3704 that G2983 [G5632] they might receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit:

16 G1063 (For G3768 as yet G2258 [G5713] he had G1968 [G5761] fallen G1909 upon G3762 none G846 of them: G3440 G1161 only G5225 [G5707] they were G907 [G5772] baptized G1519 in G3686 the name G2962 of the Lord G2424 Jesus.)

17 G5119 Then G2007 [G5707] they laid G5495 their hands G1909 on G846 them, G2532 and G2983 [G5707] they received G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

18 G1161 And G4613 when Simon G2300 [G5666] saw G3754 that G1223 through G1936 laying on G652 of the apostles' G5495 hands G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit G1325 [G5743] was given, G4374 [G5656] he offered G846 them G5536 money,

19 G3004 [G5723] Saying, G1325 [G5628] Give G2504 me also G5026 this G1849 authority, G2443 that G2007 0 on G3739 G1437 whomever G2007 [G5632] I lay G5495 hands, G2983 [G5725] he may receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

20 G1161 But G4074 Peter G2036 [G5627] said G4314 to G846 him, G4675 Thy G694 money G1498 [G5751] may be G4862 with G4671 thee G1519 unto G684 loss, G3754 because G3543 [G5656] thou hast thought G3588 that the G1431 gift G3588 G2316 of God G2932 [G5738] may be acquired G1223 through G5536 money.

21 G4671 Thou G2076 [G5748] hast G3756 neither G3310 part G3761 nor G2819 lot G1722 in G5129 this G3056 matter: G1063 for G4675 thy G2588 heart G2076 [G5748] is G3756 not G2117 straight G1799 in the sight G2316 of God.

22 G3340 [G5657] Change thy mind G3767 therefore G575 from G5026 this G4675 thy G2549 wickedness, G2532 and G1189 [G5676] beseech G2316 God, G1487 if G686 perhaps G1963 the thought G4675 of thy G2588 heart G863 [G5701] may be forgiven G4671 thee.

23 G1063 For G3708 [G5719] I perceive G4571 that thou G5607 [G5752] art G1519 in G5521 the gall G4088 of bitterness, G2532 and G4886 in the bond G93 of injustice.

24 G1161 Then G611 [G5679] answered G4613 Simon, G2036 [G5627] and said, G1189 [G5676] Beseech G5210 ye G4314 to G2962 the Lord G5228 for G1700 me, G3704 that G3367 none of these things G3739 which G2046 [G5758] ye have spoken G1904 [G5632] come G1909 upon G1691 me.

25 G3303 G3767 And they, when G1263 [G5666] they had testified G2532 and G2980 [G5660] having spoken G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord, G5290 [G5656] returned G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem, G5037 and G2097 [G5668] announced the good news G4183 in many G2968 villages G4541 of the Samaritans.

26 G1161 And G32 the messenger G2962 of the Lord G2980 [G5656] spoke G4314 to G5376 Philip, G3004 [G5723] saying, G450 [G5628] Arise, G2532 and G4198 [G5737] go G2596 toward G3314 the south G1909 to G3588 the G3598 way G2597 [G5723] that goeth down G575 from G2419 Jerusalem G1519 unto G1048 Gaza, G3778 which G2076 [G5748] is G2048 desert.

27 G2532 And G450 [G5631] having arisen G4198 [G5675] he went: G2532 and, G2400 [G5628] behold, G435 a man G128 of Ethiopia, G2135 an eunuch, G1413 a powerful one G2582 under Candace G3588 the G938 queen G128 of the Ethiopians, G3739 who G2258 [G5713] had G1909 the charge of G3956 all G846 her G1047 treasure, G3739 and G2064 [G5715] had come G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G4352 [G5694] to bow before,

28 G2258 [G5713] He was G5037 both G5290 [G5723] returning, G2532 and G2521 [G5740] sitting G1909 in G846 his G716 G2532 chariot, G2532 and G314 [G5707] was reading G3588 the G4396 prophet G2268 Isaiah.

29 G1161 Then G4151 the Spirit G2036 [G5627] said G5376 to Philip, G4334 [G5628] Go near, G2532 and G2853 [G5682] join thyself to G5129 this G716 chariot.

30 G1161 And G5376 Philip G4370 [G5631] ran G191 [G5656] to him, and heard G846 him G314 [G5723] reading G4396 the prophet G2268 Isaiah, G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said, G687 G1065 G1097 [G5719] Understandest thou G3739 what G314 [G5719] thou readest?

31 G1161 And G2036 [G5627] he said, G1063 G4459 How G302 G1410 [G5739] can I, G3362 except G5100 some man G3594 [G5661] should guide G3165 me? G5037 And G3870 [G5656] he besought G5376 Philip G305 [G5631] that he would come up G2523 [G5658] and sit G4862 with G846 him.

32 G1161 G4042 The place G1124 of the scripture G3739 which G314 [G5707] he read G2258 [G5713] was G3778 this, G71 [G5681] He was led G5613 as G4263 a sheep G1909 to G4967 the slaughter; G2532 and G5613 like G286 a lamb G880 voiceless G1726 before G846 his G2751 [G5723] shearer, G3779 so G455 [G5719] he opened G3756 not G846 his G4750 mouth:

33 G1722 In G846 his G5014 humiliation G846 his G2920 judgment G142 [G5681] was taken away: G1161 and G5101 who G1334 [G5695] shall declare G846 his G1074 generation? G3754 for G846 his G2222 life G142 [G5743] is taken G575 from G1093 the earth.

34 G1161 And G2135 the eunuch G611 [G5679] answered G5376 Philip, G2036 [G5627] and said, G1189 [G5736] I beseech G4675 thee, G4012 of G5101 whom G3004 [G5719] speaketh G4396 the prophet G5124 this? G4012 of G1438 himself, G2228 or G4012 of G5100 some G2087 other man?

35 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G455 [G5660] opened G846 his G4750 mouth, G2532 and G756 [G5671] began G575 at G5026 the same G1124 scripture, G2097 [G5668] and announced the good news G846 to him G3588 of G2424 Jesus.

36 G1161 And G5613 as G4198 [G5711] they went G2596 on G3598 their way, G2064 [G5627] they came G1909 to G5100 a certain G5204 water: G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G5346 [G5748] said, G2400 [G5628] Behold, G5204 here is water; G5101 what G2967 [G5719] doth hinder G3165 me G907 [G5683] to be baptized?

37 G1161 And G5376 Philip G2036 [G5627] said, G1487 If G4100 [G5719] thou believest G1537 with G3650 all thine G2588 heart, G1832 [G5748] it is allowed. G1161 And G611 [G5679] he answered G2036 [G5627] and said, G4100 [G5719] I believe G2424 that Jesus G5547 Anointed G1511 [G5750] is G5207 the Son G2316 of God.

38 G2532 And G2753 [G5656] he commanded G716 the chariot G2476 [G5629] to stand still: G2532 and G297 they both G2597 [G5627] went down G1519 into G5204 the water, G5037 both G5376 Philip G2532 and G2135 the eunuch; G2532 and G907 [G5656] he baptized G846 him.

39 G1161 And G3753 when G305 [G5627] they had come up G1537 out of G5204 the water, G4151 the Spirit G2962 of the Lord G726 [G5656] caught away G5376 Philip, G2532 and G3588 the G2135 eunuch G1492 G3756 [G5627] saw G846 him G3765 no more: G1063 and G4198 [G5711] he went G846 on his G3598 way G5463 [G5723] rejoicing.

40 G1161 But G5376 Philip G2147 [G5681] was found G1519 at G108 Azotus: G2532 and G1330 [G5740] passing G2097 [G5710] through he announced good news G3956 in all G4172 the cities, G2193 till G846 he G2064 [G5629] came G1519 to G2542 Caesarea.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Facta est autem in illa die persecutio magna in ecclesia quæ erat Jerosolymis, et omnes dispersi sunt per regiones Judææ et Samariæ præter Apostolos. ² Curaverunt autem Stephanum viri timorati, et fecerunt planctum magnum super eum. ³ Saulus autem devastabat ecclesiam per domos intrans, et trahens viros ac mulieres, tradebat in custodiam. ⁴ Igitur qui dispersi erant pertransibant, evangelizantes verbum Dei. ⁵ Philippus autem descendens in civitatem Samariæ, prædicabant illis Christum. ⁶ Intendebant autem turbæ his quæ a Philippo dicebantur, unanimiter audientes, et videntes signa quæ faciebat. ⁷ Multi enim eorum qui habebant spiritus immundos, clamantes voce magna exibant. Multi autem paralytici et claudi curati sunt. ⁸ Factum est ergo gaudium magnum in illa civitate. ⁹ Vir autem quidam nomine Simon, qui ante fuerat in civitate magnus, seducens gentem Samariæ, dicens se esse aliquem magnum: ¹⁰ cui auscultabant omnes a minimo usque ad maximum, dicentes: Hic est virtus Dei, quæ vocatur magna. ¹¹ Attendebant autem eum: propter quod multo tempore magiis suis dementasset eos. ¹² Cum vero credidissent Philippo evangelizanti de regno Dei, in nomine Jesu Christi baptizabantur viri ac mulieres. ¹³ Tunc Simon et ipse credidit: et cum baptizatus esset, adhærebat Philippo. Videns etiam signa et virtutes maximas fieri, stupens admirabatur. ¹⁴ Cum autem audissent Apostoli qui erant Jerosolymis, quod recepisset Samaria verbum Dei, miserunt ad eos Petrum et Joannem. ¹⁵ Qui cum venissent, oraverunt pro ipsis ut acciperent Spiritum Sanctum: ¹⁶ nondum enim in quemquam illorum venerat, sed baptizati tantum erant in nomine Domini Jesu. ¹⁷ Tunc imponebant manus super illos, et accipiebant Spiritum Sanctum. ¹⁸ Cum vidisset autem Simon quia per impositionem manus Apostolorum daretur Spiritus Sanctus, obtulit eis pecuniam, ¹⁹ dicens: Date et mihi hanc potestatem, ut cuicumque imposuero manus, accipiat Spiritum Sanctum. Petrus autem dixit ad eum: ²⁰ Pecunia tua tecum sit in perditionem: quoniam donum Dei existimasti pecunia possideri. ²¹ Non est tibi pars neque sors in sermone isto: cor enim tuum non est rectum coram Deo. ²² Pœnitentiam itaque age ab hac nequitia tua: et roga Deum, si forte remittatur tibi hæc cogitatio cordis tui. ²³ In felle enim amaritudinis, et obligatione iniquitatis, video te esse. ²⁴ Respondens autem Simon, dixit: Precamini vos pro me ad Dominum, ut nihil veniat super me horum quæ dixistis. ²⁵ Et illi quidem testificati, et locuti verbum Domini, redibant Jerosolymam, et multis regionibus Samaritanorum evangelizabant. ²⁶ Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Philippum, dicens: Surge, et vade contra meridianum, ad viam quæ descendit ab Jerusalem in Gazam: hæc est deserta. ²⁷ Et surgens abiit. Et ecce vir Æthiops, eunuchus, potens Candacis reginæ Æthiopum, qui erat super omnes gazas ejus, venerat adorare in Jerusalem: ²⁸ et revertebatur sedens super currum suum, legensque Isaiam prophetam. ²⁹ { Dixit autem Spiritus Philippo: Accede, et adjunge te ad currum istum.} ³⁰ Accurrens autem Philippus, audivit eum legentem Isaiam prophetam, et dixit: Putasne intelligis quæ legis? ³¹ Qui ait: Et quomodo possum, si non aliquis ostenderit mihi? Rogavitque Philippum ut ascenderet, et sederet secum. ³² Locus autem Scripturæ quem legebat, erat hic: [Tamquam ovis ad occisionem ductus est: et sicut agnus coram tondente se, sine voce, sic non aperuit os suum. ³³ In humilitate judicium ejus sublatum est. Generationem ejus quis enarrabit? quoniam tolletur de terra vita ejus.] ³⁴ Respondens autem eunuchus Philippo, dixit: Obsecro te, de quo propheta dicit hoc? de se, an de alio aliquo? ³⁵ Aperiens autem Philippus os suum, et incipiens a Scriptura ista, evangelizavit illi Jesum. ³⁶ Et dum irent per viam, venerunt ad quamdam aquam: et ait eunuchus: Ecce aqua: quid prohibet me baptizari? ³⁷ Dixit autem Philippus: Si credis ex toto corde, licet. Et respondens ait: Credo Filium Dei esse Jesum Christum. ³⁸ Et jussit stare currum: et descenderunt uterque in aquam, Philippus et eunuchus, et baptizavit eum. ³⁹ Cum autem ascendissent de aqua, Spiritus Domini rapuit Philippum, et amplius non vidit eum eunuchus. Ibat autem per viam suam gaudens. ⁴⁰ Philippus autem inventus est in Azoto, et pertransiens evangelizabat civitatibus cunctis, donec veniret Cæsaream.

But there was a man in that citee, whos name was Symount, a witche, that hadde disseyued the folc of Samarie, seiynge, that him silf was sum greet man. ¹⁰ Whom alle herkeneden, fro the leest to the moost, and seiden, This is the vertu of God, which is clepid greet. ¹¹ And thei leueden hym, for long tyme he hadde maddid hem with his witche craftis. ¹² But whanne thei hadden bileued to Filip, `that prechide of the kingdom of God, men and wymmen weren baptisid in the name of Jhesu Crist. ¹³ And thanne also Symount him silf bileued; and whanne he was baptisid, he drouy to Filip; and he sai also that signes and grete vertues weren don, he was astonyed, and wondride. ¹⁴ But whanne the apostlis that weren at Jerusalem, hadden herd that Samarie hadde resseyued the word of God, thei senten to hem Petre and Joon. ¹⁵ And whanne thei camen, thei preieden for hem, that thei schulden resseyue the Hooli Goost; ¹⁶ for he cam not yit in to ony of hem, but thei weren baptisid oonli in the name of the Lord Jhesu. ¹⁷ Thanne thei leiden hoondis on hem, and thei resseyueden the Hooli Goost. ¹⁸ And whanne Symount hadde seyn, that the Hooly Goost was youun bi leiyng on of the hoondis of the apostlis, and he proferide to hem money, and seide, ¹⁹ Yyue ye also to me this power, that whom euere Y schal leye on myn hoondis, that he resseyue the Hooli Goost. ²⁰ But Petir seide to hym, Thi money be with thee into perdicioun, for thou gessidist the yifte of God schulde be had for monei. ²¹ Ther is no part, ne sort to thee, in this word, for thin herte is not riytful bifor God. ²² Therfor do thou penaunce for this wickidnesse of thee, and preie God, if perauenture this thouyt of thin herte be foryouun to thee. ²³ For Y se that thou art in the gall of bitternesse and in the boond of wickidnesse. ²⁴ And Symount answeride, and seide, Preie ye for me to the Lord, that no thing of these thingis that ye han seid, com on me. ²⁵ And thei witnessiden, and spaken the word of the Lord, and yeden ayen to Jerusalem, and prechiden to many cuntrees of Samaritans. ²⁶ And an aungel of the Lord spak to Filip, and seide, Ryse thou, and go ayens the south, to the weie that goith doun fro Jerusalem in to Gasa; this is desert. ²⁷ And he roos, and wente forth. And lo! a man of Ethiopie, a myyti man seruaunt, a yelding of Candace, the queen of Ethiopiens, which was on alle her richessis, cam to worschipe in Jerusalem. ²⁸ And he turnede ayen, sittinge on his chare, and redinge Isaie, the profete. ²⁹ And the spirit seide to Filip, Neiye thou, and ioyne thee to this chare. ³⁰ And Filip `ran to, and herde hym redynge Ysaie, the prophete. And he seide, Gessist thou, whether thou vndirstondist, what thingis thou redist? ³¹ And he seide, How may Y, if no man schewe to me? And he preiede Filip, that he schulde come vp, and sitte with hym. ³² And the place of the scripture that he redde, was this, As a scheep he was led to sleyng, and as a lomb bifor a man that scherith him is doumb with out vois, so he openyde not his mouth. ³³ In mekenesse his dom was takun vp; who schal telle out the generacioun of hym? For his lijf schal be takun awei fro the erthe. ³⁴ And the gelding answeride to Filip, and seide, Y biseche thee, of `what profete seith he this thing? of him silf, ethir of ony othere? ³⁵ And Filip openyde his mouth, and bigan at this scripture, and prechide to him Jhesu. ³⁶ And the while thei wenten bi the weie, thei camen to a water. And the gelding seide, Lo! watir; who forbedith me to be baptisid? ³⁷ And Filip seide, If thou bileuest of al the herte, it is leueful. And he answeride, and seide, Y bileue that Jhesu Crist is the sone of God. ³⁸ And he comaundide the chare to stonde stille. And thei wenten doun bothe into the watir, Filip and the gelding, and Filip baptiside hym. ³⁹ And whanne thei weren come vp of the watir, the spirit of the Lord rauyschide Filip, and the gelding say hym no more. ⁴⁰ And Filip was foundun in Azotus; and he passide forth, and prechide to alle citees, til he cam to Cesarie.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul had pleasure in his death. At ye same tyme there was a greate persecucion ouer the congregacion at Ierusale. And they were all scatered abrode in the regions of Iewrye & Samaria, excepte the Apostles. ² As for Steuen, men yt feared God dressed him, and made greate lamentacion ouer him. ³ But Saul made hauocke of the congregacion, entred in to euery house, and drue out men & wemen, & delyuered the to preson. ⁴ They now yt were scatered abrode wete aboute & preached the worde. ⁵ The came Philippe in to a cite of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them. ⁶ And the people gaue hede with one acorde vnto ye thinges that Philip spake, hearinge him, and seynge the tokes that he dyd. ⁷ For the vncleane spretes cryed loude, and departed out of many yt were possessed.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul had pleasure in his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the congregation which was at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Jewry and Samaria, except the apostles. ² Then devout men dressed Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul made havoc of the congregation, entering into every house: and drew out both man and woman, and thrust them into prison. ⁴ Howbeit, they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word. ⁵ Then came Philip into a city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. ⁶ And the people gave heed unto those things which Philip spake with one accord, in that they heard and saw the miracles which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed of them. And many taken with palsies, and many that halted, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ And there was a certain man called Simon, which beforetime in the same city, used witchcraft and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he was a man that could do great things. ¹⁰ Whom they regarded, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This fellow is the great power of God." ¹¹ And him they set much by, because of long time with sorcery he had mocked their wits. ¹² But as soon as they believed Philip's preaching of the kingdom of God and of the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised: both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself believed also, and was baptised. And continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were showed. ¹⁴ When the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard say that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: ¹⁵ which, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the holy ghost. ¹⁶ For as yet he was come on none of them: But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Jesus. ¹⁷ Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the holy ghost. ¹⁸ When Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands on them, the holy ghost was given: he offered them money, saying, ¹⁹ "Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I put the hands, he may receive the holy ghost." ²⁰ Then said Peter unto him, "Thy money perish with thee, because thou wenest that the gift of God may be obtained with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this business. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent, therefore, of this thy wickedness, and pray God that the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art full of bitter gall, and wrapped in iniquity." ²⁴ Then answered Simon, and said, "Pray ye to the Lord for me that none of these things which ye have spoken fall on me." ²⁵ And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned toward Jerusalem and preached the gospel in many cities of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Then the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, "Arise and go towards midday unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is in the desert." ²⁷ And he arose and went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia which was a chamberlain and of great authority with Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and had the rule of all her treasure, came to Jerusalem for to pray. ²⁸ And as he returned home again, sitting in his chariot, he read Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ Then the spirit said unto Philip, "Go near, and join thyself to yonder chariot." ³⁰ And Philip ran to him, and heard him read Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Understandest thou what thou readest?" ³¹ And he said, "How can I, except I had a guide?" And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. ³² The tenor of the scripture which he read was this, "He was led as a sheep to be slain: And like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth. ³³ Because of his humbleness, he was not esteemed. Who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth." ³⁴ The chamberlain answered Philip, and said, "I pray thee of whom speaketh the prophet this? Of himself? Or of some other man?" ³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water, and the chamberlain said, "See: here is water, what shall let me to be baptised?" ³⁷ Philip said unto him, "If thou believe with all thine heart, thou mayest." He answered, and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God." ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they went down both into the water: both Philip and also the chamberlain. And he baptised him. ³⁹ And as soon as they were come out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; that the chamberlain saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing: ⁴⁰ but Philip was found at Azotus. And he walked throughout the country preaching in their cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul consented to his death, and at that time, there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abroad thorowe the regions of Iudea and of Samaria, except the Apostles. ² Then certaine men fearing God, caried Steuen amongs them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him. ³ But Saul made hauocke of the Church, and entred into euery house, and drewe out both men and women, and put them into prison. ⁴ Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and from preaching the worde. ⁵ Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them. ⁶ And the people gaue heed vnto those things which Philippe spake, with one accorde, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. ⁷ For vncleane spirits crying with a loud voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them: and many taken with palsies, and that halted, were healed. ⁸ And there was great ioy in that citie. ⁹ And there was before in the citie a certaine man called Simon, which vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he himselfe was some great man. ¹⁰ To whome they gaue heede from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God. ¹¹ And they gaue heed vnto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. ¹² But assoone as they beleeued Philip, which preached the thinges that concerned the kingdome of God, and the Name of Iesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himselfe beleeued also and was baptized, and continued with Philippe, and wondred, when he sawe the signes and great miracles which were done. ¹⁴ Nowe when the Apostles, which were at Hierusalem, heard say, that Samaria had receiued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn. ¹⁵ Which whe they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receiue the holy Ghost. ¹⁶ (For as yet, hee was fallen downe on none of them, but they were baptized onely in the Name of the Lord Iesus.) ¹⁷ Then layd they their handes on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And when Simon sawe, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the holy Ghost was giuen, he offred them money, ¹⁹ Saying, Giue mee also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay the handes, he may receiue the holy Ghost. ²⁰ Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this businesse: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickednes, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee. ²³ For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes, and in the bonde of iniquitie. ²⁴ Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me. ²⁵ So they, when they had testified and preached the worde of the Lord, returned to Hierusalem, and preached the Gospel in many townes of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Then the Angel of the Lord spake vnto Philip, saying, Arise, and goe towarde the South vnto the way that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is waste. ²⁷ And hee arose and went on: and beholde, a certaine Eunuche of Ethiopia, Candaces the Queene of the Ethiopians chiefe Gouernour, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Hierusalem to worship: ²⁸ And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet. ³⁰ And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide?

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And at that time, there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral and made great mourning over him. ³ But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house: and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison. ⁴ They therefore that were dispersed went about preaching the word of God. ⁵ And Philip, going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. ⁶ And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did. ⁷ For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out. ⁸ And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed. ⁹ There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one: ¹⁰ To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great. ¹¹ And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices. ¹² But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself believed also and, being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done. ¹⁴ Now, when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. ¹⁵ Who, when they were come, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost. ¹⁶ For he was not as yet come upon any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them: and they received the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that, by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him: ²⁰ Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee: because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness: and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity. ²⁴ Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ And they indeed, having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem: and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert. ²⁷ And rising up, he went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore. ²⁸ And he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading Isaias the prophet. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? ³¹ Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. ³² And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter: and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth. ³³ In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth? ³⁴ And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? Of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said: See, here is water: What doth hinder me from being baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch. And he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip: and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found in Azotus: and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

And G1722 at G1565 that G2250 time G1096 there was [G5633] G3173 a great G1375 persecution G1909 against G1577 the church G3588 which G1722 was at G2414 Jerusalem G5037 ; and G1289 they were G3956 all G1289 scattered abroad [G5681] G2596 throughout G5561 the regions G2449 of Judaea G2532 and G4540 Samaria G4133 , except G652 the apostles.

2 G1161 And G2126 devout G435 men G4792 carried [G5656] G4736 Stephen G2532 to his burial, and G4160 made [G5668] G3173 great G2870 lamentation G1909 over G846 him.

3 G1161 As G4569 for Saul G3075 , he made havock [G5711] G1577 of the church G1531 , entering into [G5740] G2596 every G3624 house G4951 , and haling [G5723] G5037 G435 men G2532 and G1135 women G3860 committed [G5707] G1519 them to G5438 prison.

4 G3767 Therefore G3303 G1289 they that were scattered abroad [G5651] G1330 went every where [G5627] G2097 preaching [G5734] G3056 the word.

5 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G2718 went down [G5631] G1519 to G4172 the city G4540 of Samaria G2784 , and preached [G5707] G5547 Christ G846 unto them.

6 G5037 And G3793 the people G3661 with one accord G4337 gave heed [G5707] G5376 unto those things which Philip G3004 spake [G5746] G5259 G1722 , hearing G191 [G5721] G846 G2532 and G991 seeing [G5721] G4592 the miracles G3739 which G4160 he did [G5707] .

7 G1063 For G169 unclean G4151 spirits G994 , crying [G5723] G3173 with loud G5456 voice G1831 , came out [G5711] G4183 of many G2192 that were possessed [G5723] G1161 with them : and G4183 many G3886 taken with palsies [G5772] G2532 , and G5560 that were lame G2323 , were healed [G5681] .

8 G2532 And G1096 there was [G5633] G3173 great G5479 joy G1722 in G1565 that G4172 city.

9 G1161 But G5100 there was a certain G435 man G3686 , called G4613 Simon G4391 , which beforetime [G5707] G1722 in G4172 the same city G3096 used sorcery [G5723] G2532 , and G1839 bewitched [G5723] G1484 the people G4540 of Samaria G3004 , giving out [G5723] G1438 that himself G1511 was [G5750] G5100 some G3173 great one:

10 G3739 To whom G3956 they all G4337 gave heed [G5707] G575 , from G3398 the least G2193 to G3173 the greatest G3004 , saying [G5723] G3778 , This man G2076 is [G5748] G3173 the great G1411 power G2316 of God.

11 G1161 And G846 to him G4337 they had regard [G5707] G1223 , because G2425 that of long G5550 time G1839 he had bewitched [G5760] G846 them G3095 with sorceries.

12 G1161 But G3753 when G4100 they believed [G5656] G5376 Philip G2097 preaching [G5734] G4012 the things concerning G932 the kingdom G2316 of God G2532 , and G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G907 , they were baptized [G5712] G5037 , both G435 men G2532 and G1135 women.

13 G1161 Then G4613 Simon G846 himself G4100 believed [G5656] G2532 also G2532 : and G907 when he was baptized [G5685] G2258 , he continued [G5713] G4342 [G5723] G5376 with Philip G5037 , and G1839 wondered [G5710] G2334 , beholding [G5723] G1411 the miracles G2532 and G4592 signs G3173 G1096 which were done [G5740] [G5625] G1096 [G5740] .

14 G1161 Now G652 when the apostles G3588 which G1722 were at G2414 Jerusalem G191 heard [G5660] G3754 that G4540 Samaria G1209 had received [G5766] G3056 the word G2316 of God G649 , they sent [G5656] G4314 unto G846 them G4074 Peter G2532 and G2491 John:

15 G3748 Who G2597 , when they were come down [G5631] G4336 , prayed [G5662] G4012 for G846 them G3704 , that G2983 they might receive [G5632] G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost:

16 G1063 (For G3768 as yet G2258 he was [G5713] G1968 fallen [G5761] G1909 upon G3762 none G846 of them G3440 : only G1161 G5225 they were [G5707] G907 baptized [G5772] G1519 in G3686 the name G2962 of the Lord G2424 Jesus.)

17 G5119 Then G2007 laid they [G5707] G5495 their hands G1909 on G846 them G2532 , and G2983 they received [G5707] G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost.

18 G1161 And G4613 when Simon G2300 saw [G5666] G3754 that G1223 through G1936 laying on G652 of the apostles G5495 ' hands G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost G1325 was given [G5743] G4374 , he offered [G5656] G846 them G5536 money,

19 G3004 Saying [G5723] G1325 , Give [G5628] G2504 me also G5026 this G1849 power G2443 , that G2007 on G3739 whomsoever G1437 G2007 I lay [G5632] G5495 hands G2983 , he may receive [G5725] G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost.

20 G1161 But G4074 Peter G2036 said [G5627] G4314 unto G846 him G4675 , Thy G694 money G1498 perish [G5751] G1519 G684 G4862 with G4671 thee G3754 , because G3543 thou hast thought [G5656] G1431 that the gift G2316 of God G2932 may be purchased [G5738] G1223 with G5536 money.

21 G4671 Thou G2076 hast [G5748] G3756 neither G3310 part G3761 nor G2819 lot G1722 in G5129 this G3056 matter G1063 : for G4675 thy G2588 heart G2076 is [G5748] G3756 not G2117 right G1799 in the sight G2316 of God.

22 G3340 Repent [G5657] G3767 therefore G575 of G5026 this G4675 thy G2549 wickedness G2532 , and G1189 pray [G5676] G2316 God G1487 , if G686 perhaps G1963 the thought G4675 of thine G2588 heart G863 may be forgiven [G5701] G4671 thee.

23 G1063 For G3708 I perceive [G5719] G4571 that thou G5607 art [G5752] G1519 in G5521 the gall G4088 of bitterness G2532 , and G4886 in the bond G93 of iniquity.

24 G1161 Then G611 answered [G5679] G4613 Simon G2036 , and said [G5627] G1189 , Pray [G5676] G5210 ye G4314 to G2962 the Lord G5228 for G1700 me G3704 , that G3367 none of these things G3739 which G2046 ye have spoken [G5758] G1904 come [G5632] G1909 upon G1691 me.

25 G3303 And they, when G3767 G1263 they had testified [G5666] G2532 and G2980 preached [G5660] G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord G5290 , returned [G5656] G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G5037 , and G2097 preached the gospel [G5668] G4183 in many G2968 villages G4541 of the Samaritans.

26 G1161 And G32 the angel G2962 of the Lord G2980 spake [G5656] G4314 unto G5376 Philip G3004 , saying [G5723] G450 , Arise [G5628] G2532 , and G4198 go [G5737] G2596 toward G3314 the south G1909 unto G3598 the way G2597 that goeth down [G5723] G575 from G2419 Jerusalem G1519 unto G1048 Gaza G3778 , which G2076 is [G5748] G2048 desert.

27 G2532 And G450 he arose [G5631] G4198 and went [G5675] G2532 : and G2400 , behold [G5628] G435 , a man G128 of Ethiopia G2135 , an eunuch G1413 of great authority G2582 under Candace G938 queen G128 of the Ethiopians G3739 , who G2258 had [G5713] G1909 the charge of G3956 all G846 her G1047 treasure G3739 , and G2064 had come [G5715] G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G4352 for to worship [G5694] ,

28 G5037 G2258 Was [G5713] G5290 returning [G5723] G2532 , and G2521 sitting [G5740] G1909 in G846 his G716 chariot G2532 G314 read [G5707] G2268 Esaias G4396 the prophet.

29 G1161 Then G4151 the Spirit G2036 said [G5627] G5376 unto Philip G4334 , Go near [G5628] G2532 , and G2853 join thyself to [G5682] G5129 this G716 chariot.

30 G1161 And G5376 Philip G4370 ran [G5631] G191 thither to him, and heard [G5656] G846 him G314 read [G5723] G4396 the prophet G2268 Esaias G2532 , and G2036 said [G5627] G687 , Understandest thou G1065 G1097 [G5719] G3739 what G314 thou readest [G5719] ?

31 G1161 And G2036 he said [G5627] G1063 , How G4459 G302 can I G1410 [G5739] G3362 , except G5100 some man G3594 should guide [G5661] G3165 me G5037 ? And G3870 he desired [G5656] G5376 Philip G305 that he would come up [G5631] G2523 and sit [G5658] G4862 with G846 him.

32 G1161 G4042 The place G1124 of the scripture G3739 which G314 he read [G5707] G2258 was [G5713] G3778 this G71 , He was led [G5681] G5613 as G4263 a sheep G1909 to G4967 the slaughter G2532 ; and G5613 like G286 a lamb G880 dumb G1726 before G846 his G2751 shearer [G5723] G3779 , so G455 opened he [G5719] G3756 not G846 his G4750 mouth:

33 G1722 In G846 his G5014 humiliation G846 his G2920 judgment G142 was taken away [G5681] G1161 : and G5101 who G1334 shall declare [G5695] G846 his G1074 generation G3754 ? for G846 his G2222 life G142 is taken [G5743] G575 from G1093 the earth.

34 G1161 And G2135 the eunuch G611 answered [G5679] G5376 Philip G2036 , and said [G5627] G1189 , I pray [G5736] G4675 thee G4012 , of G5101 whom G3004 speaketh [G5719] G4396 the prophet G5124 this G4012 ? of G1438 himself G2228 , or G4012 of G5100 some G2087 other man?

35 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G455 opened [G5660] G846 his G4750 mouth G2532 , and G756 began [G5671] G575 at G5026 the same G1124 scripture G2097 , and preached [G5668] G846 unto him G2424 Jesus.

36 G1161 And G5613 as G4198 they went [G5711] G2596 on G3598 their way G2064 , they came [G5627] G1909 unto G5100 a certain G5204 water G2532 : and G2135 the eunuch G5346 said [G5748] G2400 , See [G5628] G5204 , here is water G5101 ; what G2967 doth hinder [G5719] G3165 me G907 to be baptized [G5683] ?

37 G1161 And G5376 Philip G2036 said [G5627] G1487 , If G4100 thou believest [G5719] G1537 with G3650 all thine G2588 heart G1832 , thou mayest [G5748] G1161 . And G611 he answered [G5679] G2036 and said [G5627] G4100 , I believe [G5719] G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G1511 is [G5750] G5207 the Son G2316 of God.

38 G2532 And G2753 he commanded [G5656] G716 the chariot G2476 to stand still [G5629] G2532 : and G2597 they went down [G5627] G297 both G1519 into G5204 the water G5037 , both G5376 Philip G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G2532 ; and G907 he baptized [G5656] G846 him.

39 G1161 And G3753 when G305 they were come up [G5627] G1537 out of G5204 the water G4151 , the Spirit G2962 of the Lord G726 caught away [G5656] G5376 Philip G2532 , G2135 that the eunuch G1492 saw [G5627] G3756 G846 him G3765 no more G1063 : and G4198 he went [G5711] G846 on his G3598 way G5463 rejoicing [G5723] .

40 G1161 But G5376 Philip G2147 was found [G5681] G1519 at G108 Azotus G2532 : and G1330 passing [G5740] G2097 through he preached [G5710] G3956 in all G4172 the cities G2193 , till G846 he G2064 came [G5629] G1519 to G2542 Caesarea.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ and Saul was accessory to his death. At that time the persecution was so violent against the church at Jerusalem, they were all dispers'd through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles, ² and some devout men who carried Stephen to his burial, making great lamentation over him. ³ as for Saul, he made havock of the Church, entring into their houses, whence he dragg'd away both men and women, to throw them into prison. ⁴ but they that were dispers'd, preach'd the gospel wherever they went. ⁵ Philip being arrived at Samaria, preached Christ to them. ⁶ the people attended with great unanimity, hearing his discourses, and observing the miracles he wrought. ⁷ for the impure spirits, with great outcries, came out of many that were possessed: many paralytic, and lame people were cured. ⁸ which caused great joy in that city. ⁹ One Simon was then resident in that place, who pretended to be something extra-ordinary, and by his magical practices had so enchanted the people of Samaria, ¹⁰ that they all followed him, both old and young. this man, said they, is the plenipotentiary of God. ¹¹ no wonder they were so attach'd to one, who had for a long time infatuated them with his arts. ¹² but when they had embraced the doctrine of Philip, concerning the kingdom of the Messias, and the authority of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ nay, Simon himself became a proselyte: and after he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and was transported at the sight of the miracles and prodigies which he perform'd. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem, heard that the Samaritans had embraced the word of God, they sent Peter and John, ¹⁵ who upon their arrival, prayed for them that they might receive the holy spirit. ¹⁶ (for as yet he had not descended on any of them: they having only been baptized in the name of the Lord ¹⁷ Jesus) the apostles therefore gave them imposition of hands, and they received the holy spirit. ¹⁸ when Simon saw that the holy spirit was given by imposition of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money, saying, ¹⁹ give me too this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands he may receive the holy spirit. ²⁰ but Peter said unto him, thy money perish with thee, for thinking that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ thou hast no manner of share in this gift: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, to forgive, if it be possible, this suggestion you have entertain'd. ²³ for I perceive you are upon the brink of misery, led captive by your sin. ²⁴ Simon answered, do you pray to the Lord for me, that nothing like what you mention may befall me. ²⁵ after this the apostles having certified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel by the way in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, arise, and go toward the south, by the way that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza, in the desart. ²⁷ accordingly he departed: and met a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and was her high-treasurer: he had been at Jerusalem, to perform the duties of a proselyte, ²⁸ but was now upon his return, and sat in his chariot, reading the prophet Esaias. ²⁹ then the spirit said unto Philip, go near, and advance to his chariot. ³⁰ Philip ran to him, and hearing him read the prophet Esaias, said, do you understand what you read? ³¹ how can I, answer'd he, without some expositor? and he desired Philip to mount, and sit with him. ³² the passage of the scripture which he read, was this, "he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before his shearer, was dumb, so opened he not his mouth: ³³ in his humiliation he was judged, he was taken off: and who shall describe the men of his time? for the land has taken away his life." ³⁴ and the eunuch answered Philip, and said, pray, of whom does the prophet say this? of himself, or of some other? ³⁵ then Philip enter'd upon the subject, and show'd how the whole passage was applicable to Jesus. ³⁶ as they pursued their journey, they came to a place of water: and the eunuch said, see, here is water; what should hinder my being baptized? ³⁷ [and Philip said, if you believe with all your heart, you may. and he answered, I do believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God.] ³⁸ so he order'd the charioteer to stop: and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ when they were come out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he pursued his way with joy. ⁴⁰ but Philip was found at Azotus: and passing on, he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And at that time there was a great persecution and affliction upon the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles, who tarried at Jerusalem. ² And devout men carried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ And Saul made havock of the church, entring into every house, and haling men and women, committed [them] to prison. ⁴ Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip came to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. ⁶ But when all the multitudes with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing, and seeing the signs which he did. ⁷ Unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But there was a certain man whose name was Simon, before in that city, who used magick, and distracted the nation of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one. ¹⁰ To whom they all gave heed from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God, which is called The Great. ¹¹ And to him they gave heed, because that of long time he had distracted them with magical arts. ¹² But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself also believed: and when he was baptized, [he] also continued with Philip, and beholding the miracles and signs which were done he was distracted. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. ¹⁵ Who when they were come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost. ¹⁶ For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁷ Then laid they hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles hands, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money. ¹⁹ Beseeching him, and saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I also lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ But Peter said unto him, The money go to perdition with thee, because thou hast thought that the free gift of God may he purchased with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: thy heart is not right before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ Then answered Simon and said unto them, I beseech you. Pray ye to God for me, that none of these evil things which ye have spoken to me come upon me: who did not leave off to weep greatly. ²⁵ They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem: But they preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise and go toward the south, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace, a certain queen of the Ethiopians, who was her treasurer, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ Was returning and sitting in a chariot reading Esaias the prophet. ²⁹ Then the spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thy self to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, except some one should guide me? and he desired Philip that he would come up, and sit with him. ³² The place of the scripture which he read, was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: ³³ In [his] humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other. ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the Eunuch said, See water, what doth forbid me to be baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayst. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Cesarea.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And at that time there was a great persecution against the church, which was in Jerusalem. And they were all scattered abroad through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul made havock of the church, entring into every house, and haling men and women, committed them to prison. ⁴ Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went every where, preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip coming down to a city of Samaria, preached Christ to them. ⁶ And the people with one accord gave heed to the things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that had them, and many sick of the palsy and lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man, named Simon, had been before in the city, using magic, and astonishing the Samaritans, saying, that he was some great one. ¹⁰ To whom they all gave heed from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ They gave heed to him, because he had a long time astonished them with witchcraft. ¹² But when they believed Philip, preaching the things of the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he continued with Philip, and was astonished, beholding the signs and mighty miracles which were done. ¹⁴ And the apostles who were at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John: ¹⁵ Who being come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. ¹⁶ For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And Simon seeing that thro' laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Ghost was given, ¹⁹ offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought to purchase the gift of God with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I see, thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon answering said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things, which ye have spoken, may come upon me. ²⁵ They then, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned toward Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And an angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise and go toward the south by the way leading down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ And he arose and went. And lo an Ethiopian, an eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, ²⁸ and had come to Jerusalem to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot, read the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip running to him, heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, unless some one guide me? ³² And he desired Philip to come up, and sit with him. The portion of scripture which he was reading, was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answering Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. ³⁶ And as they went on the way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said, Behold water: what hindereth me to be baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayst. And he answering said, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Cesarea.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was well pleased with his execution. For at that time there was a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And some pious men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation for him. ³ But Saul made havock of the church, entring into the houses, and dragging out men and women, committed them to prison. ⁴ Now they that were dispersed went about preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip coming to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. ⁶ And the people unanimously attended to the things which were spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he wrought: ⁷ for impure spirits crying with a loud voice came out of many that were possessed by them; and many paralytic and lame persons were cured. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But there was before in the city a man named Simon practising magic and bewitching the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great person. ¹⁰ Whom they all greatly regarded, from the lest to the greatest, saying, This man is as the great power of God. ¹¹ And they were attentive to him, because he had for a considerable time astonished them by his magic arts. ¹² But as they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women; ¹³ and Simon himself also believed, and was baptized, and kept constantly with Philip: and beholding the signs and miracles that were wrought, he was amazed. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John: ¹⁵ who when they were come down prayed for them that they might receive the holy Spirit: (for He was not yet fallen upon any of them, ¹⁶ only they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus:) and then they laid their hands on them, ¹⁷ and they received the holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that the holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said unto him, Let thy money perish with thee, since thou thoughtest to purchase the gift of God with money. ²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if so be the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee: ²³ for I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon answered, and said, Do ye pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ And they having testified and declared the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And an angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise and go southward to the way that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ And he arose and went; and behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and her high-treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ was returning, and as he sat in his chariot, was reading the prophet Esaias: ²⁹ and the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip running up to him, ³⁰ heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou understand what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, unless some one guide me? and he desired Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² And the portion of scripture, which he was reading, was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before it's shearer is dumb, so He opened not his mouth: ³³ in his humiliation his judgement was taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth." ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? of himself, or of some other person? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See here is water, what hindereth me from being baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he ordered the chariot to stop: and they both went down to the water, Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: but went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus; and as he passed along, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ BUT Saul was delighted with his execution. Now on that very day commenced a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all, besides the apostles, were dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria. ² Then some pious men assembling, carried Stephen to his grave, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul ravaged the church, entering into the houses, and dragging men and women, cast them into prison. ⁴ Those therefore who were dispersed, travelled through the country, preaching the word. ⁵ But Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. ⁶ And the multitudes with united minds were very attentive to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard him, and saw the miracles which he did. ⁷ For the unclean spirits, roaring with great cries, came forth out of many who were possessed: and many who were paralytic and lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man, named Simon, lived previously in that city, who practised magic, and astonished the nation of Samaria, giving out himself as an extraordinary great personage: ¹⁰ to whom all gave heed from the small to the great, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And to him they attended, because he had of a considerable time astonished them by his magical tricks. ¹² But when they believed Philip, who preached the glad tidings of the things which related to the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon also himself believed: and being baptised, he attached himself to Philip, and beholding the signs and great miracles which were performed, he was astonished. ¹⁴ But when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: ¹⁵ who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: ¹⁶ for as yet he had not fallen on any one of them: only they had been baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the apostles' hands, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Confer on me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, they may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ But Peter said unto him, May thy silver with thyself go into perdition, because thou hast imagined that the gift of God can be purchased with money. ²¹ There is for thee neither part nor lot in this word: for thy heart is not right before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if haply this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ Then Simon answering said, Pray ye for me unto the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ Then they, after bearing their testimony, and speaking the word of the Lord, returned towards Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Now the angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, on the road which leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza: it is a wilderness. ²⁷ And he arose and went: and lo! an Ethiopian man, an eunuch, a person in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury; he had gone to worship unto Jerusalem, ²⁸ and was returning, and sitting in his chariot, was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Then said the Spirit to Philip, Go up, and approach close to that chariot. ³⁰ Then Philip running up to him, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said, Well! but dost thou understand what thou art reading? ³¹ He replied, How indeed can I, except some person guide me in the way? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The portion of scripture which he had been reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before him who sheareth it is dumb, so he opened not his mouth: ³³ in his humiliation his judgment was taken away: but his generation who can describe? for his life was taken away from the earth." ³⁴ Then the eunuch addressing himself to Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet thus speak? of himself, or of some other person? ³⁵ Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from that scripture, preached to him Jesus. ³⁶ But as they went on the road, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Here is water, what forbids my being baptised? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with the whole heart, it is allowable. Then he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he bid the carriage stop: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptised him. ³⁹ But when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: then he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip found himself at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Saul continued to express satisfaction at his death: and there was at that time a great persecution against the congregation which was at Jerusalem; and all, except the apostles, were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria. ² While devout men were carrying Stephen to the grave and making great lamentation for him, ³ Saul was making havock of the congregation. Entering into houses and dragging out men and women, he committed them to prison. ⁴ They, however, who were dispersed, went about proclaiming the glad tidings of the word; ⁵ and Philip having come to a city of Samaria, proclaimed to them the Christ. ⁶ And the crowds with one accord attended to what were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signal miracles which he performed. ⁷ For unclean spirits, with which many were possessed, went out of them with loud outcries: and many paralytic and lame persons were cured. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ Now there was a certain man, named Simon, who had heretofore practised magical arts in that city and astonished the nation of Samaria, pretending that he was an extraordinary person, ¹⁰ to whom all paid regard, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 11 To him indeed they paid regard because for a long time he had astonished them with his magical arts ¹² But when they believed Philip's proclamation of the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And even Simon himself believed, and being baptized, he continued steadily with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles done, he was astonished. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who having gone down, prayed for them that they might receive a holy spirit. ¹⁶ For it had not yet fallen on any of them, and they were only baptized to the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them and they received a holy spirit. ¹⁸ When Simon saw that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the holy spirit was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands he may receive a holy spirit. ²⁰ Whereupon Peter said to him, let thy money with thee be for destruction! Because thou hast thought that this free gift of God may be purchased with money, ²¹ thou hast no portion nor share in this matter, for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this wickedness of thine; and beseech God, if indeed this thought of thy heart can be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art for bitter gall and for a bond of iniquity. ²⁴ In reply to which Simon said, Pray ye to the Lord for me that none of these things which you have mentioned may come upon me. ²⁵ Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they set out on their return to Jerusalem, and communicated the glad tidings to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ In the mean while an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise and go southward on the road which leadeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, namely, the desert road. ²⁷ So he arose and went. And lo! a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, a grandee of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was her high treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and was on his return, was sitting in a chariot and reading the prophet Esaias. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and keep close to that chariot. ³⁰ So Philip ran close up and heard him reading the prophet Esaias. Whereupon he said, Dost thou understand what thou art reading? ³¹ To which he replied, How can I unless some one guide me? Then he invited Philip to come up and take a seat with him. ³² Now the passage of scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his legal trial is taken away. Who will declare his manner of life? Because his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch addressing Philip, said, Of whom, I pray thee, doth the prophet say this? Of himself or of some other person? ³⁵ Then Philip opened His mouth, and beginning with this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus. ³⁶ And as they continued the journey, they came to a certain water. Whereupon the eunuch said, Behold! here is water. What hindereth my being baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with thy whole heart, it may be done. To which he replied, I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. ³⁸ Then he ordered the chariot to stop. And they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, the spirit of the Lord conveyed Philip away. And the eunuch saw him no more. For he proceeded on in his journey rejoicing, ⁴⁰ and Philip was found at Azotus. And passing on he proclaimed the glad tidings in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. ³ As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hauling men and women committed them to prison. ⁴ Therefore they that were dispersed went every where preaching the word. ⁵ Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them. ⁶ And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he performed. ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But there was a certain man called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: ¹⁰ To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And to him they had regard, because that for a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John: ¹⁵ Who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit: ¹⁶ (For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. ²⁵ And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ And he arose, and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ Was returning; and sitting in his chariot, read Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up, and sit with him. ³² The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth: ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? ³⁷ 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 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 And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G1161 And G4569 Saul G2258 [G5713] was G4909 [G5723] consenting G846 to his G336 death G1161 . And G1722 at G1565 that G2250 time G1096 [G5633] there was G3173 a great G1375 persecution G1909 against G1577 the church G3588 which G1722 was at G2414 Jerusalem G5037 ; and G1289 0 they were G3956 all G1289 [G5681] scattered G2596 throughout G5561 the regions G2449 of Judaea G2532 and G4540 Samaria G4133 , except G652 the apostles.

2 G1161 And G2126 devout G435 men G4792 [G5656] carried G4736 Stephen G2532 to his burial, and G4160 [G5668] made G3173 great G2870 lamentation G1909 over G846 him.

3 G1161 As G4569 for Saul G3075 [G5711] , he made havoc G1577 of the church G1531 [G5740] , entering into G2596 every G3624 house G4951 G5037 [G5723] , and dragging off G435 men G2532 and G1135 women G3860 [G5707] committed G1519 them to G5438 prison.

4 G3767 G3303 Therefore G1289 [G5651] they that were scattered G1330 [G5627] went every where G2097 [G5734] preaching G3056 the word.

5 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G2718 [G5631] went down G1519 to G4172 the city G4540 of Samaria G2784 [G5707] , and preached G5547 Christ G846 to them.

6 G5037 And G3793 the people G3661 with one accord G4337 [G5707] gave heed G5376 to those things which Philip G3004 G5259 [G5746] spoke G1722 G191 G846 [G5721] , hearing G2532 and G991 [G5721] seeing G4592 the miracles G3739 which G4160 [G5707] he was performing.

7 G1063 For G169 unclean G4151 spirits G994 [G5723] , crying G3173 with loud G5456 voice G1831 [G5711] , came out G4183 of many G2192 [G5723] that were possessed G1161 and G4183 many G3886 [G5772] sick with palsies G2532 , and G5560 that were lame G2323 [G5681] , were healed.

8 G2532 And G1096 [G5633] there was G3173 great G5479 joy G1722 in G1565 that G4172 city.

9 G1161 But G5100 there was a certain G435 man G3686 , called G4613 Simon G4391 [G5707] , who before G1722 in G4172 the same city G3096 [G5723] used sorcery G2532 , and G1839 [G5723] bewitched G1484 the people G4540 of Samaria G3004 [G5723] , saying G1438 that he G1511 [G5750] was G5100 some G3173 great person:

10 G3739 To whom G3956 they all G4337 [G5707] gave heed G575 , from G3398 the least G2193 to G3173 the greatest G3004 [G5723] , saying G3778 , This man G2076 [G5748] is G3173 the great G1411 power G2316 of God.

11 G1161 And G846 to him G4337 [G5707] they had regard G1223 , because G2425 that for a long G5550 time G1839 [G5760] he had bewitched G846 them G3095 with sorceries.

12 G1161 But G3753 when G4100 [G5656] they believed G5376 Philip G2097 [G5734] preaching G4012 the things concerning G932 the kingdom G2316 of God G2532 , and G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G907 [G5712] , they were baptized G5037 , both G435 men G2532 and G1135 women.

13 G1161 Then G4613 Simon G846 himself G4100 [G5656] believed G2532 also G2532 : and G907 [G5685] when he was baptized G2258 G4342 [G5713] , he continued G5376 with Philip G5037 , and G1839 [G5710] was amazed G2334 [G5723] , beholding G1411 the miracles G2532 and G4592 G3173 signs G1096 G1096 [G5740] which were done.

14 G1161 Now G652 when the apostles G3588 who G1722 were at G2414 Jerusalem G191 [G5660] heard G3754 that G4540 Samaria G1209 [G5766] had received G3056 the word G2316 of God G649 [G5656] , they sent G4314 to G846 them G4074 Peter G2532 and G2491 John:

15 G3748 Who G2597 [G5631] , when they had come down G4336 [G5662] , prayed G4012 for G846 them G3704 , that G2983 [G5632] they might receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit:

16 G1063 (For G3768 as yet G2258 [G5713] he had G1968 [G5761] fallen G1909 upon G3762 none G846 of them G3440 G1161 : only G5225 [G5707] they were G907 [G5772] baptized G1519 in G3686 the name G2962 of the Lord G2424 Jesus.)

17 G5119 Then G2007 [G5707] they laid G5495 their hands G1909 on G846 them G2532 , and G2983 [G5707] they received G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

18 G1161 And G4613 when Simon G2300 [G5666] saw G3754 that G1223 through G1936 laying on G652 of the apostles G5495 ' hands G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit G1325 [G5743] was given G4374 [G5656] , he offered G846 them G5536 money,

19 G3004 [G5723] Saying G1325 [G5628] , Give G2504 me also G5026 this G1849 power G2443 , that G2007 0 on G3739 G1437 whomever G2007 [G5632] I lay G5495 hands G2983 [G5725] , he may receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

20 G1161 But G4074 Peter G2036 [G5627] said G4314 to G846 him G4675 , Thy G694 money G1498 G1519 G684 [G5751] perish G4862 with G4671 thee G3754 , because G3543 [G5656] thou hast thought G1431 that the gift G2316 of God G2932 [G5738] may be purchased G1223 with G5536 money.

21 G4671 Thou G2076 [G5748] hast G3756 neither G3310 part G3761 nor G2819 lot G1722 in G5129 this G3056 matter G1063 : for G4675 thy G2588 heart G2076 [G5748] is G3756 not G2117 right G1799 in the sight G2316 of God.

22 G3340 [G5657] Repent G3767 therefore G575 of G5026 this G4675 thy G2549 wickedness G2532 , and G1189 [G5676] pray G2316 God G1487 , if G686 perhaps G1963 the thought G4675 of thy G2588 heart G863 [G5701] may be forgiven G4671 thee.

23 G1063 For G3708 [G5719] I perceive G4571 that thou G5607 [G5752] art G1519 in G5521 the gall G4088 of bitterness G2532 , and G4886 in the bond G93 of iniquity.

24 G1161 Then G611 [G5679] answered G4613 Simon G2036 [G5627] , and said G1189 [G5676] , Pray G5210 ye G4314 to G2962 the Lord G5228 for G1700 me G3704 , that G3367 none of these things G3739 which G2046 [G5758] ye have spoken G1904 [G5632] come G1909 upon G1691 me.

25 G3303 G3767 And they, when G1263 [G5666] they had testified G2532 and G2980 [G5660] preached G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord G5290 [G5656] , returned G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G5037 , and G2097 [G5668] preached the gospel G4183 in many G2968 villages G4541 of the Samaritans.

26 G1161 And G32 the angel G2962 of the Lord G2980 [G5656] spoke G4314 to G5376 Philip G3004 [G5723] , saying G450 [G5628] , Arise G2532 , and G4198 [G5737] go G2596 toward G3314 the south G1909 to G3598 the way G2597 [G5723] that goeth down G575 from G2419 Jerusalem G1519 to G1048 Gaza G3778 , which G2076 [G5748] is G2048 desert.

27 G2532 And G450 [G5631] he arose G4198 [G5675] and went G2532 : and G2400 [G5628] , behold G435 , a man G128 of Ethiopia G2135 , an eunuch G1413 of great authority G2582 under Candace G938 queen G128 of the Ethiopians G3739 , who G2258 [G5713] had G1909 the charge of G3956 all G846 her G1047 treasure G3739 , and G2064 [G5715] had come G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G4352 [G5694] to worship,

28 G5037 G2258 [G5713] Was G5290 [G5723] returning G2532 , and G2521 [G5740] sitting G1909 in G846 his G716 G2532 chariot G314 [G5707] read G2268 Isaiah G4396 the prophet.

29 G1161 Then G4151 the Spirit G2036 [G5627] said G5376 to Philip G4334 [G5628] , Go near G2532 , and G2853 [G5682] join thyself to G5129 this G716 chariot.

30 G1161 And G5376 Philip G4370 [G5631] ran G191 [G5656] to him, and heard G846 him G314 [G5723] reading G4396 the prophet G2268 Isaiah G2532 , and G2036 [G5627] said G687 G1065 G1097 [G5719] , Understandest thou G3739 what G314 [G5719] thou readest?

31 G1161 And G2036 [G5627] he said G1063 G4459 , How G302 G1410 [G5739] can I G3362 , except G5100 some man G3594 [G5661] should guide G3165 me G5037 ? And G3870 [G5656] he besought G5376 Philip G305 [G5631] that he would come up G2523 [G5658] and sit G4862 with G846 him.

32 G1161 G4042 The place G1124 of the scripture G3739 which G314 [G5707] he read G2258 [G5713] was G3778 this G71 [G5681] , He was led G5613 as G4263 a sheep G1909 to G4967 the slaughter G2532 ; and G5613 like G286 a lamb G880 dumb G1726 before G846 his G2751 [G5723] shearer G3779 , so G455 [G5719] he opened G3756 not G846 his G4750 mouth:

33 G1722 In G846 his G5014 humiliation G846 his G2920 judgment G142 [G5681] was taken away G1161 : and G5101 who G1334 [G5695] shall declare G846 his G1074 generation G3754 ? for G846 his G2222 life G142 [G5743] is taken G575 from G1093 the earth.

34 G1161 And G2135 the eunuch G611 [G5679] answered G5376 Philip G2036 [G5627] , and said G1189 [G5736] , I pray G4675 thee G4012 , of G5101 whom G3004 [G5719] speaketh G4396 the prophet G5124 this G4012 ? of G1438 himself G2228 , or G4012 of G5100 some G2087 other man?

35 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G455 [G5660] opened G846 his G4750 mouth G2532 , and G756 [G5671] began G575 at G5026 the same G1124 scripture G2097 [G5668] , and preached G846 to him G2424 Jesus.

36 G1161 And G5613 as G4198 [G5711] they went G2596 on G3598 their way G2064 [G5627] , they came G1909 to G5100 a certain G5204 water G2532 : and G2135 the eunuch G5346 [G5748] said G2400 [G5628] , See G5204 , here is water G5101 ; what G2967 [G5719] doth hinder G3165 me G907 [G5683] to be baptized?

37 G1161 And G5376 Philip G2036 [G5627] said G1487 , If G4100 [G5719] thou believest G1537 with G3650 all thy G2588 heart G1832 [G5748] , thou mayest G1161 . And G611 [G5679] he answered G2036 [G5627] and said G4100 [G5719] , I believe G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G1511 [G5750] is G5207 the Son G2316 of God.

38 G2532 And G2753 [G5656] he commanded G716 the chariot G2476 [G5629] to stand still G2532 : and G297 they both G2597 [G5627] went down G1519 into G5204 the water G5037 , both G5376 Philip G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G2532 ; and G907 [G5656] he baptized G846 him.

39 G1161 And G3753 when G305 [G5627] they had come up G1537 out of G5204 the water G4151 , the Spirit G2962 of the Lord G726 [G5656] caught away G5376 Philip G2532 , G2135 that the eunuch G1492 G3756 [G5627] saw G846 him G3765 no more G1063 : and G4198 [G5711] he went G846 on his G3598 way G5463 [G5723] rejoicing.

40 G1161 But G5376 Philip G2147 [G5681] was found G1519 at G108 Azotus G2532 : and G1330 [G5740] passing G2097 [G5710] through he preached G3956 in all G4172 the cities G2193 , till G846 he G2064 [G5629] came G1519 to G2542 Caesarea.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was well pleased with his slaughter. And at that time there was a great persecution against the congregation in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the regions of Judea, and Samaria, except the Apostles. ² And devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation for him. ³ But Saul made havoc of the congregation, entering into houses, and dragging men and whom, whom he committed to prison. ⁴ Nevertheless, they who were dispersed, went about declaring the glad tidings of the word. 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. ¹⁴ Now when the Apostles, who were at Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John; ¹⁵ who, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (For he was not yet fallen on any of them; only, they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the Apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Let your money go with you to destruction, since you have thought that the free gift of God might be purchased with money. ²¹ You have no part nor lot in this matter; for your heart is not upright in the sight of God. ²² Reform, therefore, from this your wickedness; and beg of God, if, indeed, the thought of your heart may be forgiven you; ²³ for I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon answered, and said, Make your supplications to the Lord on my behalf; that none of these things which you have spoken, may come upon me. ²⁵ Now when they had borne their testimony, and had spoke the word of the Lord, they turned back for Jerusalem; and declared the glad tidings in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And a messenger of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south, by the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ And he arose, and took his journey; and, behold, a certain Ethiopian officer, a grandee of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, that was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem, ²⁸ was returning, and sat in his chariot, reading the Prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach, and join yourself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip, running up, heard him read in the Prophet Isaiah, and said, Do you understand what you are reading? ³¹ And he said, How can I, unless some one should guide me? And he requested Philip that he would come up and sit with him. ³² Now the passage of scripture which he was reading, was this, "He was brought to the slaughter, as a sheep; and as a lamb before its shearer, is dumb; so he opened not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his condemnation was extorted; and who shall describe his generation? for his life is cut off from the earth." ³⁴ The officer answering Philip, said, I beseech you, of whom does the prophet say this? -of himself, or of some other person? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from the scripture, told him the glad tidings concerning Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went along the way, they came to a certain water, and the officer said, Behold, water; what hinders my being immersed? ³⁷ OMITTED TEXT ³⁸ And he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the officer; and he immersed him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly conveyed away Philip, and the officer saw him no more: so he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus; and going on thence, he proclaimed the glad tidings in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But Shaol willed to take part in his killing. And there was made in those days a great persecution against the church that was in Urishlem; and they were all dispersed in the country of Jihud and also among the Shomroyee, excepting only the apostles. ² And faithful men laid Estephanos in his tomb, and mourned over him greatly. ³ BUT Shaol persecuted the church of Aloha, going to the houses, and drawing men and women delivered them to the house of the bound. ⁴ And they who were dispersed went about and preached the word of Aloha. ⁵ But Philipos descended to a city of the Shomroyee, and preached concerning the Meshiha. ⁶ And when they heard his word, the men who were there attended to him, and were persuaded of all that he said: for they saw the signs that he wrought. ⁷ For many whom unclean spirits possessed cried with a high voice, and they came out from them; and others, palsied and lame, were healed: ⁸ and great joy was in that city. ⁹ But a certain man was there whose name was Simon, who had dwelt in that city much time, and with his sorceries had deceived the people of the Shomroyee, magnifying himself, and saying, I am the Great.[Ano 'no Rabo.] ¹⁰ And all inclined to him, great and small, and said, This is the great Power of Aloha. ¹¹ And they were persuaded by him, because that much time by his sorceries he had astonished them. ¹² But when they believed Philipos, who evangelized the kingdom of Aloha in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, they were baptized, men and women. ¹³ And Simon also himself believed, and was baptized, and adhered to Philipos. And when he saw the signs and great works which were done by his hands, he wondered and was astonished. ¹⁴ AND when the apostles who were at Urishlem heard that the people of the Shomroyee had received the word of Aloha, they sent to them Kipha and Juhanon. ¹⁵ And they went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Spirit of Holiness: ¹⁶ for he was not upon one of them yet; but they were only baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu. ¹⁷ Then they laid upon them the hand, and they received the Spirit of Holiness. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that by the hand-laying of the apostles the Spirit of Holiness was given, he offered to them silver, ¹⁹ saying, Give also to me this power, that he on whom I shall lay the hand may receive the Spirit of Holiness. ²⁰ Shemun Kipha said to him, Thy silver go with thee into perdition, because thou thoughtest that the gift of Aloha with the possessions of the world might he obtained. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this faith, because thine heart hath not been right before Aloha. ²² Nevertheless, repent of this thy wickedness, and pray of Aloha, that the guile of thy heart may haply be forgiven thee; ²³ for in bitter gall and in the bonds of iniquity I see that thou art. ²⁴ Simon answered and said, Pray you on my behalf, of Aloha, that not any of these things which you have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ But Shemun and Juhanon, when they had testified and taught the word of Aloha, returned to Urishlem, and evangelized in many villages of the Shomroyee. ²⁶ AND the angel of the Lord spake with Philipos, and said to him, Arise, go to the south, in the desert way which goeth down from Urishlem to Gaza. ²⁷ And arising he went. And there met him a certain eunuch* who had come from Cush, an officer of Kandak, queen of the Cushoyee; and he was officer over all her treasure. And he had been to worship at Urishlem; [* Mahaimna, "a faithful or confidential one."] ²⁸ and while returning that he might go, he sat in the chariot and read in Eshaia the prophet. ²⁹ And the Spirit of Holiness said to Philipos, Approach, and join the chariot. ³⁰ And being near, he heard that he read in Eshaia the prophet; and he said to him, Understandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I understand, unless one teach me? And he prayed of him, of Philipos, to ascend and sit with him. ³² But the section (phosuka) of the scripture in which he was reading is this: As a lamb to the slaughter was he led; and as a sheep before the shearer is silent, so opened not he his mouth in his humiliation. ³³ From oppression and from judgment was he led; and his age who shall recount? For his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ That eunuch said Unto Philipos, I pray thee, of whom speaketh this the prophet? of himself, or of another man? ³⁵ Then Philipos opened his mouth and began, from that very scripture, preaching to him concerning our Lord Jeshu. ³⁶ And as they went in the way they came to a certain place which had water in it, and that eunuch said, Behold the water; what is the hinderance that I should be baptized? ³⁷ [Verse 37 is wanting in the Peschito.] ³⁸ And he commanded that the chariot should stand; and they descended both of them to the water, and Philipos baptized that eunuch. ³⁹ And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord rapt away Philipos, and the eunuch again saw him not; but he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philipos was found at Azotos, and from thence he itinerated and evangelized in all the cities until he came to Cesarea.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting and participating in his death. And there was, in that day, a great persecution against the church that was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed, except the legates, among the villages of Judaea and likewise among the Samaritans. ² And believing men gathered up and buried Stephen. And they lamented over him greatly. ³ And Saul persecuted the church of God, entering houses, and dragging forth men and women and committing them to prison. ⁴ And they who were dispersed, travelled about and preached the word of God. ⁵ And Philip went down to a city of the Samaritans, and preached concerning the Messiah. ⁶ And when the people who were there heard his discourse, they gave ear to him, and acquiesced in all that he said; because they saw the signs which he wrought. ⁷ For many who were possessed by unclean spirits, cried with a loud voice, and came out of them: and others, who were paralytic and lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ And there was a certain man there, whose name was Simon, who had resided in that city a long time, and who seduced the people of the Samaritans by his sorceries, magnifying himself, and saying, I am a great personage. ¹⁰ And they all inclined towards him, great and small; and they said, This is the mighty power of God. ¹¹ And they acquiesced in him, because for a long time he had astonished them by his sorceries. ¹² But when they gave credence to Philip, as he preached the kingdom of God, in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah; they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and was baptized, and adhered to Philip. And when he saw the signs and mighty deeds which were wrought by his hand, he was surprised and astonished. ¹⁴ And when the legates at Jerusalem, heard that the people of the Samaritans had received the word of God, they sent out to them Simon Cephas and John. ¹⁵ And they went down, and prayed over them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For he was not yet on any one of them; and they had only been baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid the hand on them; and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that, by the imposition of a hand of the legates, the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying: Give me also this prerogative, that he on whom I impose a hand, may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ Simon Cephas said to him: Thy money go with thee to perdition! because thou hast supposed, that the gift of God may be purchased by a worldly substance. ²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this faith; because thy heart is not right before God. ²² Nevertheless, repent of this thy wickedness, and entreat of God, if perhaps the guile of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the bitter gall and in the bonds of iniquity. ²⁴ Simon answered and said: Intercede ye with God for me, that nothing of which ye have mentioned may come upon me. ²⁵ And Simon and John, when they had testified, and had taught them the word of God, returned to Jerusalem. And they had preached in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And the angel of the Lord spake with Philip, and said to him: Arise, go to the south, along the desert way that leadeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza. ²⁷ And he arose and went. And there met him a eunuch, who had come from Cush, an officer of Candace, queen of the Cushites, who had charge of all her treasure; and he had come to worship at Jerusalem. ²⁸ And as he turned to go, he was sitting in his chariot, and was reading in Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ And the Holy Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to the chariot. ³⁰ And when he came near, he heard him reading in Isaiah the prophet; and he said to him: Understandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said: How can I understand, unless some one instruct me? And he requested of Philip, that he would come up and sit with him. ³² And the section of scripture in which he was reading, was this: As a lamb to the slaughter he was led away, and as a sheep before the shearer is silent, so also he in his humility opened not his mouth. ³³ From prison and from judgment he was carried: and his generation, who will declare? for his life is taken away from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch said to Philip: I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other person? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth and, from that scripture, began to preach to him concerning our Lord Jesus. ³⁶ And as they proceeded on the way, they came to a certain place in which there was water. And the eunuch said: Lo, here is water; what doth forbid, that I should be baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, it is allowable. And he answered, and said: I believe that Jesus Messiah is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop; and they both went down to the water, and Philip baptized the eunuch. ³⁹ And when they came up from the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more; but he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ And Philip was found at Azotus; and from there he travelled about, and preached in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul consented to his death. ^(5:15) And at that time there was a great persecution of the church at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And pious men buried Stephen and made a great lamentation for him. ³ But Saul persecuted the church, and going from house to house, seizing men and women, committed them to prison. ⁴ ^(6:1) Being scattered abroad, therefore, they went everywhere preaching the good news of the word; ⁵ and Philip going down to a city of Samaria preached Christ to them. ⁶ And the multitudes attended with one accord to the things said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the miracles which he performed. ⁷ For impure spirits came out of many who had them, crying with a loud voice; and many paralytics and lame persons were cured; ⁸ and there was great joy in that city. ⁹ ^(6:2) And there was a man by the name of Simon who formerly practised magic in that city, and astonished the nation of Samaria, saying that he was some great person, ¹⁰ to whom all from the least to the greatest attended, saying, This is the power of God which is called great. ¹¹ And they attended to him because for a long time he had astonished them with his magic arts. ¹² But because they believed Philip preaching the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women. ¹³ And Simon also himself believed, and being baptized attended constantly on Philip; and beholding the mighty works and miracles that were performed, he was astonished. ¹⁴ ^(6:3) And the apostles at Jerusalem hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; ¹⁶ for it had not yet fallen on any of them, only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And Simon seeing that the Holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hand he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Your money go to perdition with you; because you have thought to purchase the gift of God with money. ²¹ You have no part nor inheritance in this work; for your heart is not right before God. ²² Turn your mind therefore from this your wickedness, and pray the Lord if perhaps the thought of your mind may be forgiven you; ²³ for I see you are in the gall of bitterness and bond of wickedness. ²⁴ And Simon answered and said, Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have said may come upon me. ²⁵ ^(6:4) They then having fully testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise and go to the south, by the way that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is a wilderness. ²⁷ And he arose and went. And behold a man, an Ethiopian eunuch, an officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and he was returning and sitting in his chariot reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ ^(6:5) And the Spirit said to Philip, Go forward and join yourself to his chariot. ³⁰ And Philip running forward heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and he said, Do you really understand what you read? ³¹ And he said [No]; for how can I unless some one teaches me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² And the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was this; As a sheep is led to slaughter, and as a lamb before one that shears him is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away; and who will tell of his generation? for his life was taken from the earth. ³⁴ ^(6:6) And the eunuch answered and said to Philip, Of whom I pray you does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other one? ³⁵ And Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him the good news of Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on the way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said, Behold water; what hinders me from being baptized? ³⁷ (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they went up from the water the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he went his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he preached the good news to all the cities till he came to Caesarea.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ AND Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul laid waste the church, entering house after house, and dragging both men and women, committed them to prison. ⁴ They, therefore, that were scattered, went abroad, preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached to them the Christ. ⁶ And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to the things said by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he wrought. ⁷ For out of many who had unclean spirits they went forth, crying with loud voice; and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man, named Simon, was in the city before, using sorcery, and bewitching the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great one; ¹⁰ to whom all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And to him they gave heed, because for a long time they were bewitched by his sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip publishing the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon also himself believed; and having been immersed, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were wrought. ¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria has received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John; ¹⁵ who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; ¹⁶ for he had not yet fallen upon any of them; but they had only been immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And Simon, seeing that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, offered them money, ¹⁹ saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him: Thy money perish with thee; because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with money: ²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon answering, said: Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me. ²⁵ They, therefore, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and publishing the good news to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, and go down to the south, to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is desert. ²⁷ And he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, an officer of state of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ was returning, and sitting in his chariot; and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran thither, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet. And he said: Understandest thou then what thou art reading? ³¹ And he said: How could I, except some one should guide me? And he entreated Philip to come up, and sit with him. ³² And the contents of the Scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb dumb before his shearer, So he opens not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away; And his generation who shall fully declare? For his life is taken away from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answering said to Philip: I pray thee, of whom does the prophet speak this? Of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, made known to him the good news of Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went along the way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders that I should be immersed? ³⁷ And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And answering he said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded that the chariot should stop. And they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he immersed him. ³⁹ 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 But Philip was found at Azotus; and passing through, he published the good news to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And at that time there was a great persecution against the church that was in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² But devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul attempted to destroy the church; entering every house, and dragging men and women, he delivered them up to prison. ⁴ Then they that were dispersed went everywhere preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached the Christ to them. ⁶ And the multitudes with one mind gave heed to the things which were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them, and many paralytics and lame per sons were cured. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But there was a certain man, named Simon, who had, be fore this time, been practicing magic in the city, and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great one; ¹⁰ to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And they gave heed to him because he had, for a long time, astonished them with his magic arts. ¹² But when they believed Philip, who preached the good news 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 after he was immersed, he continued with Philip; and, seeing the mighty deeds and the signs which were done, he was astonished. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John; ¹⁵ who, when they had gone down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For he had not yet fallen on any of them; only they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying: Give me, also, this authority, that who ever I shall lay my hands on, may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him: Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money. ²¹ You have neither part nor share in this matter; for your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent, there fore, of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ But Simon answered and said: Pray you both to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken come upon me. ²⁵ Then, when they had given their testimony, and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, and go toward the south, to the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is desert. ²⁷ And he arose and went. And be hold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, read the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip: Go forward and join your self to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran forward, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said: Do you understand what you are reading? ³¹ He answered: How can I, unless some one instruct me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The passage of the scripture which he was reading, was this: As a sheep for the slaughter was he led; and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so opened he not his mouth ³³ in his humiliation. The sentence against him was taken away; but who shall describe the men of his generation? For his life was taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said: I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed? ³⁷ : ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him. ³⁹ 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 But Philip was found at Azotus, and, passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting to his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul ravaged the church, entering house after house, and dragging both men and women, committed them to prison. ⁴ Now those that had been scattered abroad went through the country preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip went down to a city of Samaria, and preached to them the Christ. ⁶ And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he wrought. ⁷ For from many that had unclean spirits came they out crying with a loud voice; and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were cured. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But before their arrival a certain man, named Simon, was in the city, a man practising sorcery, and amazing the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was some great person; ¹⁰ to whom they gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the Power of God, which is called Great. ¹¹ And to him they gave heed, because they had for a long time been amazed by his sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip, publishing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and having been baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed when he beheld the miracles and signs which were wrought. ¹⁴ And the apostles at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John; ¹⁵ who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For it had not yet fallen upon any of them; but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But Simon, seeing that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles hands, offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee! because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if haply the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon answering said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ They then, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and publishing the glad tidings in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert way. ²⁷ And he arose and went; and lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a high officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ was returning and sitting in his chariot; and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Well, but dost thou understand what thou art reading? ³¹ And he said, How can I, unless some one shall guide me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² And the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he openeth not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation judgment was refused him; and who shall describe his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth." ³⁴ And the eunuch answering said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? Of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture declared to him the glad tidings concerning Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went along the road, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch saith, See, here is water; what is there to hinder my being baptized? ³⁷ (...) ³⁸ And he commanded that the chariot should stop; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ But when they had come 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 But Philip was found at Azotus; and passing through, he published the glad tidings in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles; ² and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him; ³ and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
⁴ they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word. ⁵ And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ, ⁶ the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing, ⁷ for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed, ⁸ and there was great joy in that city. ⁹ And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one, ¹⁰ to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, `This one is the great power of God;' ¹¹ and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic. ¹² And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women; ¹³ and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, — ¹⁶ for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized—to the name of the Lord Jesus; ¹⁷ then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money, ¹⁹ saying, `Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.' ²⁰ And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee—may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money; ²¹ thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God; ²² reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee, ²³ for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.' ²⁴ And Simon answering, said, `Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.' ²⁵ They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.
²⁶ And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, `Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' —this is desert. ²⁷ And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem; ²⁸ he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, `Go near, and be joined to this chariot;' ³⁰ and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, `Dost thou then know what thou dost read?' ³¹ and he said, `Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him. ³² And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: `As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth; ³³ in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation—who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.' ³⁴ And the eunuch answering Philip said, `I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?' ³⁵ and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus. ³⁶ And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?' ³⁷ And Philip said, `If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, `I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;' ³⁸ and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him; ³⁹ 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 was going on his way rejoicing; ⁴⁰ and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was assenting to his murder. And in that day was a great expulsion upon the church in Jerusalem; and all were scattered up and down in the countries of Judea and Samaria, except the sent. ² And circumspect men interred Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ And Saul abused the church, going into houses, and drawing out men and women, delivered to prison. ⁴ Truly therefore the dispersed passed through announcing good news the word. ⁵ And Philip having come down to the city of Samaria, proclaimed Christ to them. ⁶ And the crowds unanimously attended to things spoken by Philip, in their hearing and seeing the signs which he did. ⁷ For of many having unclean spirits, crying with a great voice, they came out: and many affected with palsy, and the lame, were healed. ⁸ And great joy was in that city. ⁹ And a certain man, Simon by name, was before in the city using magic, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be somebody great: ¹⁰ To whom attended from little to great, saying, This is the great power of God. ¹¹ And they attended to him, because for a sufficient time they were astonished by magics. ¹² And when they believed Philip announcing the good news of the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon also himself believed: and having been immersed, he was persovering with Philip, beholding the signs and great powers having been, they were astonished. ¹⁴ And the sent in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John: ¹⁵ Who, having gone down, prayed for them, that they receive the Holy Spirit ¹⁶ (For not yet was it fallen upon any of them: only they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then put they hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And Simon having seen that by putting on of hands of the sent the Holy Spirit is given, he brought money to them, ¹⁹ Saying, Give me also this power, that upon whomsoever I put hands, he might receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ And Peter said to him, May thy silver be for ruin with thee, for thou thoughtest the gift of God to be purchased for money. ²¹ No portion is to thee, nor lot, in this word: for thy heart is not upright before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart be remitted to thee. ²³ For I see thee being in the bile of bitterness, and bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon having answered, said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that nothing which ye have spoken come upon me. ²⁵ Truly therefore, they having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and announced good news to many towns of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And a messenger of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise, and go at noon in the way going down from Jerusalem to Gaza, (this is desert.) ²⁷ And having risen, he went: and, behold, an Ethiopian man, an eunuch of great power of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come going to worship in Jerusalem, ²⁸ And he was returning, and sitting in his chariot he read the prophet Esaias. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Come near, and be joined to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip running near, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and he said, Truly knowest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, except somebody guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up to sit with him. ³² And the passage of the writing which he read was this, As a sheep for slaughter was he brought; and as a lamb before him shearing it dumb, so he opened not his mouth: ³³ In his humiliation was his judgment taken away: and his generation who shall recount? for his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch having answered Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom speaks the prophet this of himself or of some other? ³⁵ And Philip having opened his mouth, and begun from this writing, announced to him the good news, Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went in the way, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Behold water; what hinders me to be immersed? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest from the whole heart, it is lawful. And having answered, he said, I believe the Son of God to be Jesus Christ. ³⁸ And he ordered the chariot to stand: and both went down into the Water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he immersed him. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ And Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he announced the good news to all of the cities, even till he came to Cesarea.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries of Judaea and Samaria except the apostles. ² And pious men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into the houses one after another, and dragging off both men and women delivered them up to prison. ⁴ Those then that had been scattered went through [the countries] announcing the glad tidings of the word. ⁵ And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached the Christ to them; ⁶ and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard [him] and saw the signs which he wrought. ⁷ For from many who had unclean spirits they went out, crying with a loud voice; and many that were paralysed and lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man, by name Simon, had been before in the city, using magic arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great one. ¹⁰ To whom they had all given heed, from small to great, saying, This is the power of God which is called great. ¹¹ And they gave heed to him, because that for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts. ¹² But when they believed Philip announcing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon also himself believed; and, having been baptised, continued constantly with Philip; and, beholding the signs and great works of power which took place, was astonished. ¹⁴ And the apostles who were in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John; ¹⁵ who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive [the] Holy Spirit; ¹⁶ for he was not yet fallen upon any of them, only they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received [the] Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But Simon, having seen that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the [Holy] Spirit was given, offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give to me also this power, in order that on whomsoever I may lay hands he may receive [the] Holy Spirit. ²⁰ And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, for thy heart is not upright before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee; ²³ for I see thee to be in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness. ²⁴ And Simon answering said, Supplicate *ye* for me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me of the things of which ye have spoken. ²⁵ They therefore, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and announced the glad tidings to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ But [the] angel of [the] Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go southward on the way which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza: the same is desert. ²⁷ And he rose up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem, ²⁸ was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of? ³¹ And he said, How should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other? ³⁵ And Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him. ³⁶ And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised? ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him. ³⁹ But when they came up out of the water [the] Spirit of [the] Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer, for he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ And Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he announced the glad tidings to all the cities till he came to Caesarea.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting unto his death.

And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² Now the place 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 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other? ³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. ³⁶ 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 ³⁸ 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 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 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judζa and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.
⁴ They therefore that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ. ⁶ 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 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 And there was much joy in that city.
⁹ 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 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 And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. ¹² 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 And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed.
¹⁴ 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 who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: ¹⁶ for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. ²³ For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ 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 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 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 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 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me?

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 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away:
His generation who shall declare?
For his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other? ³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus. ³⁶ 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? ³⁸ 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 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 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Cζsarea.

1 G1161 And G4569 Saul G2258 was G4909 consenting unto G846 his G336 death. G1161 And G1722 there arose on G1565 that G2250 day G1096 a G3173 great G1375 persecution G1909 against G1577 the church G3588 which was G1722 in G2414 Jerusalem; G5037 and G1289 they were G3956 all G1289 scattered abroad G2596 throughout G5561 the regions G2449 of Judaea G2532 and G4540 Samaria, G4133 except G652 the apostles.

2 G1161 And G2126 devout G435 men G4792 buried G4736 Stephen, G2532 and G4160 made G3173 great G2870 lamentation G1909 over G846 him.

3 G1161 But G4569 Saul G3075 laid waste G1577 the church, G1531 entering into G2596 every G3624 house, G2532 and G4951 dragging G435 men G5037 and G1135 women G3860 committed G1519 them to G5438 prison.

4 G3588 They G3303 G3767 therefore G1289 that were scattered abroad, G1330 went about G2097 preaching G3056 the word.

5 G1161 And G5376 Philip G2718 went down G1519 to G4172 the city G4540 of Samaria, G2784 and proclaimed G846 unto them G5547 the Christ.

6 G5037 And G3793 the multitudes G4337 gave heed G3661 with one accord G5259 unto G3588 the things G3004 that G3004 were spoken G5376 by Philip, G846 when they G191 heard, G2532 and G991 saw G4592 the signs G3739 which G4160 he did.

7 G1063 For G4183 from many G2192 of those that had G169 unclean G4151 spirits, G1831 they came out, G994 crying G3173 with a loud G5456 voice: G1161 and G4183 many G3886 that were palsied, G2532 and G2323 that were G5560 lame, G2323 were healed.

8 G2532 And G1096 there was G3173 much G5479 joy G1722 in G1565 that G4172 city.

9 G1161 But there was G5100 a certain G435 man, G4613 Simon G3686 by name, G4391 who beforetime G1722 in G4172 the city G3096 used sorcery, G2532 and G1839 amazed G1484 the people G4540 of Samaria, G3004 giving out that G1438 himself G1511 was G5100 some G3173 great one:

10 G3739 to whom G3956 they all G4337 gave heed, G575 from G3398 the least G2193 to G3173 the greatest, G3004 saying, G3778 This man G2076 is G1411 that power G2316 of God G3173 which is called Great.

11 G1161 And G4337 they gave heed G846 to him, G1223 because that G2425 of long G5550 time G1839 he had amazed G846 them G3095 with his sorceries.

12 G1161 But G3753 when G4100 they believed G5376 Philip G2097 preaching G3588 good tidings G4012 concerning G932 the kingdom G2316 of God G2532 and G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ, G907 they were baptized, G5037 both G435 men G2532 and G1135 women.

13 G2532 And G4613 Simon G2532 also G846 himself G4100 believed: G2532 and G2258 being G907 baptized, G4342 he continued G5376 with Philip; G5037 and G2334 beholding G3173 G4592 signs G2532 and G1411 great miracles G1096 wrought, G1839 he was amazed.

14 G1161 Now when G652 the apostles G3588 that were G1722 at G2414 Jerusalem G191 heard G3754 that G4540 Samaria G1209 had received G3056 the word G2316 of God, G649 they sent G4314 unto G846 them G4074 Peter G2532 and G2491 John:

15 G3748 who, G2597 when they were come down, G4336 prayed G4012 for G846 them, G3704 that G2983 they might receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit:

16 G1063 for G3768 as yet G2258 it was G1968 fallen G1909 upon G3762 none G1161 of them: G3440 only G5225 they had been G907 baptized G1519 into G3686 the name G2962 of the Lord G2424 Jesus.

17 G5119 Then G2007 laid they G5495 their hands G1909 on G846 them, G2532 and G2983 they received G4151 the Holy G40 Spirit.

18 G1161 Now G4613 when Simon G2300 saw G3754 that G1223 through G1936 the laying on G652 of the apostles' G5495 hands G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit G1325 was given, G4374 he offered G846 them G5536 money,

19 G3004 saying, G1325 Give me G2504 also G3778 this G1849 power, G2443 that G302 G3739 on whomsoever G2007 I lay G5495 my hands, G2983 he may receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

20 G1161 But G4074 Peter G2036 said G4314 unto G846 him, G4675 Thy G694 silver G1519 G684 perish G4862 with G4671 thee, G3754 because G3543 thou hast thought G1223 to G2932 obtain G1431 the gift G2316 of God G5536 with money.

21 G4671 Thou G2076 hast G3756 neither G3310 part G3761 nor G2819 lot G1722 in G5129 this G3056 matter: G1063 for G4675 thy G2588 heart G2076 is G3756 not G2117 right G1799 before G2316 God.

22 G3340 Repent G3767 therefore G575 of G3778 this G4675 thy G2549 wickedness, G2532 and G1189 pray G2316 the Lord, G1487 if G686 perhaps G1963 the thought G4675 of thy G2588 heart G863 shall be forgiven G4671 thee.

23 G1063 For G3708 I see G4571 that thou G5607 art G1519 in G5521 the gall G4088 of bitterness G2532 and G4886 in the bond G93 of iniquity.

24 G1161 And G4613 Simon G611 answered G2036 and said, G1189 Pray G5210 ye G5228 for G1700 me G4314 to G2962 the Lord, G3704 that G3367 none of the things G3739 which G2046 ye have spoken G1904 come G1909 upon G1691 me.

25 G3767 G3588 They G3303 therefore, G1263 when they had testified G3767 and G2980 spoken G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord, G5290 returned G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem, G5037 and G2097 preached the gospel G4183 to many G2968 villages G4541 of the Samaritans.

26 G1161 But G32 an angel G2962 of the Lord G2980 spake G4314 unto G5376 Philip, G3004 saying, G450 Arise, G2532 and G4198 go G2596 toward G3314 the south G1909 unto G3598 the way G3588 that G2597 goeth down G575 from G2419 Jerusalem G1519 unto G1048 Gaza: G3778 the same G2076 is G2048 desert.

27 G2532 And G450 he arose G4198 and went: G2532 and G2400 behold, G435 a man G128 of Ethiopia, G2135 a eunuch G1413 of great authority G2582 under Candace, G938 queen G128 of the Ethiopians, G3739 who G2258 was G1909 over G3956 all G846 her G1047 treasure, G3739 who G2064 had come G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G4352 to worship;

28 G5037 and G2258 he was G5290 returning G2532 and G2521 sitting G1909 in G846 his G716 chariot, G2532 and G314 was reading G4396 the prophet G2268 Isaiah.

29 G1161 And G4151 the Spirit G2036 said G5376 unto Philip, G4334 Go near, G2532 and G2853 join thyself G5129 to this G716 chariot.

30 G1161 And G5376 Philip G4370 ran to G191 him, and heard G846 him G314 reading G2268 Isaiah G4396 the prophet, G2532 and G1065 said, G1097 Understandest thou G3739 what G314 thou readest?

31 G1161 And G1063 he said, G4459 How G302 G302 can I, G1437 except G3361 G5100 some one G3594 shall guide G3165 me? G5037 And G3870 he besought G5376 Philip G305 to come up G2523 and sit G4862 with G846 him.

32 G4042 Now the passage G1124 of the Scripture G3739 which G314 he was reading G2258 was G3778 this, G71 He was led G5613 as G4263 a sheep G1909 to G4967 the slaughter; G2532 And G5613 as G286 a lamb G1726 before G846 his G2751 shearer G880 is dumb, G3779 So G455 he G3756 openeth not G846 his G4750 mouth:

33 G1722 In G846 his G5014 humiliation G846 his G2920 judgment G142 was taken away: G1161 G846 His G1074 generation G5101 who G1334 shall declare? G3754 For G846 his G2222 life G142 is taken G575 from G1093 the earth.

34 G1161 And G2135 the eunuch G611 answered G5376 Philip, G2036 and said, G1189 I pray G4675 thee, G4012 of G5101 whom G3004 speaketh G4396 the prophet G5124 this? G4012 of G1438 himself, G2228 or G4012 of G5100 some G2087 other?

35 G2532 And G5376 Philip G455 opened G846 his G4750 mouth, G2532 and G756 beginning G575 from G1124 this Scripture, G2097 preached G846 unto him G2424 Jesus.

36 G1161 And G5613 as G4198 they went G2596 on G3598 the way, G2064 they came G1909 unto G5100 a certain G5204 water; G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G5346 saith, G2400 Behold, G5204 here is water; G5101 what G2967 doth hinder G3165 me G907 to be baptized?

38 G2532 And G2753 he commanded G716 the chariot G2476 to stand still: G2532 and G297 they both G2597 went down G1519 into G5204 the water, G5037 both G5376 Philip G2532 and G2135 the eunuch, G2532 and G907 he baptized G846 him.

39 G1161 And G3753 when G305 they came up G1537 out of G5204 the water, G4151 the Spirit G2962 of the Lord G726 caught away G5376 Philip; G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G1492 saw G846 him G3756 no G3765 more, G4198 for he went G846 on his G3598 way G5463 rejoicing.

40 G1161 But G5376 Philip G2147 was found G1519 at G108 Azotus: G2532 and G1330 passing through G2097 he preached G1519 the gospel to G3956 all G4172 the cities, G2193 till G846 he G2064 came G1519 to G2542 Caesarea.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And, Saul, was taking pleasure with them in his death. Moreover there arose, in that day, a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; [and], all, were scattered abroad throughout the countries of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was
⁴ They, indeed, therefore, who were scattered abroad, passed through, telling the good–news of the word; ⁵ And, Philip, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ. ⁶ And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working. ⁷ For, from many who had impure spirits, shouting with a loud voice, they were going out, and, many that were paralysed and lame, were cured. ⁸ And there came to be great joy in that city. ⁹ But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria,––saying that himself was someone great: ¹⁰ Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying––This, is the Power of God, which is called Great. ¹¹ And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them. ¹² But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And, Simon himself also, believed; and, having been immersed, was in constant attendance on Philip,––and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.
¹⁴ And the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John; ¹⁵ Who, indeed, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive Holy Spirit; –– ¹⁶ For, not yet, had it, upon any one of them, fallen, but, only, to begin with, they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then, proceeded they to lay their hands upon them, and they were receiving Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money, ¹⁹ Saying––Give unto me also this authority,––in order that, on whomsoever may lay my hands, he may receive Holy Spirit. ²⁰ And Peter said unto him––Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free–gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained! ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God. ²² Repent, therefore, from this thy baseness, and entreat of the Lord––whether, after all, the purpose of thy heart shall be forgiven thee; ²³ For see that thou servest as a gall–root of bitterness, and a bond of unrighteousness. ²⁴ And Simon, answering, said––Entreat ye, in my behalf, unto the Lord; that, nothing, may come upon me, of the things whereof ye have spoken! ²⁵ They, therefore, having fully borne witness, and spoken the word of the Lord, began their return unto Jerusalem, and, unto many villages of the Samaritans, were they telling the glad tidings.
²⁶ And, a messenger of the Lord, spake unto Philip, saying––Arise, and be journeying along southward, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza,––the same, is desert. ²⁷ And, arising, he journeyed. And lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, one in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure [who] had come to worship in Jerusalem; ²⁸ And was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said unto Philip––Go near, and join thyself unto this chariot! ³⁰ And, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said––Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading? ³¹ And, he, said––How indeed should be able––unless someone shall guide me? And he called upon Philip, to come up and sit with him. ³² Now, the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was, this:––As a sheep, unto slaughter, was he led, and, as a lamb, before him that sheareth it, is dumb, so, he openeth not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away,––his generation, who shall describe? because, his life, is taken away from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch, making answer unto Philip, said––I pray thee! Of whom, is the prophet saying this? of himself, or, of some different person? ³⁵ And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus. ³⁶ And, as they were journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water,––and the eunuch saith––Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed? ³⁷ <> ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down, both, into the water, both Philip and the eunuch,––and he immersed him. ³⁹ But, 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 was going on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ Now Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing through, he was telling the glad tidings unto all the cities, until he came unto Caesarea.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul approved of his being put to death. On that very day a great persecution broke out against the Church which was in Jerusalem; and its members, with the exception of the Apostles, were all scattered over the districts of Judea and Samaria. ² Some religious men buried Stephen, with loud lamentations for him. ³ But Saul began to devastate the Church; he entered house after house, dragged out men and women alike, and threw them into prison. ⁴ Now those who were scattered in different directions went from place to place proclaiming the Good News. ⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and there began to preach the Christ. ⁶ The people, one and all, listened attentively to what Philip told them, when they heard of, and saw, the miracles which he was working. ⁷ For there were many instances of people with foul spirits, where the spirits, with loud screams, came out of them; ⁸ And many who were paralyzed or lame were cured, so that there was great rejoicing throughout that city. ⁹ There was staying in the city a man named Simon, who had been practicing magic there and mystifying the Samaritan people, giving himself out to be some great Being. ¹⁰ Every one, high and low, paid attention to him. 'This man,' they used to say, 'must be that Power of God which men call "The Great Power."' ¹¹ And they paid attention to him because they had for a long time been mystified by his magic arts. ¹² However, when they came to believe Philip, as he told them the Good News about the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Even Simon believed, and after his baptism attached himself to Philip, and was in his turn mystified at seeing signs and great miracles constantly occurring. ¹⁴ When the Apostles at Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had welcomed God's Message, they sent Peter and John to them; ¹⁵ And they, on their arrival, prayed that the Samaritans might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (As yet the Spirit had not descended upon any of them; they had only been baptized into the Faith of the Lord Jesus). ¹⁷ Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ When Simon saw that it was through the placing of the Apostles' hands on them that the Spirit was given, he brought them a sum of money and said: ¹⁹ "Give me also this power of yours, so that, if I place my hands upon any one, he may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ "A curse upon you and upon your money," Peter exclaimed, "for thinking that God's free gift can be bought with gold! ²¹ You have no share or part in our Message, for your 'heart is not right with God.' ²² Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, that, if possible, you may be forgiven for such a thought; ²³ For I see that you have fallen into the 'bitterness of envy' and the 'fetters of sin.'" ²⁴ "Pray to the Lord for me, all of you," Simon answered, "so that none of the things you have spoken of may befall me." ²⁵ Peter and John, having borne their testimony and delivered the Lord's Message, returned to Jerusalem, telling the Good News, as they went, in many Samaritan villages. ²⁶ Meanwhile an angel of the Lord had said to Philip: "Set out on a journey southwards, along the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (It is now deserted). ²⁷ So Philip set out on a journey; and on his way he came upon an official of high rank, in the service of Candace, Queen of the Abyssinians. He was her treasurer, and had been to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ And was now on his way home, sitting in his carriage and reading the Prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ The Spirit said to Philip: "Go up to the carriage yonder and keep close to it." ³⁰ So Philip ran up, and he heard the Abyssinian reading the Prophet Isaiah. "Do you understand what you are reading?" he asked. ³¹ "How can I," the other answered, "unless some one will explain it to me?" and he invited Philip to get up and sit by his side. ³² The passage of Scripture which he was reading was this--'Like a sheep, he was led away to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in the hands of its shearer, so he refrains from opening his lips. ³³ In his lowly condition justice was denied him. Who will tell the story of his generation? For his life is cut off from earth.' ³⁴ "Now," said the Treasurer, addressing Philip, "tell me, of whom is the Prophet speaking? Of himself, or of some one else?" ³⁵ Then Philip began, and, taking this passage as his text, told him the Good News about Jesus. ³⁶ Presently, as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the Treasurer exclaimed: "Look! here is water; what is to prevent my being baptized?" ³⁷ OMITTED TEXT ³⁸ So he ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water--both Philip and the Treasurer--and Philip baptized him. ³⁹ But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the Treasurer saw no more of him; for he continued his journey with a joyful heart. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Ashdod, and, as he went on his way, he told the Good News in all the towns through which he passed, till he came to Caesarea.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there was a great persecution in that day against the church in Jerusalem: and all were dispersed abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And godly men buried Stephen, and made great mourning over him. ³ But Saul was laying waste the church, entering into the houses, and arresting men and women, he committed them to prison. ⁴ Therefore indeed, being dispersed abroad, they went everywhere preaching the word: ⁵ and Philip, having gone down to the city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them, ⁶ And the multitudes were unanimously giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, while they were hearing and seeing the miracles which he was performing. ⁷ For many of those having unclean spirits, roaring with a loud voice, went out: and many paralyzed and lame were healed; ⁸ and there was great joy in that city. 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. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ But Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, was constantly with Philip, both seeing the miracles and the great dynamites performed, was astonished. ¹⁴ But the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John: ¹⁵ who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. ¹⁶ For he had not yet fallen on any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ But Simon seeing that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Spirit was given, offered them money, saying, ¹⁹ Give me this power, that on whomsoever I may lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ And Peter said to him, Thy silver be unto destruction with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. ²¹ There is neither part nor lot to thee in this word: for thy heart is not right before God. ²² Therefore repent of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perchance the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee; ²³ for I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon responding said, You pray to the Lord for me, in order that none of these things of which you have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ Then indeed, witnessing and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south unto the way going down from Jerusalem to Gaza; the same is desert. ²⁷ And rising up, he departed. And, behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, an officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, had been to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and was returning, and sitting upon his chariot he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go, and join yourself to that chariot. ³⁰ And Philip running forth, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said; Whether do you understand what you are reading? ³¹ And he said, How could I, unless some one shall guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up, to sit with him; ³² and the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led like a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before the one shearing him is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare His generation? because his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch responding to Philip, said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet speak this? concerning himself, or some other man? ³⁵ Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from the same scripture, preached Jesus to him. ³⁶ And while they were journeying along the road, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch says, Behold water; what doth hinder me from being baptized? ³⁷ OMITTED TEXT ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both came down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ 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 And Philip was found at Azotus: and going through he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul fully approved of his murder. At this time a great persecution broke out against the Church in Jerusalem, and all except the Apostles were scattered throughout Judaea and Samaria. ² A party of devout men, however, buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation over him. ³ But Saul cruelly harassed the Church. He went into house after house, and, dragging off both men and women, threw them into prison. ⁴ Those, however, who were scattered abroad went from place to place spreading the Good News of God's Message; ⁵ while Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed Christ there. ⁶ Crowds of people, with one accord, gave attention to what they heard from him, listening, and witnessing the signs which he did. ⁷ For, with a loud cry, foul spirits came out of many possessed by them, and many paralytics and lame persons were restored to health. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ Now for some time past there had been a man named Simon living there, who had been practising magic and astonishing the Samaritans, pretending that he was more than human. ¹⁰ To him people of all classes paid attention, declaring, "This man is the Power of God, known as the great Power." ¹¹ His influence over them arose from their having been, for a long time, bewildered by his sorceries. ¹² But when Philip began to tell the Good News about the Kingdom of God and about the Name of Jesus Christ, and they embraced the faith, they were baptized, men and women alike. ¹³ Simon himself also believed, and after being baptized remained in close attendance on Philip, and was full of amazement at seeing such signs and such great miracles performed. ¹⁴ When the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had accepted God's Message, they sent Peter and John to visit them. ¹⁵ They, when they came down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit: ¹⁶ for He had not as yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then the Apostles placed their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ When, however, Simon saw that it was through the laying on of the Apostles' hands that the Spirit was bestowed, he offered them money. ¹⁹ "Give me too," he said, "that power, so that every one on whom I place my hands will receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ "Perish your money and yourself," replied Peter, "because you have imagined that you can obtain God's free gift with money! ²¹ No part or lot have you in this matter, for your heart is not right in God's sight. ²² Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, in the hope that the purpose which is in your heart may perhaps be forgiven you. ²³ For I perceive that you have fallen into the bitterest bondage of unrighteousness." ²⁴ "Pray, both of you, to the Lord for me," answered Simon, "that nothing of what you have said may come upon me." ²⁵ So the Apostles, after giving a solemn charge and delivering the Lord's Message, travelled back to Jerusalem, making known the Good News also in many of the Samaritan villages. ²⁶ And an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Rise and proceed south to the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza, crossing the Desert." ²⁷ Upon this he rose and went. Now, as it happened, an Ethiopian eunuch who was in a position of high authority with Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, as her treasurer, had visited Jerusalem to worship there, ²⁸ and was now on his way home; and as he sat in his chariot he was reading the Prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go and enter that chariot." ³⁰ So Philip ran up and heard the eunuch reading the Prophet Isaiah. "Do you understand what you are reading?" he asked. ³¹ "Why, how can I," replied the eunuch, "unless some one explains it to me?" And he earnestly invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: "LIKE A SHEEP HE WAS LED TO SLAUGHTER, AND JUST AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS DUMB SO HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH. ³³ IN HIS HUMILIATION JUSTICE WAS DENIED HIM. WHO WILL MAKE KNOWN HIS POSTERITY? FOR HE IS DESTROYED FROM AMONG MEN." ³⁴ "Pray, of whom is the Prophet speaking?" inquired the eunuch; "of himself or of some one else?" ³⁵ Then Philip began to speak, and, commencing with that same portion of Scripture, told him the Good News about Jesus. ³⁶ So they proceeded on their way till they came to some water; and the eunuch exclaimed, "See, here is water; what is there to prevent my being baptized?" ³⁷ OMITTED TEXT ³⁸ So he stopped the chariot; and both of them--Philip and the eunuch--went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. ³⁹ But no sooner had they come up out of the water than the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again. With a glad heart he resumed his journey; ⁴⁰ but Philip found himself at Ashdod. Then visiting town after town he everywhere made known the Good News until he reached Caesarea.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was approving of his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the countries of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul was laying waste the assembly, entering house after house; and, dragging men and women, was committing them to prison. ⁴ Those, therefore, who were dispersed, went about, proclaiming the good tidings of the word. ⁵ And Philip, having come down to the city of Samaria, preached to them the Christ. ⁶ And the multitudes, with one accord, were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the things which he was doing. ⁷ For unclean spirits came forth from many of those possessing them, crying with a loud voice; and many paralyzed and lame persons were healed; ⁸ and there was much joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man, Simon by name, was in the city before, using sorcery, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, affirming himself to be some great one; ¹⁰ to whom all were giving heed, from small to great, saying, "This man is the power of God, which is called Great." ¹¹ And they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with his sorceries. ¹² But, when they believed Philip proclaiming the glad tidings concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon also himself believed; and, having been immersed, he was adhering closely to Philip; and, beholding the signs and great miracles being done, he was amazed. ¹⁴ Now the apostles in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John; ¹⁵ who, indeed, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; ¹⁶ for as yet He had fallen upon no one of them, but they had only been immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now Simon, seeing that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Give me also this authority, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought to acquire the gift of God with money! ²¹ You have no part nor lot in this matter; for your heart is not right before God. ²² Repent, therefore, of this your wickedness, and entreat the Lord, if, perhaps, the thought of your heart may be forgiven you; ²³ for I see that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity." ²⁴ And Simon answered and said, "Pray ye to the Lord in my behalf, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me." ²⁵ They, therefore, having fully testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and preaching the Gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, "Arise, and go toward the south, on the way that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza:" this is a wilderness. ²⁷ And, having arisen, he went on; and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a state-officer of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship; ²⁸ he was also returning, and, sitting on his chariot, was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near, and join yourself to this chariot." ³⁰ And Philip, having run near, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you, then, understand what you are reading?" ³¹ But he said, "How, in fact, were I able, unless some one should guide me?" And he besought Philip, having come up, to sit with him. ³² 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 dumb before its shearer, so He openeth not His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation, His judgment was taken away; His generation who shall declare? because His life is being taken away from the earth." ³⁴ And the eunuch, answering Philip, said, "I pray you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself, or of someone else?" ³⁵ And Philip, opening his mouth, and, beginning from this Scripture, proclaimed to him the good news of Jesus. ³⁶ And, as they were journeying along the way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch says, "Behold, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed?" ³⁷ [And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."] ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he immersed him. ³⁹ 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 was going on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ And Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing through, he was publishing the good news to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ (Saul quite approved of his murder.) That day a severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and everyone, with the exception of the apostles, was scattered over Judaea and Samaria. ² Devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him, ³ but Saul made havoc of the church by entering one house after another, dragging off men and women, and consigning them to prison. ⁴ Now those who were scattered went through the land preaching the gospel. ⁵ Philip travelled down to a town in Samaria, where he preached Christ to the people. ⁶ And the crowds attended like one man to what was said by Philip, listening to him and watching the miracles he performed. ⁷ For unclean spirits came screaming and shrieking out of many who had been possessed, and many paralytics and lame people were healed. ⁸ So there was great rejoicing in that town. ⁹ Now for some time previous a man called Simon had been practising magic arts in the town, to the utter astonishment of the Samaritan nation; he made himself out to be a great person, ¹⁰ and all sorts and conditions of people attached themselves to him, declaring he was that Power of God which is known as 'the Great Power.' ¹¹ They attached themselves to him because he had dazzled them with his skill in magic for a considerable time. ¹² But when they believed Philip, who preached the gospel of the Reign of God and the name of Jesus, they had themselves baptized, both men and women; ¹³ indeed Simon himself believed, and after his baptism kept close to Philip, utterly astonished to see the signs and striking miracles which were taking place. ¹⁴ When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they despatched Peter and John, ¹⁵ who came down and prayed that the Samaritans might receive the holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (As yet it had not fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now Simon noticed that the holy Spirit was conferred by the laying on of the apostles' hands; so he brought them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Let me share this power too, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the holy Spirit." ²⁰ Peter said to him, "Death to you and your money, for dreaming you could buy the gift of God! ²¹ You come in for no share or lot in this religion. Your heart is all wrong in the sight of God. ²² So repent of this wickedness of yours, and ask God whether you cannot be forgiven for your heart's purpose. ²³ For I see you are a bitter poison and a pack of evil." ²⁴ Simon replied, "Beseech the Lord for me! Pray that nothing you have said may befall me!" ²⁵ After bearing their testimony to the word of the Lord and preaching it, the apostles went back to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to a number of the Samaritan villages; ²⁶ but an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Get up and go south, along the road from Jerusalem to Gaza" (the desert-route). ²⁷ So he got up and went on his way. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a high official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians (he was her chief treasurer), who had come to Jerusalem for worship ²⁸ and was on his way home. He was sitting in his chariot, reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ The Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join that chariot." ³⁰ When Philip ran up, he heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. "Do you really understand what you are reading?" ³¹ he asked. "Why, how can I possibly understand it," said the eunuch, "unless some one puts me on the right track?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit beside him. ³² Now the passage of scripture which he was reading was as follows: — he was led like a sheep to be slaughtered, and as a lamb is dumb before the shearer, so he opens not his lips. ³³ By humbling himself he had his doom removed. Who can tell his family? For his life is cut off from the earth. ³⁴ So the eunuch said to Philip, "Pray, who is the prophet speaking about? Is it himself or someone else?" ³⁵ Then Philip opened his lips, and starting from this scripture preached the gospel of Jesus to him. ³⁶ As they travelled on, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water! What is to prevent me being baptized?" ³⁷ -- ³⁸ So he ordered the chariot to stop. Both of them stepped into the water, and Philip baptized the eunuch. ³⁹ When they came up from the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch lost sight of him. He went on his way rejoicing, ⁴⁰ while Philip found himself at Azotus, where he passed on, preaching the gospel in every town, till he reached Caesarea.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul entirely approved of his being put to death. A great persecution of the church in Jerusalem broke out that day, and they were all scattered over Judea and Samaria except the apostles. ² Some pious men buried Stephen and loudly lamented him. ³ But Saul harassed the church. He went into one house after another, and dragging out men and women, put them in prison. ⁴ Those who were scattered went from place to place preaching the good news of the message. ⁵ Philip reached the city of Samaria, and proclaimed the Christ to them. ⁶ When the people heard Philip and saw the signs that he showed they were all interested in what he had to say, ⁷ for with loud cries foul spirits came out of many who had been possessed by them, and many paralytics and lame people were cured. ⁸ So there was great rejoicing in that city. ⁹ There was a man named Simon in the town, who had been amazing the Samaritan people by practicing magic there, and who made great pretensions. ¹⁰ Everyone there, high and low, made much of him, and said, "He must be what is known as the Great Power of God!" ¹¹ They made much of him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic. ¹² But when they believed Philip's message of the good news of the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, men and women alike accepted baptism. ¹³ Even Simon himself believed and after his baptism devoted himself to Philip, and he was amazed at seeing such signs and great wonders taking place. ¹⁴ When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted God's message, they sent Peter and John there. ¹⁵ When they came, they prayed that the Samaritans might receive the holy Spirit, ¹⁶ for it had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But when Simon saw that the holy Spirit was imparted through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Give me also this power to communicate the holy Spirit to anyone I place my hands upon." ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "Go to destruction with your money, for thinking you could buy God's gift with it! ²¹ You have no share or part in this movement, for your heart is not honest in the sight of God. ²² So repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, to see if you may not be forgiven for thinking of such a thing. ²³ For I see that you are a bitter poison and a bundle of iniquity!" ²⁴ Simon answered, "You must pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things you have said may happen to me!" ²⁵ After they had given their testimony and delivered the Lord's message, they went back to Jerusalem, telling the good news in many Samaritan villages on the way. ²⁶ But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Get up and go south, by the road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza." (The town is now deserted.) ²⁷ So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a member of the court of Candace, queen of Ethiopia, her chief treasurer, who had come up to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and was on his way home. He was sitting in his car, reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and stay by that car." ³⁰ Philip ran up and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and he said to him, "Do you understand what you are reading?" ³¹ "Why, how can I," he answered, "unless someone explains it to me?" And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him. ³² This was the passage of Scripture that he was reading: "Like a sheep he was led away to be slaughtered, And just as a lamb is dumb before its shearer, He does not open his mouth. ³³ His sentence ended in his humiliation. Who will tell the story of his posterity? For his life is perished from the earth." ³⁴ "Tell me, of whom is the prophet speaking?" said the eunuch to Philip, "Of himself, or of someone else?" ³⁵ Then Philip began, and starting from this passage, he told him the good news about Jesus. ³⁶ As they went on along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Here is some water! What is there to prevent my being baptized?" ³⁷ OMITTED TEXT ³⁸ So he ordered the car to stop, and Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. ³⁹ When they came out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord hurried Philip away, and the eunuch saw nothing more of him. Full of joy, he went on with his journey, ⁴⁰ while Philip found himself at Ashdod and went on telling the good news in all the towns all the way to Caesarea.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ SAUL also approved of their putting him to death. On that day arose a great persecution of the church in Jerusalem. All except the apostles were scattered through Judaea and Samaria. ² Pious men carried Stephen away for burial and made great lamentation over him. ³ Saul cruelly hounded the church from house to house, entering and dragging out men and women and handing them over into prison. ⁴ Those who were scattered went to various places telling the good news. ⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them. ⁶ The crowds with one mind gave attention to what was said by Philip, listening to his words and seeing the signs that he did. ⁷ For impure spirits came out shrieking from many who had been possessed, and many paralytic and lame people were healed. ⁸ There was great rejoicing in that city. ⁹ A certain man named Simon had previously been practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one. ¹⁰ They had all given attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the power of God which is called great." ¹¹ They had given attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them by his magic. ¹² But when they believed Philip, who was telling the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Simon himself also believed and was baptized and attached himself to Philip, and seeing the signs and great miracles that took place he was astonished. ¹⁴ When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the message of God, they sent to them Peter and John. ¹⁵ They on arrival prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For the Spirit had not yet fallen on any one of them; they had merely been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Give to me also this power that whoever I lay hands on may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you because you have thought that you could buy the gift of God with money! ²¹ You have no part or lot in this matter. For your heart is not right before God. ²² Repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, if possible, the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and the fetters of unrighteousness." ²⁴ Simon answered, "You pray for me to the Lord that nothing of what you have said may come on me." ²⁵ So when they had borne their testimony and had spoken the message of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, telling the good news in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ An angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Arise and go south-ward on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the road through the desert." ²⁷ He arose and went. Now there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of high rank under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over her treasury. He had been to Jerusalem to worship ²⁸ and was on his return, sitting in his chariot and reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ The Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot." ³⁰ Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?" ³¹ He said, "How can I without some one to guide me?" He begged Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The passage of Scripture that he was reading was, "He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so he did not open his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth." ³⁴ The eunuch said to Philip, "Please tell me, of whom is the prophet speaking — of himself or of some one else?" ³⁵ Philip opened his mouth and beginning with that Scripture told him the good news about Jesus. ³⁶ As they were going along the road they came to water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water. What is there to hinder my being baptized?" ³⁷ TEXT OMITTED ³⁸ He ordered the chariot to stop and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ When they had come up out of the water, the Spirit caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more. He went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and passing through all the cities he told the good news until he came to Casarea.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ With these words he fell asleep. And Saul fully approved of his murder. On this very day there broke out a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostle were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. ² Devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentations over him. ³ But Saul was laying waste the church. He was wont to enter into every house, and to drag off men and women, and to commit them to prison. ⁴ So those who were scattered abroad were going everywhere preaching the word. ⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and began to preach Christ there. ⁶ The crowd with one accord were giving heed to what he said, when they heard and saw the signs that he did. ⁷ For with a loud cry unclean spirits would come out of many possessed by them, and many that were palsied and lame were healed. ⁸ There began to be great joy in that city. ⁹ Now for some time a man named Simon had been practicing sorcery in that city, and had amazed the people of Samaria. He gave himself out to be some great person. ¹⁰ Many from all classes would give heed to him, declaring, "This man is the Power of God, known as the Great Power." ¹¹ They were giving heed to him because, for a long time, he had amazed them with his sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip, who was preaching glad tidings about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they began to be baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and after his baptism he remained with Philip, and was full of amazement as he beheld the signs and striking miracles which were performed. ¹⁴ The apostle at Jerusalem, when they heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, sent to them Peter and John. ¹⁵ Who came down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ For he had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then the apostles laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But when Simon perceived that, by the laying on of the apostles' hands, the Spirit was given, he offered them money saying, ¹⁹ "Give me, too, this power, so that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him. "Your money perish with you, because you have supposed that with money you can obtain God's free gift!" ²¹ "You have no part or lot in this matter." Your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent then of this your wickedness, and beseech the Lord to forgive you this purpose of your heart. ²³ "For I perceive that you still stand in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of unrighteousness." ²⁴ And Simon answered, "Pray to the Lord for me, both of you, that nothing which you have said may happen to me." ²⁵ So the apostles, after bearing solemn witness, and declaring the message of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, evangelizing many Samaritan villages as they went. ²⁶ And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go on your way south, along the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert way." ²⁷ So he arose and went. And behold an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, who was a high official (a chief treasurer) of Candace, the queen of Ethiopia, who had come to Jerusalem to worship ²⁸ Was now on his way home, and was reading the Prophet Isaiah as he sat in his chariot. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join that chariot." ³⁰ So Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the Prophet, and said to him. "Do you understand what you are reading?" ³¹ The eunuch answered, "Why, how can I unless someone shall show me the way?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit with him. ³² Now the portion of Scripture which he was reading was as follows. He was led a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, So he opened not his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will declare his posterity? For his life is cut off from the earth. ³⁴ "Pray," asked the eunuch of Philip, "of whom is the prophet speaking? Of himself, or of some one else?" ³⁵ Then Philip opened his lips, and beginning from that same scripture, he preached the gospel of Jesus to him. ³⁶ And as they were going on their way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said: "See, here is water! What hinders my being baptized?" ³⁷ And Philip said, "If you believe with your whole heart, you may." The eunuch answered, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." ³⁸ And he ordered the chariot to stop; and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. ³⁹ And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ Philip found himself at Ashdod. Then visiting town after town, he kept preaching the good news in all the cities until he reached Caesarea.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ SAUL was pleased to have had a part in the murder of Stephen. At that very time there was severe persecution against the church at Jerusalem; and they were all, with the exception of the apostles, dispersed throughout the towns of JudµÆa and SamaÆria. ² And devout men picked up Stephen and buried him, and they mourned over him in great sorrow. ³ As for Saul, he continued to persecute the church of God, entering into houses and dragging out men and women and delivering them to prison, ⁴ So that they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word of God. ⁵ Then Philip went down to a Samaritan city and preached to them about Christ. ⁶ And when the people of that place heard his word, they gave heed and listened attentively to everything Philip said, because they saw the miracles which he did. ⁷ Many who were mentally afflicted, cried with loud voices and were restored; and others who were paralytic and lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ Now there was there a man called Semon, who had lived in that city a long time, and who had deceived the Samaritan people by his magic, boasting of himself and saying, I am the greatest one. ¹⁰ And both the noblest and the least followed him, saying, He is the greatest power of God. ¹¹ All of them listened to him, because for a long time he had bewitched them with his sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Semon himself also believed and was baptized and attached himself to Philip, and as he saw the miracles and great signs performed by his hand, he marvelled greatly. ¹⁴ N ow when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that the Samaritan people had accepted the word of God, they sent to them Simon Peter and John, ¹⁵ Who, when they went down, prayed over them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For as yet it had not come upon them although they had been baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Semon saw that the Holy Spirit was given by the laying on of the apostlesÆ hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ Saying, Give me also this authority so that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ Simon Peter said to him, Let your money perish with you because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with wealth. ²¹ You have no part nor lot in this faith because your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent, therefore, of this evil of yours, and beseech God that he may perhaps forgive you for the guile which is in your heart. ²³ For I see your heart is as bitter as gall and you are in the bonds of iniquity. ²⁴ Then Semon answered and said, Pray God for me so that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ Now when Simon Peter and John had testified and taught them the word of God, they returned to Jerusalem after they had preached in many Samaritan villages. ²⁶ And the angel of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go south by way of the desert that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza, ²⁷ So he arose and went: and he was met by a eunuch, who had come from E-thi-oÆpi-a; an official of CanÆda-ce, queen of the E-thioÆpi- ans, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to worship at Jerusalem. ²⁸ While he was returning, sitting in his chariot, he read the book of the prophet IsaÆiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and keep close to the chariot. ³⁰ And as Philip drew near and heard him reading from the book of the prophet I-saÆiah, he said to him, Do you understand what you are reading? ³¹ And the E-thi-oÆpi-an said, How can I understand unless some one teach me? and he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The portion of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a ewe sheep before the shearer, so he opened not his mouth: ³³ In his humiliation, he suffered imprisonment and judgment: none can tell his struggle, for even his life is taken away from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch said to Philip. I pray you, of whom does this prophet speak? of himself or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth and began at that same scripture and preached to him concerning our LORD Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a place where there was water; and the eunuch said, Behold here is water; what prevents me from being baptized? ³⁷ * And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot be stopped: and both went down into the water, and Philip baptized the eunuch. ³⁹ And when they came up from the water, the Spirit of the LORD caught Philip away and the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ Philip was found at Az-oÆtus: and from there he traveled around and preached in all the cities till he came to Cµs-a-reÆa.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Yet Saul was endorsing his assassination. Now in that day there came to be a great persecution of the ecclesia which is in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed among the districts of Judea and Samaria, save the apostles." ² Yet pious men are Stephen's pallbearers, and they make a great grieving over him." ³ Now Saul devastated the ecclesia; going into the homes, dragging out both men and women, he gave them over to jail." ⁴ Those indeed, then, who are dispersed, passed through, evangelizing with the word." ⁵ Now Philip, coming down into the city of Samaria, heralded Christ to them." ⁶ Now the throngs with one accord heeded the things being said by Philip, on hearing them and observing the signs which he did." ⁷ For from many of those having unclean spirits, they came out, imploring with a loud voice. Now many who were paralyzed and lame were cured." ⁸ Now much joy came to be in that city. ⁹ Yet, before this, a certain man named Simon existed in the city by using magic and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be some great one, ¹⁰ whom they all heeded, from the small to the great, saying, "This man is the power of the god which is called Great." ¹¹ Now they heeded him because of the considerable time the magic had to amaze them. ¹² Yet when they believe Philip bringing the evangel concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women." ¹³ Now Simon, he also believes, and being baptized, was waiting on Philip. Besides, beholding the signs and great powerful deeds occurring, he is amazed." ¹⁴ Now the apostles in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria has received the word of God, dispatch to them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who, descending, pray concerning them, so that they may be obtaining holy spirit, ¹⁶ for not as yet was it fallen on any of them, yet only, having been baptized, they belonged to the name of the Lord Jesus." ¹⁷ Then they place their hands on them, and they obtained holy spirit." ¹⁸ Yet Simon, perceiving that through the imposition of the hands of the apostles the spirit is being given, offers them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Give me also this authority, that on whomsoever I may be placing my hands, he may be obtaining holy spirit." ²⁰ Yet Peter said to him, "May your silver be for destruction together with you, seeing that you infer that the gratuity of God is to be acquired by means of money!" ²¹ For you there is neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not straight in front of God." ²² Repent, then, from this evil of yours, and beseech the Lord, if, consequently, the notion of your heart will be forgiven you." ²³ For I see you are in the bile of bitterness and the fetter of injustice." ²⁴ Now answering, Simon said, "You beseech the Lord for my sake so that nothing may be coming on me which you have declared." ²⁵ Those indeed, then, who certify and speak the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem. Besides, they evangelized many villages of the Samaritans." ²⁶ Now a messenger of the Lord speaks to Philip, saying, "Rise and go at midday on the road which is descending from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a wilderness." ²⁷ And rising, he went. And lo! a man, an Ethiopian eunuch, a potentate of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over her entire exchequer, who had come, to be worshiping, to Jerusalem." ²⁸ Besides, he was returning and sitting on his chariot, and he read the prophet Isaiah." ²⁹ Now the spirit said to Philip, "Approach and be joined to this chariot." ³⁰ Now Philip, running toward him, hears him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Consequently, you surely know what you are reading!" ³¹ Yet he said, "For how should I be able, if ever someone should not be guiding me?Besides, he entreats Philip, stepping up, to be seated with him." ³² Now the context of the scripture which he read was this: "As a sheep to slaughter was He led, And as a lamb in front of its shearer is not bleating, Thus He is not opening His mouth." ³³ In His humiliation His judging was taken away. His generation who will be relating? For His life is being taken away from the earth." ³⁴ Now answering, the eunuch said to Philip, "I beseech you, concerning whom is the prophet saying this, concerning himself or concerning some different person? ³⁵ Now Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, evangelizes to him Jesus." ³⁶ Now as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch is averring, "Lo! Water! What is preventing me from being baptized? ³⁷ - ³⁸ And he orders the chariot to stand, and they both descended into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptizes him." ³⁹ Now when they stepped up out of the water, the spirit of the Lord snatches away Philip, and the eunuch did not perceive him any longer, for he went his way rejoicing." ⁴⁰ Now Philip was found in Azotus, and, passing through, he brought the evangel to all the cities, till his coming into Caesarea."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul heartily approved of his being put to death. So on that day a severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all of them, except the apostles, were scattered over Judea and Samaria. ² Some devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation for him. ³ But Saul continued to harass the church, and by going from house to house and dragging off men and women he continued to put them into prison. ⁴ Now those who were scattered went from place to place preaching the good news of the message. ⁵ So Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began to preach the Christ to the Samaritans. ⁶ As the crowds continued to listen to his message and continued to see his wonder-works which he was performing, with one mind they became interested in what was said by Philip. ⁷ For many of those under the power of foul spirits cried out and the spirits came out of them, and many paralyzed and crippled people were cured. ⁸ So there was great rejoicing in that city. ⁹ There was a man named Simon in the city, who had kept the Samaritan people thrilled by practicing magic there and by claiming to be a great man. ¹⁰ Everybody, high and low, kept running after him, saying, "He is certainly what is known as the Great Power of God!" ¹¹ They kept running after him, because for a long time he had thrilled them with his magical performances. ¹² But when the people came to believe the good news proclaimed by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were constantly baptized. ¹³ So Simon himself came to believe too, and after he was baptized he continued to be devoted to Philip, and he was always thrilled at seeing such great signs and wonder-works continuously performed. ¹⁴ When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted God's message, they sent Peter and John there. ¹⁵ They came and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ for as yet He had not come upon any of them, but they had been baptized merely in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them, and one by one they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ So when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was conferred by the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ and said, "Give me this power too, that when I lay my hands on anyone he may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "Your money go to perdition with you for even dreaming you could buy the gift of God with money! ²¹ You have no share or part in this matter, for your heart is not sincere in the sight of God. ²² So repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, to see if this thought of your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ For I see that you are a bitter weed and a bundle of crookedness!" ²⁴ So Simon answered, "Both of you beg the Lord for me that none of the things you have said may befall me!" ²⁵ So after they had given their testimony and spoken the Lord's message, they started back to Jerusalem, and on the way continued to tell the good news in many Samaritan villages. ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Get up and go south by the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is the desert road." ²⁷ So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian official, a member of the court of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, her chief treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and now was on his way home. He was seated in his chariot, reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ So the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join him in his chariot." ³⁰ Then Philip ran up and listened to him reading the prophet Isaiah, and he asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?" ³¹ He answered, "How in the world could I, unless someone teaches me?" And he begged him to get up and sit with him. ³² Now this was the passage of Scripture that he was reading: "Like a sheep He was led away to be slaughtered, and just as a lamb is dumb before its shearer, so He does not open His mouth. ³³ Justice was denied Him in His humiliation, who can tell of His times? For His life is removed from the earth." ³⁴ "Tell me, I pray, of whom is the prophet speaking," asked the official of Philip, "of himself or of someone else?" ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and starting from this passage, he told him the good news about Jesus. ³⁶ As they continued down the road, they came to some water, and the official said, "Look! here is some water! What is there to keep me from being baptized?" ³⁷ Omitted Text. ³⁸ So he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the official both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. ³⁹ When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away; the official saw him no more, for he went on home rejoicing; ⁴⁰ but Philip was found at Ashdod, and he went on telling the good news in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul gave approval to his death. Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria. ² And God-fearing men put Stephen's body in its last resting-place, making great weeping over him. ³ But Saul was burning with hate against the church, going into every house and taking men and women and putting them in prison. ⁴ But those who had gone in flight went everywhere preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip went down to Samaria and was teaching them about Christ. ⁶ And all the people gave attention to the words which Philip said, when they saw the signs which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits came out from those who had them, crying with a loud voice; and a number of those who were ill and broken in body were made well. ⁸ And there was much joy in that town. ⁹ But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man: ¹⁰ To whom they all gave attention, from the smallest to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is named Great. ¹¹ And they gave attention to him, because for a long time his wonder-working powers had kept them under his control. ¹² But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism. ¹³ And Simon himself had faith and, having had baptism, he went with Philip and, seeing the signs and the great wonders which he did, he was full of surprise. ¹⁴ Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John; ¹⁵ Who, when they came there, made prayer for them, that the Holy Spirit might be given to them: ¹⁶ For up to that time he had not come on any of them; only baptism had been given to them in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they put their hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the touch of the Apostles' hands, he made them an offering of money, saying, ¹⁹ Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price. ²¹ You have no part in this business, because your heart is not right before God. ²² Let your heart be changed, and make prayer to God that you may have forgiveness for your evil thoughts. ²³ For I see that you are prisoned in bitter envy and the chains of sin. ²⁴ And Simon, answering, said, Make prayer for me to the Lord, so that these things which you have said may not come on me. ²⁵ So they, having given their witness and made clear the word of the Lord, went back to Jerusalem, giving the good news on their way in a number of the small towns of Samaria. ²⁶ But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Get up, and go to the south, to the road which goes from Jerusalem to Gaza, through the waste land. ²⁷ And he went and there was a man of Ethiopia, a servant of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and controller of all her property, who had come up to Jerusalem for worship; ²⁸ He was going back, seated in his carriage, and was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and get on his carriage. ³⁰ And Philip, running up to him, saw that he was reading Isaiah the prophet, and said to him, Is the sense of what you are reading clear to you? ³¹ And he said, How is that possible when I have no guide? And he made Philip get up by his side. ³² Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound: ³³ Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth. ³⁴ And the Ethiopian said to Philip, About whom are these words said by the prophet? about himself, or some other? ³⁵ So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus. ³⁶ And while they were going on their way, they came to some water, and the Ethiopian said, See, here is water; why may I not have baptism? ³⁷ (OMITTED TEXT) ³⁸ And he gave orders for the carriage to be stopped, and the two of them went down into the water, and Philip gave him baptism. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; and the Ethiopian saw him no more, for he went on his way full of joy. ⁴⁰ But Philip came to Azotus, and went through all the towns, preaching the good news, till he came to Caesarea.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting to his death. And in that day there was a great persecution on the church at Jerusalem, and all were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men buried Stephen and made a great mourning over him. ³ But Saul ravaged the church, entering into every house. And dragging men and women, he delivered them up to prison. ⁴ Then, indeed, the ones who had been scattered passed through, preaching the gospel, the Word. ⁵ And Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed Christ to them. ⁶ And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the many miracles which he did. ⁷ For out of those having unclean spirits, many came out, crying with loud voice. And many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man called Simon had long been conjuring in the city, and amazing the nation of Samaria, claiming himself to be some great one. ¹⁰ All gave heed to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, This one is the great power of God. ¹¹ And they were paying attention to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with conjuring. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel, the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself believed also, and being baptized, he continued with Philip. And seeing miracles and mighty works happening, he was amazed. ¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem hearing that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them; ¹⁵ who when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For as yet He had not fallen on any of them, they were baptized only in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me this power also, that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, May your silver perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And answering Simon said, You pray to the Lord for me that none of these things which you have spoken may come on me. ²⁵ Then, indeed, having earnestly testified and having spoken the Word of the Lord also having preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans, they returned to Jerusalem. ²⁶ And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise and go toward the south, on the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is a deserted place. ²⁷ And he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ was returning. And sitting in his chariot he read Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join yourself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran there to him and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Do you indeed understand what you are reading? ³¹ And he said, How can I unless some man should guide me? And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² And the content of the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so He opened not His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, and who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth." ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip and said, I beg you, of whom does the prophet speak this? Of himself or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same Scripture and preached the gospel of Jesus to him. ³⁶ And as they passed along the way, they came on some water. And the eunuch said, See, here is water, what hinders me from being baptized? ³⁷ Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, it is lawful. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ 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 And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting to the doing away of him. And in that day a great persecution took place on the church which was in Jerusalem; and all were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men together carried Stephen and made a great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul ravaged the church, entering house by house, dragging both men and women, he delivered them to prison. ⁴ Then, indeed, the ones who had been scattered passed through, preaching the gospel, the Word. ⁵ And going down to a city of Samaria, Philip proclaimed Christ to them. ⁶ And with one passion the crowds heeded that being said by Philip when they heard and saw the many miracles which he did. ⁷ For many came out from those having unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice. And many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ And great joy was in that city. ⁹ But a certain man named Simon had long been conjuring in the city and amazing the nation of Samaria, claiming himself to be some great one. ¹⁰ All were paying attention to him, from small to great, saying, This one is the power of God, which is great. ¹¹ And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his conjuring. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel, the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and being baptized was continuing steadfastly with Philip. And seeing miracles and mighty works happening, he was amazed. ¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem hearing that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who going down prayed concerning them so that they may receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For He had not yet fallen on any one of them, but they were only being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But Simon having seen that the Holy Spirit is given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give to me also this authority that to whomever I may lay on the hands he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, May your silver be with you into perdition, because you thought to get the gift of God through money. ²¹ There is neither part nor lot to you in this matter, for your heart is not upright before the face of God. ²² Repent, then, from this wickedness of yours, and petition God if perhaps you will be forgiven the thought of your heart. ²³ For I see you being in the gall of bitterness and a bundle of unrighteousness. ²⁴ And answering Simon said, You petition to the Lord for me, so that nothing of which you have spoken may come on me. ²⁵ Then indeed having earnestly testified and having spoken the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, even having announced the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go along south on the highway going down to Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a deserted place . ²⁷ And rising up he went. And, behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, one in power with Candace the queen of Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship! ²⁸ And he was returning. And sitting on his chariot he read the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join yourself to this chariot. ³⁰ And running near Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Indeed, do you know what you are reading? ³¹ But he said, How should I be able except someone shall guide me? And he called Philip near, to come up to sit with him. ³² And the content of the Scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb voiceless before the one shearing it, so He does not open His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation His judgment was taken away; and who will recount His generation? For His life is taken away from the earth." Isa. 53:7, 8 ³⁴ And answering the eunuch said to Philip, I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one? ³⁵ And opening his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, Philip announced the gospel to him, Jesus. ³⁶ And as they were going along the highway they came on some water. And the eunuch said, Behold, water! What prevents me from being baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If you believe from all the heart, it is lawful. And answering he said, I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ But when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip. And the eunuch did not see him any more; for he went his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ And Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was in full agreement with Stephen being put to death. And a great persecution broke out against the Jerusalem church, and all the disciples, except the apostles, were scattered throughout the districts of Judea and Samaria. ² The godly men who buried Stephen's body mourned over his loss very deeply. ³ But Saul brought devastation to the church by entering everyone's house and dragging men and women off to jail. ⁴ Now the disciples, who had become scattered all over, went everywhere preaching the message [of God]. ⁵ And Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed Christ to them. ⁶ Great crowds of people joined together in accepting Philip's message when they heard and saw the [miraculous] signs he was able to perform. ⁷ Evil spirits came out, with loud shrieks, from many persons and large numbers of people were healed of their paralysis and crippled conditions. ⁸ And there was much rejoicing in Samaria [over the wonderful effects of Philip's ministry]. ⁹ But a certain man named Simon, from there in Samaria, who had been amazing the people with his magical powers, was claiming to be someone great. ¹⁰ Everyone, from the least to the greatest [in importance], was being impressed by him. They were saying, "This man is being called Great [and has] power from God." ¹¹ And people were paying attention to him because he had been amazing them with his magic for a long time. ¹² When people believed the good news about God's kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, which Philip was preaching, both men and women were immersed [in water]. ¹³ And [this] Simon also believed [Philip's message] and was immersed. [After that] he continued [to travel] with Philip and was amazed by the [supernatural] signs and great miracles he saw [him perform]. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had responded to the message of God, they sent Peter and John to them. ¹⁵ When these two apostles had come [to Samaria] they prayed for some [of the disciples] to receive [miraculous power from] the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ for as yet [such power] had not fallen on any of them; they had only been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus [i.e., with no accompanying miraculous powers]. ¹⁷ Then the apostles placed their hands on [some of] them [and prayed, see verse 15] and they received [miraculous power from] the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that through the placing of the apostles' hands [on people] the Holy Spirit was given [Note: The fact that Simon "saw" something happen suggests it was supernatural and therefore highly desirable by Simon], he offered to pay them money [for this power], ¹⁹ saying, "Give me also the ability to place my hands on people [and pray] so that they will receive [the miraculous power of] the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "You and your money will both be destroyed for thinking you could buy the gift from God with money. ²¹ You do not have any share or involvement in this matter because your heart is not right before God. ²² So, repent [i.e., change your heart and life] of such a terrible thing and pray for the Lord to forgive you for even thinking of such a thing. Perhaps He will [if you are really sincere]. ²³ For I can see that your life is as bitter gall [i.e., very evil] and you are enslaved by [your] sins." ²⁴ And Simon answered, "[Please] pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said about me will [really] happen." ²⁵ When Peter and John had testified [regarding the truth] and had proclaimed the message of God [to the people] they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the good news [about Jesus] in many Samaritan villages [on their way back]. ²⁶ [Meanwhile] an angel [sent] from the Lord spoke to Philip and said, "Get up and travel south on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza; that is a deserted region." ²⁷ So, he went and [eventually] came across a man who was the Ethiopian Queen Candace's treasurer. He was a high official and was also a eunuch [Note: This was a man without normal sexual activity], who had been to Jerusalem to worship [i.e., probably as a Jewish proselyte]. ²⁸ He was returning [to his home in Ethiopia] and was sitting in his chariot [Note: Chariots were stopped on long journeys occasionally for resting, eating, reading, etc.] reading [a scroll of] the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ The Holy Spirit said to Philip, "Go on up close to the chariot." ³⁰ So, Philip ran over to it and [when he got near enough] he heard the Ethiopian eunuch reading from Isaiah the prophet and asked him, "Do you understand what you are reading?" ³¹ And the man replied, "How can I, except with someone's guidance?" Then he urged Philip to come and sit with him [in the chariot]. ³² Now the passage of Scripture he was reading said [Isa. 53:7ff], "He was led out to be slaughtered as a sheep; He made no sound, just like a lamb when it was being sheared. ³³ He was subjected to [terrible] humiliation and deprived of justice. Who will [there be to] trace His descendants, since His life was taken from Him, [leaving no posterity]." ³⁴ The [Ethiopian] eunuch then asked Philip "Please tell me, is the prophet [Isaiah] writing about himself or about someone else?" ³⁵ So, Philip opened his mouth, and beginning [his message] from this Scripture [passage], he preached to him [about] Jesus. ³⁶ As they [i.e., Philip, the Ethiopian eunuch and his attendants] traveled along they came to a certain [body of] water. The [Ethiopian] eunuch said, "Look, here is [a body of] water, why can’t I be immersed [right now]?" {{Verse ³⁷ is absent from many manuscripts}}. ³⁸ So, the eunuch ordered the chariot to be stopped; then both Philip and the [Ethiopian] eunuch went down into the water and Philip immersed the eunuch [into Christ]. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, the Holy Spirit of the Lord [supernaturally?] directed Philip to go elsewhere and the eunuch did not see him anymore, as he continued on his journey rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But [later on] Philip appeared at Azotus and after leaving there he preached the good news [of Jesus] to all the towns along the way until he reached Caesarea. [Note: Caesarea was a town on the west coast of Palestine, named after the emperor Caesar].

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was approving the killing of him. And on that day there developed a great persecution against the church at Jerusalem. And they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men arranged to bury Stephen, and they made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul was ravaging the church, entering from house to house. Dragging both men and women, he gave them over to prison. ⁴ Indeed therefore those who were scattered abroad passed through proclaiming the good news, the word. ⁵ And Philip, who went down to a city of Samaria, proclaimed the Christ to them. ⁶ And the multitudes unanimously heeded the things that were spoken by Philip during their listening and seeing the signs that he did. ⁷ For of many of those who had unclean spirits, they came out, crying in a great voice. And many who were paralyzed, and who were lame, were healed. ⁸ And there became great joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man in the city, Simon by name, was formerly practicing sorcery, and fascinating the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be some great man, ¹⁰ to whom they gave heed, from small to great, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And they heeded him, because he fascinated them for a considerable time with the sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching good news, the things about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed. And after being immersed, he was continuing with Philip. And seeing miracles and signs occurring, he was astonished. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria has received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who, when they came down, prayed for them, so that they might receive the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ for it was not yet fallen upon any of them. They were only immersed in the name of the Christ Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he brought money to them, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, so that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy silver with thee, may it be for destruction, because thou thought to obtain the gift of God by money. ²¹ There is no part nor lot for thee in this matter, for thy heart is not straight in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore from this thine evil, and beg God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart will be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of unrighteousness. ²⁴ And having answered, Simon said, Beg ye to the Lord for me, so that none of which things ye have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ Indeed therefore, having solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And an agent of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desolate region. ²⁷ And after rising, he went. And behold a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a high official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship. ²⁸ And he was returning, and sitting in his chariot, and reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and be joined to this chariot. ³⁰ And after running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. And he said, Do thou also really understand the things that thou read? ³¹ And he said, For how can I unless some man may guide me? And he encouraged Philip, after coming up, to sit with him. ³² Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb, mute before shearing him, thus he opened not his mouth. ³³ In his lowly condition his justice was taken away. And who will describe his generation, because his life was taken from the earth? ³⁴ And having answered, the eunuch said to Philip, I ask thee, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself, or about some other man? ³⁵ And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this scripture, he preached the good news to him-the man Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch says, Look, water! What prevents me to be immersed? ³⁷ [This verse in not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.] ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through all the cities he preached the good news until he came to Caesarea.

He boasted that he was someone great, ¹⁰ and they all, from the least to the greatest, gave attention to him, saying, "This man is what is called the Great Power of God." ¹¹ And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic. ¹² But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip.

This is a desert road. ²⁷ So he got up and went. And there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot." ³⁰ So Philip ran up to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?" ³¹ And he said, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken up from the earth." ³⁴ And the eunuch said to Philip, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?" ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture he told him the good news of Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?" ³⁷ (...) ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

11 G1161 They G4337 listened G846 to him, G2425 because for a long G5550 time G1839 he had amazed G846 them G3095 with his sorceries.

12 G1161 But G3753 when G4100 they believed G5376 Philip G2097 preaching G3588 good news G4012 concerning G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God G2532 and G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ, G907 they were baptized, G5037 both G435 men G2532 and G1135 women.

13 G1161 G4613 Simon G846 himself G2532 also G4100 believed. G2532 G2258 Being G907 baptized, G4342 he continued G5376 with Philip. G5037 G2334 Seeing G3173 G4592 signs G5037 and G1411 great miracles G1096 occurring, G1839 he was amazed.

14 G1161 Now when G652 the apostles G3588 who were G1722 at G2414 Jerusalem G191 heard G3754 that G4540 Samaria G1209 had received G3056 the word G2316 of God, G649 they sent G4074 Peter G2532 and G2491 John G4314 to G846 them,

15 G3748 who, G2597 when they had come down, G4336 prayed G4012 for G846 them, G3704 that G2983 they might receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit;

16 G1063 for G3768 as yet G2258 he had G1968 fallen G1909 on G3762 none G1161 of them. G3440 They had only G5225 been G907 baptized G1519 in G3686 the name G2962 of Christ G2424 Jesus.

17 G5119 Then G2007 they G5495 laid their hands G1909 on G846 them, G2532 and G2983 they received G4151 the Holy G40 Spirit.

18 G1161 Now G4613 when Simon G2300 saw G3754 that G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit G1325 was given G1223 through G1936 the laying on G652 of the apostles' G5495 hands, G4374 he offered G846 them G5536 money,

19 G3004 saying, G1325 "Give me G2504 also G3778 this G1849 power, G2443 that G302 G3739 whomever G2007 I lay G5495 my hands G2983 on may receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit."

20 G1161 But G4074 Peter G2036 said G4314 to G846 him, G4675 "May your G694 silver G1519 G684 perish G4862 with G4671 you, G3754 because G4671 you G3543 thought G2932 you could obtain G1431 the gift G2316 of God G5536 with money!

21 G4671 You G2076 have G3756 neither G3310 part G3761 nor G2819 lot G1722 in G5129 this G3056 matter, G1063 for G4675 your G2588 heart G2076 isn't G3756 G2117 right G1799 before G2316 God.

22 G3340 Repent G3767 therefore G575 of G3778 this, G4675 your G2549 wickedness, G2532 and G1189 ask G2316 God G1487 if G686 perhaps G1963 the thought G4675 of your G2588 heart G863 may be forgiven G4671 you.

23 G1063 For G3708 I see G4571 that you G5607 are G1519 in G5521 the gall G4088 of bitterness G2532 and G4886 in the bondage G93 of iniquity."

24 G1161 G4613 Simon G611 answered, G2036 G1189 "Pray G5210 G5228 for G1700 me G4314 to G2962 the Lord, G3704 that G3367 none of the things G3739 which G2046 you have spoken G1904 happen G1909 to G1691 me."

25 G3767 G3588 They G3303 therefore, G1263 when they had testified G3767 and G2980 spoken G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord, G5290 returned G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem, G5037 and G2097 preached the Good News G4183 to many G2968 villages G4541 of the Samaritans.

26 G1161 But G32 an angel G2962 of the Lord G2980 spoke G4314 to G5376 Philip, G3004 saying, G450 "Arise, G2532 and G4198 go G2596 toward G3314 the south G1909 to G3598 the way G3588 that G2597 goes down G575 from G2419 Jerusalem G1519 to G1048 Gaza. G3778 This G2076 is G2048 a desert."

27 G2532 He G450 arose G4198 and went; G2532 and G2400 behold, G435 there was a man G128 of Ethiopia, G2135 a eunuch G1413 of great authority G2582 under Candace, G938 queen G128 of the Ethiopians, G3739 who G2258 was G1909 over G3956 all G846 her G1047 treasure, G3739 who G2064 had come G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G4352 to worship.

28 G5037 He G2258 was G5290 returning G2532 and G2521 sitting G1909 in G846 his G716 chariot, G2532 and G314 was reading G4396 the prophet G2268 Isaiah.

29 G1161 The G4151 Spirit G2036 said G5376 to Philip, G4334 "Go near, G2532 and G2853 join yourself G5129 to this G716 chariot."

30 G1161 G5376 Philip G4370 ran to G191 him, and heard G846 him G314 reading G2268 Isaiah G4396 the prophet, G2532 and G1065 said, G1097 "Do you G3739 understand what G314 you are reading?"

31 G1161 He G1063 said, G4459 "How G302 G302 can I, G1437 unless G3361 G5100 someone G1410 explains it G3165 to me?" G3870 He begged G5376 Philip G305 to come up G5037 and G2523 sit G4862 with G846 him.

32 G4042 Now the passage G1124 of the Scripture G3739 which G314 he was reading G2258 was G3778 this, G71 "He was led G5613 as G4263 a sheep G1909 to G4967 the slaughter. G2532 G5613 As G286 a lamb G1726 before G846 his G2751 shearer G880 is silent, G3779 so G455 he G3756 doesn't G846 open his G4750 mouth.

33 G1722 In G846 his G5014 humiliation, G846 his G2920 judgment G142 was taken away. G1161 G5101 Who G1334 will declare G846 His G1074 generation? G3754 For G846 his G2222 life G142 is taken G575 from G1093 the earth."

34 G1161 The G2135 eunuch G611 answered G5376 Philip, G2036 G1189 G4675 G5101 "Who G4396 is the prophet G3004 talking G4012 about? G4012 About G1438 himself, G2228 or G4012 about G5100 someone G2087 else?"

35 G1161 G5376 Philip G455 opened G846 his G4750 mouth, G2532 and G756 beginning G575 from G1124 this Scripture, G2097 preached G846 to him G2424 Jesus.

36 G1161 G5613 As G4198 they went G2596 on G3598 the way, G2064 they came G1909 to G5100 some G5204 water, G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G5346 said, G2400 "Behold, G5204 here is water. G5101 What G2967 is keeping G3165 me G907 from being baptized?"

38 G2532 He G2753 commanded G716 the chariot G2476 to stand still, G2532 and G297 they both G2597 went down G1519 into G5204 the water, G5037 both G5376 Philip G2532 and G2135 the eunuch, G2532 and G907 he baptized G846 him.

39 G3753 When G305 they came up G1537 out of G5204 the water, G4151 the Spirit G2962 of the Lord G5376 caught Philip G726 away, G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G3756 didn't G1492 see G846 him G3765 any more, G4198 for he went G846 on his G3598 way G5463 rejoicing.

40 G1161 But G5376 Philip G2147 was found G1519 at G108 Azotus. G2532 G1330 Passing through, G2097 he preached G3956 the Good News to all G4172 the cities, G2193 until G846 he G2064 came G1519 to G2542 Caesarea.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the church which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles. ² Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him. ³ But Saul ravaged the church, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison. ⁴ Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word. ⁵ And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ. ⁶ The crowds listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ There was great joy in that city. 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. ¹³ Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; ¹⁶ for he had not yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money. ²¹ You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. ²² Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask the Lord if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity." ²⁴ Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me." ²⁵ They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert." ²⁷ And he arose and went. And look, there was a man from Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Kandake, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge over all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and he was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go and join up with that chariot.” ³⁰ And running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” ³¹ He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation his justice was taken away. Who will declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth." ³⁴ The eunuch answered Philip, "Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?" ³⁵ Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus. ³⁶ As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?" ³⁷ And he said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” ³⁸ 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 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. ³ As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. ⁴ Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. ⁵ Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them. ⁶ And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: ¹⁰ To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John: ¹⁵ Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: ¹⁶ (For as yet he was fallen on none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ You have neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. ²⁴ Then answered Simon, and said, Pray you to the LORD for me, that none of these things which you have spoken come on me. ²⁵ And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, ²⁸ Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understand you what you read? ³¹ And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. ³² The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what does hinder me to be baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

1 G4569 And Saul G4909 was consenting G336 to his death. G1722 And at G2250 that time G3173 there was a great G1375 persecution G1909 against G1577 the church G3588 which G1722 was at G2414 Jerusalem; G3956 and they were all G1289 scattered G1289 abroad G2596 throughout G5561 the regions G2449 of Judaea G4540 and Samaria, G4133 except G652 the apostles.

2 G2126 And devout G435 men G4792 carried G4736 Stephen G4160 to his burial, and made G3173 great G2870 lamentation G1909 over him.

3 G4569 As for Saul, G3075 he made havoc G1577 of the church, G1531 entering G1531 into G2596 every G3624 house, G4951 and haling G435 men G1135 and women G3860 committed G5438 them to prison.

4 G3767 Therefore G1289 they that were scattered G1289 abroad G1330 went G1330 every G1330 where G2097 preaching G3056 the word.

5 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G2718 went G2718 down G4172 to the city G4540 of Samaria, G2784 and preached G5547 Christ to them.

6 G3793 And the people G3661 with one G3661 accord G4337 gave G4337 heed G3588 to those G5376 things which Philip G3004 spoke, G191 hearing G991 and seeing G4592 the miracles G4160 which he did.

7 G169 For unclean G4151 spirits, G994 crying G3173 with loud G5456 voice, G1831 came G4183 out of many G2192 that were possessed G4183 with them: and many G3886 taken with palsies, G5560 and that were lame, G2323 were healed.

8 G3173 And there was great G5479 joy G4172 in that city.

9 G5100 But there was a certain G435 man, G3686 called G4613 Simon, G4391 which beforetime G4172 in the same city G3096 used G3096 sorcery, G1839 and bewitched G1484 the people G4540 of Samaria, G3004 giving G1438 out that himself G5100 was some G3173 great one:

10 G3739 To whom G3956 they all G4337 gave G4337 heed, G3398 from the least G3173 to the greatest, G3004 saying, G3778 This G3173 man is the great G1411 power G2316 of God.

11 G4337 And to him they had regard, G1223 because G2425 that of long G5550 time G1839 he had bewitched G3095 them with sorceries.

12 G3753 But when G4100 they believed G5376 Philip G2097 preaching G4012 the things concerning G932 the kingdom G2316 of God, G3686 and the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ, G907 they were baptized, G5037 both G435 men G1135 and women.

13 G1161 Then G4613 Simon G846 himself G4100 believed G2532 also: G907 and when he was baptized, G4342 he continued G5376 with Philip, G1839 and wondered, G2334 beholding G1411 the miracles G4592 and signs G1096 which were done.

14 G1161 Now G652 when the apostles G3588 which G1722 were at G2414 Jerusalem G191 heard G4540 that Samaria G1209 had received G3056 the word G2316 of God, G649 they sent G4074 to them Peter G2491 and John:

15 G3748 Who, G2597 when they were come G2597 down, G4336 prayed G2983 for them, that they might receive G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost:

16 G3768 (For as yet G1968 he was fallen G3762 on none G3440 of them: only G907 they were baptized G3686 in the name G2962 of the Lord G2424 Jesus.)

17 G5119 Then G2007 laid G5495 they their hands G1909 on G2983 them, and they received G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost.

18 G4613 And when Simon G2300 saw G1223 that through G1936 laying G1936 on G652 of the apostles’ G5495 hands G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost G1325 was given, G4374 he offered G5536 them money,

19 G3004 Saying, G1325 Give G2504 me also G5026 this G1849 power, G2007 that on G3739 whomsoever G302 G2007 I lay G5495 hands, G2983 he may receive G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost.

20 G4074 But Peter G2036 said G694 to him, Your money G1510 perish G3754 with you, because G3543 you have thought G1431 that the gift G2316 of God G2932 may be purchased G5536 with money.

21 G2076 You have G3756 neither G3310 part G3761 nor G2819 lot G5129 in this G3056 matter: G2588 for your heart G2117 is not right G1799 in the sight G2316 of God.

22 G3340 Repent G3767 therefore G5026 of this G2549 your wickedness, G1189 and pray G2316 God, G1487 if G686 perhaps G1963 the thought G4671 of your G2588 heart G863 may be forgiven you.

23 G3708 For I perceive G5521 that you are in the gall G4088 of bitterness, G4886 and in the bond G93 of iniquity.

24 G1161 Then G611 answered G4613 Simon, G2036 and said, G1189 Pray G2962 you to the LORD G3367 for me, that none G3739 of these things which G2046 you have spoken G1904 come on me.

25 G1263 And they, when they had testified G2980 and preached G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord, G5290 returned G2419 to Jerusalem, G2097 and preached G2097 the gospel G4183 in many G2968 villages G4541 of the Samaritans.

26 G32 And the angel G2962 of the Lord G2980 spoke G5376 to Philip, G3004 saying, G450 Arise, G4198 and go G2596 toward G3314 the south G3598 to the way G3597 that goes G2597 down G2419 from Jerusalem G1048 to Gaza, G3778 which G2048 is desert.

27 G450 And he arose G4198 and went: G2400 and, behold, G435 a man G128 of Ethiopia, G2135 an eunuch G1413 of great authority G2582 under Candace G938 queen G128 of the Ethiopians, G3739 who G1909 had the charge G3956 of all G1047 her treasure, G2064 and had come G2419 to Jerusalem G4352 for to worship,

28 G5290 Was returning, G2521 and sitting G716 in his chariot G314 read G2268 Esaias G4396 the prophet.

29 G1161 Then G4151 the Spirit G2036 said G5376 to Philip, G4334 Go G4334 near, G2853 and join G5129 yourself to this G716 chariot.

30 G5376 And Philip G4370 ran G4370 thither G191 to him, and heard G314 him read G4396 the prophet G2268 Esaias, G2036 and said, G1097 Understand G3739 you what G314 you read?

31 G2036 And he said, G4459 How G1410 can G3362 I, except G5100 some G3594 man should guide G3870 me? And he desired G5376 Philip G305 that he would come G2523 up and sit with him.

32 G4042 The place G1124 of the scripture G314 which he read G3778 was this, G71 He was led G4263 as a sheep G4967 to the slaughter; G5613 and like G286 a lamb G880 dumb G1726 before G2751 his shearer, G3779 so G455 opened G4750 he not his mouth:

33 G5014 In his humiliation G2920 his judgment G142 was taken G5101 away: and who G1334 shall declare G1074 his generation? G2222 for his life G142 is taken G1093 from the earth.

34 G2135 And the eunuch G611 answered G5376 Philip, G2036 and said, G1189 I pray G5101 you, of whom G3004 speaks G4396 the prophet G5124 this? G1438 of himself, G2228 or G5100 of some G2087 other man?

35 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G455 opened G4750 his mouth, G756 and began G575 at G5026 the same G1124 scripture, G2097 and preached G2424 to him Jesus.

36 G4198 And as they went G2596 on G3598 their way, G2064 they came G5100 to a certain G5204 water: G2135 and the eunuch G5346 said, G2400 See, G5204 here is water; G5101 what G2967 does hinder G907 me to be baptized?

37 G5376 And Philip G2036 said, G1487 If G4100 you believe G3650 with all G3588 your G2588 heart, G1832 you may. G611 And he answered G2036 and said, G4100 I believe G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G5207 is the Son G2316 of God.

38 G2753 And he commanded G716 the chariot G2476 to stand G2476 still: G2597 and they went G2597 down G297 both G1519 into G5204 the water, G5037 both G5376 Philip G2135 and the eunuch; G907 and he baptized him.

39 G3753 And when G305 they were come G5204 up out of the water, G4151 the Spirit G2962 of the Lord G726 caught G726 away G5376 Philip, G2135 that the eunuch G1492 saw G3765 him no G3765 more: G4198 and he went G3598 on his way G5463 rejoicing.

40 G5376 But Philip G2147 was found G1519 at G108 Azotus: G1330 and passing G1223 through G2097 he preached G3956 in all G4172 the cities, G2193 till G2064 he came G2542 to Caesarea.

1 G1161 And G4569 Saul G2258 was G4909 consenting to G846 his G336 death. G1161 And G1722 at G1565 that G2250 time G1096 there was G3173 a great G1375 persecution G1909 against G1577 the church G3588 which was G1722 at G2414 Jerusalem; G5037 and G1289 they were G3956 all G1289 scattered abroad G2596 throughout G5561 the regions G2449 of Judæa G2532 and G4540 Samaria, G4133 except G652 the apostles.

2 G1161 And G2126 devout G435 men G4792 carried G4736 Stephen G2532 to his burial, and G4160 made G3173 great G2870 lamentation G1909 over G846 him.

3 G1161 As G4569 for Saul, G3075 he made havoc G1577 of the church, G1531 entering into G2596 every G3624 house, G5037 and G4951 dragging G435 men G2532 and G1135 women G3860 committing G1519 them to G5438 prison.

4 G3767 Therefore G3303 G3588 they G1289 that were scattered abroad G1330 went every where G2097 preaching G3056 the word.

5 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G2718 went down G1519 to G4172 the city G4540 of Samaria, G2784 and preached G5547 Christ G846 to them.

6 G5037 And G3793 the people G3661 with one accord G4337 gave care G5259 to G3588 those things G3004 which G5376 Philip G3004 spoke, G191 hearing G846 G2532 and G991 seeing G4592 the miracles G3739 which G4160 he did.

7 G1063 For G169 unclean G4151 spirits, G994 crying G3173 with loud G5456 voice, G1831 came out G4183 of many G2192 that were possessed G1161 with them: and G4183 many G3886 taken with palsies, G2532 and G2323 that were G5560 lame, G2323 were healed.

8 G2532 And G1096 there was G3173 great G5479 joy G1722 in G1565 that G4172 city.

9 G1161 But there was G5100 a certain G435 man, G3686 called G4613 Simon, G4391 which previously G1722 in G4172 the same city G3096 used sorcery, G2532 and G1839 bewitched G1484 the people G4540 of Samaria, G3004 giving out that G1438 he G1511 was G5100 some G3173 great one:

10 G3739 To whom G3956 they all G4337 gave respect, G575 from G3398 the least G2193 to G3173 the greatest, G3004 saying, G3778 This man G2076 is G3173 the great G1411 power G2316 of God.

11 G1161 And G846 to him G4337 they had regard, G1223 because for G2425 a long G5550 time G1839 he had bewitched G846 them G3095 with sorceries.

12 G1161 But G3753 when G4100 they believed G5376 Philip G2097 preaching G3588 the things G4012 concerning G932 the kingdom G2316 of God, G2532 and G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ, G907 they were baptized, G5037 both G435 men G2532 and G1135 women.

13 G1161 Then G4613 Simon G846 himself G4100 believed G2532 also: G2532 and G2258 when he was G907 baptized, G4342 he continued G5376 with Philip, G5037 and G1839 wondered, G2334 beholding G3173 G1411 the miracles G2532 and G4592 signs G1096 which were done.

14 G1161 Now when G652 the apostles G3588 which were G1722 at G2414 Jerusalem G191 heard G3754 that G4540 Samaria G1209 had received G3056 the word G2316 of God, G649 they sent G4314 to G846 them G4074 Peter G2532 and G2491 John:

15 G3748 Who, G2597 when they were come down, G4336 prayed G4012 for G846 them, G3704 that G2983 they might receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit:

16 G1063 (For G3768 as yet G2258 he had G1968 fallen G1909 upon G3762 none G1161 of them: G3440 only G5225 they were G907 baptized G1519 in G3686 the name G2962 of the Lord G2424 Jesus.)

17 G5119 Then G2007 laid they G5495 their hands G1909 on G846 them, G2532 and G2983 they received G4151 the Holy G40 Spirit.

18 G1161 And G4613 when Simon G2300 saw G3754 that G1223 through G1936 laying on G652 of the apostles' G5495 hands G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit G1325 was given, G4374 he offered G846 them G5536 money,

19 G3004 Saying, G1325 Give me G2504 also G3778 this G1849 power, G2443 that G302 G3739 on whomever G2007 I lay G5495 hands, G2983 he may receive G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

20 G1161 But G4074 Peter G2036 said G4314 to G846 him, G4675 Your G694 money G1519 G684 perish G4862 with G4671 you, G3754 because G3543 you have thought G1223 that G1431 the gift G2316 of God G2932 may be purchased G5536 with money.

21 G4671 You G2076 have G3756 neither G3310 part G3761 nor G2819 lot G1722 in G5129 this G3056 matter: G1063 for G4675 your G2588 heart G2076 is G3756 not G2117 right G1799 in the sight of G2316 God.

22 G3340 Repent G3767 therefore G575 of G3778 this G4675 your G2549 wickedness, G2532 and G1189 pray G2316 God, G1487 if G686 perhaps G1963 the thought G4675 of your G2588 heart G863 may be forgiven G4671 you.

23 G1063 For G3708 I perceive G4571 that you G5607 are G1519 in G5521 the gall G4088 of bitterness, G2532 and G4886 in the bond G93 of iniquity.

24 G1161 Then G611 answered G4613 Simon, G2036 and said, G1189 Pray G5210 you G4314 to G2962 the Lord G5228 for G1700 me, G3704 that G3367 none of these things G3739 which G2046 you have spoken G1904 come G1909 upon G1691 me.

25 G3767 And G3303 G3588 they, G1263 when they had testified G2532 and G2980 preached G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord, G5290 returned G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem, G5037 and G2097 preached the gospel G4183 in many G2968 villages G4541 of the Samaritans.

26 G1161 And G32 the angel G2962 of the Lord G2980 spoke G4314 to G5376 Philip, G3004 saying, G450 Arise, G2532 and G4198 go G2596 toward G3314 the south G1909 to G3598 the way G3588 that G2597 goes down G575 from G2419 Jerusalem G1519 to G1048 Gaza, G3778 which G2076 is G2048 desert.

27 G2532 And G450 he arose G4198 and went: G2532 and, G2400 behold, G435 a man G128 of Ethiopia, G2135 a eunuch G1413 of great authority G2582 under Candace G938 queen G128 of the Ethiopians, G3739 who G2258 had G1909 the charge of G3956 all G846 her G3739 G1047 treasure, G2064 and had come G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem G4352 to worship,

28 G2258 Was G5037 G5290 returning, G2532 and G2521 sitting G1909 in G846 his G716 chariot, G2532 G314 reading G2268 Isaiah G4396 the prophet.

29 G1161 Then G4151 the Spirit G2036 said G5376 to Philip, G4334 Go near, G2532 and G2853 join yourself G5129 to this G716 chariot.

30 G1161 And G5376 Philip G4370 ran there G191 to him, and heard G846 him G314 read G4396 the prophet G2268 Isaiah, G2532 and G1065 said, G1097 Do you G3739 understand what G314 you read?

31 G1161 And G1063 he said, G4459 How G302 G1410 can I, G1437 except G3361 G5100 some man G3594 should guide G3165 me? G5037 And G3870 he begged G5376 Philip G305 to come up G2523 and sit G4862 with G846 him.

32 G4042 The place G1124 of the scripture G3739 which G314 he read G2258 was G3778 this, G71 He was led G5613 as G4263 a sheep G1909 to G4967 the slaughter; G2532 and G5613 like G286 a lamb G880 mute G1726 before G846 his G2751 shearer, G3779 so G455 opened he G3756 not G846 his G4750 mouth:

33 G1722 In G846 his G5014 humiliation G846 his G2920 judgment G142 was taken away: G1161 and G5101 who G1334 shall declare G846 his G1074 generation? G3754 For G846 his G2222 life G142 is taken G575 from G1093 the earth.

34 G1161 And G2135 the eunuch G611 answered G5376 Philip, G2036 and said, G1189 I ask G4675 you, G4012 of G5101 whom G3004 speaks G4396 the prophet G5124 about this? G4012 Of G1438 himself, G2228 or G4012 of G5100 some G2087 other man?

35 G1161 Then G5376 Philip G455 opened G846 his G4750 mouth, G2532 and G756 began G575 at G3778 the same G1124 scripture, G2097 and preached G846 to him G2424 Jesus.

36 G1161 And G5613 as G4198 they went G2596 on G3598 their way, G2064 they came G1909 to G5100 some G5204 water: G2532 and G2135 the eunuch G5346 said, G2400 See, G5204 here is water; G5101 what G2967 prevents G3165 me G907 from being baptized?

37 G1161 And G5376 Philip G2036 said, G1487 If G4100 you believe G1537 with G3650 all G2588 your heart, G1832 you may. G611 And he answered G1161 and G2036 said, G4100 I believe G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G1511 is G5207 the Son G2316 of God.

38 G2532 And G2753 he commanded G716 the chariot G2476 to stand still: G2532 and G2597 they went down G297 both G1519 into G5204 the water, G5037 both G5376 Philip G2532 and G2135 the eunuch; G2532 and G907 he baptized G846 him.

39 G1161 And G3753 when G305 they had come up G1537 out of G5204 the water, G4151 the Spirit G2962 of the Lord G726 caught away G5376 Philip, G2532 that G2135 the eunuch G3756 G1492 saw G846 him G3765 no more: G1063 and G4198 he went G846 on his G3598 way G5463 rejoicing.

40 G1161 But G5376 Philip G2147 was found G1519 at G108 Azotus: G2532 and G1330 passing through G2097 he preached G3956 in all G4172 the cities, G2193 until G846 he G2064 came G1519 to G2542 Cæsarea.

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles; ² and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him; ³ and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison; ⁴ they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news -- the word. ⁵ And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ, ⁶ the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing, ⁷ for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed, ⁸ and there was great joy in that city. ⁹ And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one, ¹⁰ to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;' ¹¹ and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic. ¹² And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women; ¹³ and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed. ¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, -- ¹⁶ for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus; ¹⁷ then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money, ¹⁹ saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.' ²⁰ And Peter said unto him, 'Your silver with you -- may it be to destruction! because the gift of God you did think to possess through money; ²¹ you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God; ²² reform, therefore, from this your wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you, ²³ for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.' ²⁴ And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech you for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things you have spoken.' ²⁵ They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news. ²⁶ And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' -- this is desert. ²⁷ And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem; ²⁸ he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;' ³⁰ and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Do you then know what you do read?' ³¹ and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him. ³² And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he does not open his mouth; ³³ in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation -- who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.' ³⁴ And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray you, about whom does the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?' ³⁵ and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him -- Jesus. ³⁶ And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what does hinder me to be baptized?' ³⁷ And Philip said, 'If you do believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;' ³⁸ and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him; ³⁹ 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 was going on his way rejoicing; ⁴⁰ and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} which was at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation over him. ³ As for Saul, he made havoc of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}; entering into the houses and dragging out men and women, he committed them to prison. ⁴ ¶ But those that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word of the gospel. ⁵ Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached the Christ unto them. ⁶ And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the signs which he did. ⁷ For many unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of those who were possessed with them, and many paralytics and that were lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But there was a certain man called Simon, who before this in the same city used magic arts and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that he himself was some great one, ¹⁰ to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This is the great virtue of God. ¹¹ And to him they had regard because for a long time he had amazed them with magic arts. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself believed also; and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were being done. ¹⁴ ¶ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John unto them, ¹⁵ who, when they were come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them; they were baptized only in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness and pray God, if perhaps this thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the prison of iniquity. ²⁴ Then Simon answered and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. ²⁵ And they, when they had testified and preached the word of God, returned to Jerusalem and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ ¶ And the angel of the Lord spoke unto Philip, saying, Arise and go toward the south unto the way that goes down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ Then he arose and went, and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ was returning and sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip ran there to him and heard him read the prophet Isaiah and said, Dost thou understand what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, except someone should guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth; ³³ in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip and said, I pray thee, of whom does the prophet speak this? of himself or of some other? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him the gospel of Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what hinders me to be baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou dost believe with all thine heart, thou may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they went both down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, so that the eunuch saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Saul was agreeing with them in his murder. And in that day there arose a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they all were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And godly men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul was doing injury to the church, going in from house to house, and dragging away both men and women, and committing them to prison. ⁴ Therefore those who were scattered went about preaching the good news of the word. ⁵ And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ. ⁶ And the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the signs which he was doing. ⁷ For many of the ones having unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, they came out; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ Now a certain man named Simon was previously in the city practicing magic and astounding the people of Samaria, claiming himself to be someone great, ¹⁰ to whom they gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the great power of God." ¹¹ But they gave heed to him because of the long time that he had astonished them with the magic arts. ¹² But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Then Simon himself also believed; and having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, and observing miracles and signs occurring, he was astounded. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who, coming down, prayed concerning them in order that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For He had not yet fallen upon any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon observed that by the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Give me this power also, that on whom ever I lay my hands he may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought to acquire the gift of God through money! ²¹ You have neither part nor portion in this word, for your heart is not straight before God. ²² Repent therefore from this your wickedness, and make petition to God, if perhaps the intent of your heart will be forgiven you. ²³ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of unrighteousness." ²⁴ Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me." ²⁵ Then solemnly bearing witness to and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Get up and go toward the south on the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is desolate. ²⁷ And arising, he went; and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a court official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem worshipping, ²⁸ and he was returning. And sitting upon his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near, and join yourself to this chariot." ³⁰ And Phillip, running up to it, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Indeed, do you know what you are reading?" ³¹ And he said, "How can I, if not someone guides me?" And he urged Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² Now the portion of the Scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, thus He opened not His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation His justice was taken away, and who will recount His generation? For His life is taken away from the earth." ³⁴ So the eunuch answered Philip and said, "I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this; about himself, or about some other person?" ³⁵ And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached the good news about Jesus to him. ³⁶ Now as they were going down the road, they came upon some water. And the eunuch said, "Behold, here is water: what prevents me from being baptized?" ³⁷ (OMITTED TEXT) ³⁸ And he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, both Phillip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip, and the eunuch did not see him any longer; and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus. And going through, he preached the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ At that time a major persecution arose against the church that was in Jerusalem, so all, except the Apostles, were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria. ² (Devout men had buried Stephen and made a great lamentation over him.) ³ As for Saul, he was trying to destroy the Church; invading house after house and dragging away both men and women, he was putting them in prison. ⁴ So on their part those who were scattered abroad went about preaching the Word. ⁵ Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria, was proclaiming the Christ to them; ⁶ and the crowds gave heed with one accord to what Philip was saying, as they heard the words and saw the signs that he kept performing. ⁷ Because unclean spirits came out screaming from many who had them, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ Yes, there was great joy in that city! ⁹ Now a certain man named Simon was in the city first, practicing sorcery and astounding the people of Samaria, affirming himself to be someone great, ¹⁰ to whom they used to pay attention, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” ¹¹ They listened to him because he had amazed them with his sorceries for a long time. ¹² But, when they believed Philip, as he proclaimed the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name, Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Even Simon himself believed, and having been baptized he stayed right with Philip; observing miracles and signs occurring, he was amazed. ¹⁴ Now when the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who upon coming down prayed about them, so that they might receive Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ because He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized into the name of Jesus, the Christ. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them and they received Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Well, upon observing that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the Apostles’ hands, Simon offered them money ¹⁹ saying, “Give this power to me also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive Holy Spirit.” ²⁰ But Peter said to him: “May your silver go with you into perdition, for thinking that the gift of God could be acquired with money! ²¹ You have neither part nor portion in this matter, because your heart is not right before God. ²² Turn away therefore from this your wickedness and make petition to God, in case the intent of your heart may be forgiven you; ²³ for I see you being into a gall of bitterness and a fetter of unrighteousness.” ²⁴ So in answer Simon said, “You make petition to the Lord on my behalf, so that nothing of what you have spoken may come upon me.” ²⁵ So when they had both thoroughly testified and spoken the word of the Lord they returned to Jerusalem; they also evangelized many Samaritan villages. ²⁶ Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza; it is desolate.” ²⁷ So he got up and went; and there, a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court-official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, who had come worshipping to Jerusalem ²⁸ —he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go forward and join this chariot.” ³⁰ So running up Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you really understand what you are reading?” ³¹ So he said, “Well how can I, unless someone guides me?” And he urged Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² Now the portion of the Scripture that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He does not open His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation His justice was removed, and who will recount His generation? Because His life is removed from the earth.” ³⁴ So continuing the eunuch said to Philip, “I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” ³⁵ So opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, Philip preached Jesus to him. ³⁶ Now as they were going down the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch said: “Look, water! What is keeping me from being baptized?” ³⁷ - - - ³⁸ So he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ Now when they came up out of the water, Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, because he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ Philip was found at Azotus, and as he passed through he evangelized all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now on that day great persecution, pursuit and [D adds: pressure] was birthed (occurred) upon the called-out community [that was] within Jerusalem, so they were all – except for the sent-forth emissaries (representatives) [D*& 1175 add: who alone remained in Jerusalem] – dispersed and scattered as seeds down among the regions (or: territories) of Judea and Samaria. ² So cautious but respected men joined together and collected Stephen and carried [him] in to be prepared for burial, and then they made a great lamentation (grieving and beating the chest) upon him (= at his situation and the loss of him). ³ Now Saul began devastating then continued laying waste and bringing havoc to the called-out community, repeatedly making his way into and invading one house after another. Constantly dragging away and pulling along both men and women by force, he routinely handed [them] over into prison (or: jail). ⁴ Nonetheless, those being scattered and dispersed went throughout, from place to place, progressively bringing the Word as good news, and announcing the message of goodness [which was] the Logos. ⁵ Now Philip, upon going down into the city of Samaria, continued publicly proclaiming to them the Christ (the Anointed One; = the Messiah). ⁶ And the crowds, with one accord and like-passion, continued attentively holding to [themselves and their minds] the things being progressively spoken by Philip, at hearing them, and then [with] repeatedly seeing (looking at; observing) the signs which he kept on doing (or: performing; producing). ⁷ You see, many of the folks habitually having unclean breath-effects (unsifted spirits; unpruned attitudes) kept on crying out, then shouting for joy, with a loud voice, [as] they [i.e., the spirits], one after another, were coming (or: going) out. Now many folks – being people having been paralyzed, as well as lame ones – were cured and healed. ⁸ So, much joy was birthed (or: a great deal of happiness came to be) within that city. ⁹ Now a certain man named Simon had been previously subsisting in the city [by] habitually practicing magic (or: using sorcery) and repeatedly amazing the nation (or: ethnic group) of Samaria, constantly saying [of] and presenting himself to be someone great (= important) [note: such folks were often considered spiritual advisors, and may have had an official position], ¹⁰ to whom everyone, from small to great (= from the unimportant to the very important), kept on attentively holding [themselves] and giving heed, one after another saying, "This man is normally being called God's Great Power (or: This one continuously exists being God's Power – that usually termed Great One)!" ¹¹ So they kept on heeding and holding themselves focused to him due to the considerable time [he had] to have been displacing [things] and amazing them by the magical acts (or: with [his] magic). ¹² But when they came to trust and then believed – by Philip progressively bringing and declaring the good news of ease and well-being pertaining to the reign and kingdom of God, and [about] the name of Jesus Christ (or: Jesus [the] Anointed One) – they were being from time to time, and one after another, immersed (or: baptized): both men and women. ¹³ So Simon himself also trusted and came to believe, and then, after being immersed (or: baptized), he was constantly attached to Philip (or: habitually persistent at standing by waiting and ready to assist Philip) and continued amazed and moved out of his position while continually watching and observing both signs and great powers (or: abilities; or: may = works and deeds of power) continually happening (or: one after another being birthed into existence). ¹⁴ Now upon hearing that [the regions of] Samaria had welcomely received, accepted and taken to themselves the Word (Logos; Idea; message) of God, the sent-forth folks (emissaries and representatives) in Jerusalem sent off Peter and John on a mission to them, ¹⁵ who, after walking down, spoke goodness concerning (or: prayed about) them, so that they could receive a set-apart Breath-effect (or: in what manner and by what means they would take hold of [the] Holy Spirit), ¹⁶ for you see, it (or: It; He) had not yet fallen upon even one of them, yet, only being folks having been immersed, they were continually subsisting and were progressing from under that beginning into the Name of the Lord Jesus (or: they continued being a possession, progressing into the Name, which is the Owner, Jesus; or: Now only having been baptized, in making a beginning they continued belonging unto the Name which pertains to the Master: Jesus). ¹⁷ At that time they began placing (or: laying) [their] hands upon them, and so, one after another, they began receiving a set-apart Breath-effect (or: [the] Holy Spirit; a sacred attitude). ¹⁸ Now Simon, upon seeing that the [p45, A & other MSS add: set-apart (or: Holy)] Breath-effect (or: Spirit; Attitude; Breath) is repeatedly being given through the placing or laying on (or: the imposition) of the hands of the sent-forth folks (the emissaries or representatives), he brought (or: offered) useful things (or: money; properties) to them, ¹⁹ repeatedly saying, "Give at once also to me this authority and right, so that on whomever I also should place [my] hands he may receive a set-apart breath-effect (or: [the] Holy Spirit)!" ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "Your silver might (or: could) continue being with [you, as you yourself progress on the path] into loss or destruction, seeing that you suppose and presume from custom to proceed to obtain and acquire God's free gift (or: gratuity) through useful things (or: money; properties; = by buying it). ²¹ "There is neither a part nor a lot for you within this Word (or: this idea; this reason; this expressed verbal communication; or: this message; or: this matter). You see, your heart is not straight and level with a position answering to God (or: in front of God, in His presence). ²² "So change your mind and your way of thinking – away from this worthlessness (or: ugliness; baseness; badness of quality; malice) of yours – and then at once urgently ask of the Lord [= Christ or Yahweh] if consequently (or: since in that case) the thought and purpose of your heart will be caused to flow away (or: will be divorced from [you]; will be forgiven and sent away), ²³ "For you see, I am presently seeing you existing (continuously being) [drawn] into [the] bile (or: gall) of bitterness as well as a close joint-bond of injustice (inequity and unfairness; that which is not in right relationship and contrary to the Way pointed out)." ²⁴ So, making a decided response, Simon said to them, "I am now asking for help: would you men at once urgently make a request over me (or: on my behalf; for my situation; [D: concerning me]) to the Lord [= Christ or Yahweh; D reads: God] so that not even one of the things which you have said can (or: would) come upon me?" [D adds: – {He} could not cease shedding many tears.] ²⁵ Therefore, after indeed fully giving evidence (thoroughly witnessing and certifying) and speaking the Word of the Lord (or: = Yahweh's thoughts and ideas; = the message about Christ [p74, A & others read: God]), these men began returning unto Jerusalem, also repeatedly bringing the good news and announcing the message of goodness, ease and well-being [to] many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ However, an agent of [the] Lord [= Yahweh's or Christ's messenger] spoke to Philip, presently saying, "At once arise (or: stand up) and continue traveling down south (or: at noon) on the road descending from Jerusalem unto Gaza." This is a desert (or: desolate, uninhabited) [road]. ²⁷ And so, upon arising, he went his way and – look, consider this – an adult man – an Ethiopian eunuch who had power (= a high court official) of [the] Kandake, [or] Queen, of [the] Ethiopians, who was upon (= had control of) all of her treasury – who had come unto Jerusalem in order to be worshiping. ²⁸ Now he was in the midst of returning and was presently sitting on his chariot (or: carriage) while continuing in reading aloud the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Now the Breath-effect (or: Spirit) said to Philip, "Approach and be joined (glued) to this chariot." ³⁰ So upon running up to [it], Philip heard his reading aloud [of] Isaiah the prophet, and then he said, "Are you presently recognizing and progressively understanding [the] things which you are now reading?" ³¹ But he replied, "Actually, how would I likely be presently able [to], unless someone will progressively lead and guide me on the path?" And so he asked Philip to assist [him], after climbing up to sit with him. ³² Now the passage (context) of the Scripture which he was reading was this: "As (or: Like) a sheep, He was led onto [the] slaughter, and as (or: like) a lamb [that is] set in position against the person shearing it [is] without a voice (or: mute; voiceless; = silent), in like manner He continues not to open up His mouth. ³³ "Within the midst of the low status and the experience of being abased and humiliated, His justice (either: the opportunity for a fair trial; or: the chance or ability to divide, separate and make decisions; or: the judging) was lifted up and taken away. So who will continue fully taking over the lead of His generation (or: will proceed conducting a thorough narration to recount His generation), because His life is now being taken up, away from the earth (or: taken away from the Land)?" [Isa. 53:7-8] ³⁴ So the eunuch, making a discerning response, said to Philip, "Now my question to you is, About whom is the prophet now saying this – about himself, or about someone else?" ³⁵ Well Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, presents to him Jesus, as the news of goodness, ease and well-being (or: declared to him the good news about Jesus). ³⁶ So as they continued going their way down the road, they came upon some water, and the eunuch affirms, "Look! Water! What continues preventing (hindering) me to be at once immersed (or: baptized)?" ³⁷ [note: vs. 37 is missing in texts of Nestle-Aland, WH, Concordant, Panin, Griesbach, Tasker, and is not in the ancient Syriac] ³⁸ And thus, he ordered the chariot to halt (or: stand still), and they both walked down into the water – both Philip and the eunuch – and [Philip] immersed (or: baptized) him. ³⁹ Now when they walked up out of the water, [the] Lord's [= Yahweh's or Christ's] wind (or: Breath-effect; Spirit) suddenly snatched Philip away (i.e.: carried him off), and the eunuch did not see him any longer for he kept on going on his road, continuously rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found (or: discovered) [entering] into Ashdod (or: Azotus), and continuing in going throughout [the territory], he was repeatedly bringing and announcing the good news to all the towns and cities – till the [occasion for] him to come into Caesarea.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul agreed to his death. There was at that time a great persecution against the congregation at Jerusalem. All but the apostles were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria. ² Devout men buried Stephen and mourned him greatly. ³ Saul ravaged the congregation. He entered every house and dragged off men and women and put them in prison. ⁴ They who were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word. ⁵ Then Philip went to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them. ⁶ The people with one accord gave heed to those things Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles he did. ⁷ Unclean spirits, crying with loud voices, came out of many who were possessed by them. Many who were taken with palsies and the lame were healed. ⁸ There was great joy in that city. ⁹ A certain man called Simon was in the same city. He used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, telling everyone that he was great. ¹⁰ They all listened to him, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man has great power from God. ¹¹ They followed him because for a long time he astonished them with sorceries. ¹² When they believed what Philip preached about the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Simon also believed. When he was baptized he continued with Philip, amazed by the miracles and signs he saw. ¹⁴ When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. ¹⁵ Peter and John prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus but had not yet received the Spirit. ¹⁷ So they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ When Simon saw the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money. ¹⁹ Simon said: »Give me this power that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.« ²⁰ Peter said to him: »Your money will perish with you, because you think that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ »You have no part or share in this matter for your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² »Repent of this wickedness, and pray to God, that the thought in your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ »For I perceive that you are full of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.« ²⁴ Simon answered: »Pray to God for me, that none of these things that you have spoken will happen to me.« ²⁵ When they had testified and preached the word of Jehovah they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ God’s angel said to Philip: »Arise, and go toward the south the way that goes from Jerusalem unto Gaza through the desert.« ²⁷ He went and an Ethiopian eunuch (government official), a man of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship. ²⁸ He was returning and sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ The Spirit said to Philip: »Go near, and climb on this chariot.« ³⁰ Philip ran to him, heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said: »Do you understand what you are reading?« ³¹ »How can I«, the eunuch said: »unless someone explains it to me?« He invited Philip to come and sit with him. ³² The Scripture he read was this: »He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer so he did not open his mouth. ³³ »In his humiliation his judgment was taken away. Who will declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth.« ³⁴ The eunuch asked Philip: »Please tell me of whom is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?« ³⁵ Then Philip began at the same Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. ³⁶ On their way, they came to a body of water and the eunuch said, »See, here is water. What prevents me from getting baptized?« ³⁷ Philip said: »If you believe with all your heart, you may.« He answered: »I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.« ³⁸ He commanded the chariot to stop. They both went into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ After they came out of the water God’s Spirit took Philip away. The eunuch did not see him again. He continued his journey rejoicing. ⁴⁰ Philip was seen passing through Azotus. He preached in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Church is ScatteredNow Saul heartily approved of putting Stephen to death. That day a severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and everyone except for the apostles was scattered throughout the countryside of Judea and Samaria. ² Devout men buried Stephen as they mourned loudly for him. ³ But Saul kept trying to destroy the church. Going into one house after another, he began dragging off men and women and throwing them in prison.
⁴ Some Samaritans Become BelieversNow those who were scattered went from place to place preaching the word. ⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began to preach the Messiah to the people. ⁶ The crowds, hearing his message and seeing the signs that he was doing, paid close attention to what was said by Philip. ⁷ Unclean spirits screamed with a loud voice as they came out of the many people they had possessed, and many paralyzed and lame people were healed. ⁸ As a result, there was great rejoicing in that city.
⁹ Now in that city there was a man named Simon. He was practicing occult arts and thrilling the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great. ¹⁰ Everyone from the least to the greatest paid close attention to him, saying, “This is what we call the great power of God!” ¹¹ They paid careful attention to him because he had thrilled them for a long time with his occult performances. ¹² But when Philip proclaimed the good news about the kingdom of God and about the name of Jesus the Messiah, men and women believed and were baptized. ¹³ Even Simon believed, and after he was baptized he became devoted to Philip. He was amazed to see the signs and great miracles that were happening.
¹⁴ Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaritans had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. ¹⁵ They went down and prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ Before this, he had not come on any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money ¹⁹ and said, “Give me this power too, so that when I lay my hands on someone, he will receive the Holy Spirit.”
²⁰ But Peter told him, “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could obtain God’s free gift with money! ²¹ You have no part or share in what we’re saying, because your heart isn’t right with God. ²² So repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, your heart’s intent may be forgiven you. ²³ For I see that you’re being poisoned by bitterness and you’re a prisoner of wickedness!”
²⁴ Simon answered, “Both of you pray to the Lord for me that none of the things you have said will happen to me.”
²⁵ After they had given their testimony and spoken the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, continuing to proclaim the good news in many Samaritan villages.
²⁶ Philip Tells an Ethiopian about JesusNow an angel of the Lord told Philip, “Get up and go south on the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a deserted road.” ²⁷ So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, who was a member of the court of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He was in charge of all her treasures and had come up to Jerusalem to worship. ²⁸ Now he was returning home, seated in his chariot, and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
²⁹ The Spirit told Philip, “Approach that chariot and stay near it.” ³⁰ So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah out loud.
Philip asked, “Do you understand what you’re reading?”
³¹ The man replied, “How can I unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him. ³² This was the passage of Scripture he was reading: “Like a sheep he was led away to be slaughtered, and like a lamb is silent before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation, justice was denied him. Who can describe his descendants? For his life is taken away from the earth.”
³⁴ The eunuch asked Philip, “I ask you, who is the prophet talking about? Himself? Or someone else?” ³⁵ Then Philip began to speak, and, starting from this Scripture, he told him the good news about Jesus.
³⁶ As they were going along the road, they came to some water. The eunuch said, “Look, there’s some water. What keeps me from being baptized?” ³⁷ ³⁸ So he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. ³⁹ When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing and did not see Philip again. ⁴⁰ But Philip found himself at Azotus. As he was passing through that region, he kept proclaiming the good news in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was agreeing with his murder. Now there happened on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him. ³ But Saul was attempting to destroy the church. Entering _⌊house after house_⌋,* he dragged off both men and women and* delivered them* to prison. ⁴ Now those who had been scattered went about proclaiming the good news of the word. ⁵ And Philip came down to the city of Samaria and* began proclaiming* the Christ* to them. ⁶ And the crowds with one mind were paying attention to what was being said by Philip, as they heard him* and saw the signs that he was performing. ⁷ For many of those who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them,* crying out with a loud voice, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ Now a certain man _⌊named_⌋* Simon had been in the city practicing magic and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying he was someone great. ¹⁰ They were all paying attention to _⌊him_⌋,* from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the power of God that is called 'Great.'" ¹¹ And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had astonished them with his* magic. ¹² But when they believed Philip as he* was proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were being baptized. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and after he* was baptized he was _⌊keeping close company with_⌋* Philip. And when he* saw the signs and great miracles that were taking place, he was astonished. ¹⁴ Now when* the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who went down and* prayed for them so that they would receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (For he had not yet fallen on any of them, _⌊but they had only been baptized_⌋* in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then they placed their* hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now Simon, when he* saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, "Give to me also this power, so that whomever I place my* hands on may receive the Holy Spirit!" ²⁰ But Peter said to him, "May your silver _⌊be destroyed along with you_⌋,* because you thought _⌊you could acquire_⌋* the gift of God by means of money! ²¹ _⌊You have no_⌋* part or share in this matter, because your heart is not right before God. ²² Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and ask the Lord if perhaps the intent of your heart may be forgiven you!" ²³ For I see you are in _⌊a state of bitter envy_⌋* and _⌊bound by unrighteousness_⌋."* ²⁴ But Simon answered and* said, "You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said will come upon me." ²⁵ So when* they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they turned back toward Jerusalem, and were proclaiming the good news to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Get up and go toward the south* on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a desert road.) ²⁷ And he got up and* went, and behold, there was a man, an Ethiopian eunuch (a court official of Candace,* queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury) who had come to worship in Jerusalem ²⁸ and was returning and sitting in his chariot, and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, "Approach and join this chariot." ³⁰ So Philip ran up to it* and* heard him reading aloud Isaiah the prophet and said, "So then, do you understand what you are reading?" ³¹ And he said, "So how could I, unless someone will guide me?" And he invited Philip to come up and* sit with him. ³² Now the passage of scripture that he was reading aloud was this:
"He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. ³³ In his* humiliation justice was taken from him. Who can describe his _⌊descendants_⌋?* For his life was taken away from the earth."* ³⁴ And the eunuch answered and* said to Philip, "I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this—about himself or about someone else?" ³⁵ So Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this scripture, proclaimed the good news to him about Jesus. ³⁶ And as they were traveling down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, "Look! Water!

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Saul was there consenting to his killing. And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria. ² Now devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul was destroying the church. Entering houses after houses and dragging off men and women, he was delivering them to prison. ⁴ Therefore indeed those having been scattered went about preaching the word. ⁵ Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria, was proclaiming the Christ to them. ⁶ And the crowds with one accord were giving heed to the things being spoken by Philip in the time for them to hear and to see the signs that he was performing. ⁷ For from many of those having unclean spirits, they were coming out, crying in a loud voice. And many having been paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ So there was great joy in that city. ⁹ Now a certain man named Simon had formerly been practicing sorcery in the city and amazing the people of Samaria, declaring himself to be someone great, ¹⁰ to whom all were giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the power of God that is called Great.” ¹¹ Now they were giving heed to him because for a long time he had amazed them with the magic arts. ¹² But when they believed Philip, proclaiming the gospel concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and having been baptized, was steadfastly continuing with Philip. And beholding the signs and great miracles being performed, he was amazed. ¹⁴ Now the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who having come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For He was not yet fallen upon any of them, but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they began laying the hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now of Simon having seen that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered to them money, ¹⁹ saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.” ²⁰ But Peter said to him, “Your silver, may it perish with you, because you thought the gift of God to be obtained by money! ²¹ To you there is no part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. ²² Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray earnestly to the Lord, if indeed the intent of your heart will be forgiven you. ²³ For I see you being in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity.” ²⁴ And Simon answering said, “You pray earnestly to the Lord on behalf of me, so that nothing of which you have spoken may come upon me.” ²⁵ Therefore they indeed, having earnestly testified and having spoken the word of the Lord, traveled back to Jerusalem, and they were preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the road going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is the desert road.) ²⁷ And having risen up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian eunuch, a potentate of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship. ²⁸ And he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and join yourself to this chariot.” ³⁰ And Philip having run up, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, “Do you then understand what you are reading?” ³¹ And he said, “How indeed could I be able, unless someone will guide me?” And he invited Philip, having come up, to sit with him. ³² Now the passage of Scripture that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb before the one shearing him is silent, so He does not open His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation, justice was taken away from Him. Who will describe His generation? For His life is removed from the earth.” ³⁴ And the eunuch answering said to Philip, “I beseech you, concerning whom does the prophet say this? Concerning himself, or concerning some other?” ³⁵ And Philip, having opened his mouth and having begun from this Scripture, proclaimed the good news to him—Jesus. ³⁶ And as they were going along the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch says, “Behold, water! What prevents me to be baptized?” ³⁷ ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer. For he went his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming the gospel to all the towns until his coming to Caesarea.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Saul was consenting to the assassination of him.
Now there became a great persecution in that day upon the congregation which was in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
² Now devout men entombed Stephen and made a great lamentation over him.
³ Now Saul was devastating the congregation of believers, traveling into every house and dragging men and women away, he was giving them up to prison.

⁴ Therefore indeed, those who were dispersed went through out the land, proclaiming the good-news of the word.
⁵ Now Philip went down to a city of Samaria and was preaching to them the Christ. ⁶ And the crowds united and were taking-heed to the things which were spoken by Philip, while they were hearing and seeing the signs which he was doing. ⁷ For many of those who had unclean spirits, the spirits were coming out, crying with a loud voice. And many were healed who had been paralyzed and lame. ⁸ And there became much joy in that city.
⁹ But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who was formerly in the city practicing-magic and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was someone great. ¹⁰ To whom they were taking-heed, from the little to the great, saying, This one is the power of God, the Great. ¹¹ Now they were taking-heed to him because he had astonished them with his magic for a considerable time. ¹² But when they believed Philip proclaiming the good-news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being immersed, both men and women. ¹³ Now Simon himself also believed and was immersed, and was persevering with Philip. And viewing signs and great miracles which were happening, he was being astonished.
¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them; ¹⁵ who came down and prayed concerning them so that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For he had not yet fallen upon any of them, but they were only immersed into the name of the Christ Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they were laying their hands upon them and they were receiving the Holy Spirit.
¹⁸ But when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’hands the Holy Spirit is given, he offered them monies, ¹⁹ saying, Give to me also this authority, in order that I may lay my hands on whomever, and he may receive the Holy Spirit.
²⁰ But Peter said to him, May your silver together with you be sent into destruction, because you have thought to procure the gift of God through monies! ²¹ You have neither part nor inheritance in this word, for this heart of yours is not straight in God’s sight. ²² Therefore repent from this, your malice, and beseech God; if, then, the deliberation of your heart will be forgiven to you. ²³ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of unrighteousness.
²⁴ But Simon answered and said, You, beseech on my behalf to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.
²⁵ Therefore indeed, having thoroughly testified and having spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem and proclaimed the good-news to many villages of the Samaritans.

²⁶ But a messenger of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Stand up and travel toward the midday sun to the road which is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desolate road. ²⁷ And he stood up and traveled away.
And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, (a sovereign under Candace, the queen of Ethiopia, who was in charge over all her treasure), who had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and who was returning and sitting in his chariot and was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Now the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join yourself to this chariot.

³⁰ Now Philip having ran up to him, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, Do you know then what you are reading?
³¹ But he said, For how am I able, if someone does not guide me? And he pleaded with Philip to come up and sit together with him. ³² Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this: ‘He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb in front of the one who is shearing him is voiceless, thus he does not open his mouth. ³³ His judgment was taken away in his humbleness. But who will be describing his generation? Because his life is taken from the earth.’ ³⁴ But Philip answered and said to the eunuch, I am beseeching you, concerning whom is the prophet speaking about in this? Is he speaking concerning himself or concerning some other person?
³⁵ Now Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, proclaimed the good-news of Jesus to him. ³⁶ Now as they were traveling down the road, they came to a some water, and the eunuch says, Behold, here is water; what is preventing me from being immersed? \super{T} ³⁷ Now Philip said, If you believe from all your heart, it is permitted.
But he answered and said I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. ³⁸ Now he commanded the chariot to stand still and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him. ³⁹ Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord seized Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was traveling on his way rejoicing.
⁴⁰ But Philip was found in Azotus and going through, he was proclaiming the good-news to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

Und als er sah die Zeichen und Taten, die da geschahen, verwunderte er sich. ¹⁴ Da aber die Apostel höreten zu Jerusalem, daß Samarien das Wort Gottes angenommen hatte, sandten sie zu ihnen Petrus und Johannes. ¹⁵ Welche, da sie hinabkamen, beteten sie über sie, daß sie den Heiligen Geist empfingen. ¹⁶ (Denn er war noch auf keinen gefallen, sondern waren allein getauft auf den Namen Christi Jesu.) ¹⁷ Da legten sie die Hände auf sie, und sie empfingen den Heiligen Geist. ¹⁸ Da aber Simon sah, daß der Heilige Geist gegeben ward, wenn die Apostel die Hände auflegten, bot er ihnen Geld an ¹⁹ und sprach: Gebt mir auch die Macht, daß, so ich jemand die Hände auflege, derselbige den Heiligen Geist empfange. ²⁰ Petrus aber sprach zu ihm: Daß du verdammet werdest mit deinem Gelde, daß du meinest Gottes Gabe werde durch Geld erlanget! ²¹ Du wirst weder Teil noch Anfall haben an diesem Wort; denn dein Herz ist nicht rechtschaffen vor Gott. ²² Darum tue Buße für diese deine Bosheit und bitte Gott, ob dir vergeben werden möchte die Tücke deines Herzens. ²³ Denn ich sehe, daß du bist voll bitterer Galle und verknüpft mit Ungerechtigkeit. ²⁴ Da antwortete Simon und sprach: Bittet ihr den HERRN für mich, daß der keines über mich komme, davon ihr gesagt habt! ²⁵ Sie aber, da sie bezeuget und geredet hatten das Wort des HERRN, wandten sie wieder um gen Jerusalem und predigten das Evangelium vielen samaritischen Flecken. ²⁶ Aber der Engel des HERRN redete zu Philippus und sprach: Stehe auf und gehe gegen Mittag auf die Straße, die von Jerusalem hinabgehet gen Gaza, die da wüste ist. ²⁷ Und er stund auf und ging hin. Und siehe, ein Mann aus Mohrenland, ein Kämmerer und Gewaltiger der Königin Kandaze in Mohrenland, welcher war über ihre ganze Schatzkammer, der war kommen gen Jerusalem, anzubeten, ²⁸ und zog wieder heim und saß auf seinem Wagen und las den Propheten Jesaja. ²⁹ Der Geist aber sprach zu Philippus: Gehe hinzu und halte dich zu diesem Wagen. ³⁰ Da lief Philippus hinzu und hörete, daß er den Propheten Jesaja las, und sprach: Verstehest du auch, was du liesest? ³¹ Er aber sprach: Wie kann ich, so mich nicht jemand anleitet? Und ermahnete Philippus, daß er aufträte und setzte sich zu ihm. ³² Der Inhalt aber der Schrift, die er las, war dieser: Er ist wie ein Schaf, zur Schlachtung geführet, und still wie ein Lamm vor seinem Scherer; also hat er nicht aufgetan seinen Mund. ³³ In seiner Niedrigkeit ist sein Gericht aufgehoben; wer wird aber seines Lebens Länge ausreden? Denn sein Leben ist von der Erde weggenommen. ³⁴ Da antwortete der Kämmerer Philippus und sprach: Ich bitte dich, von wem redet der Prophet solches, von ihm selber oder von jemand anders? ³⁵ Philippus aber tat seinen Mund auf und fing von dieser Schrift an und predigte ihm das Evangelium von Jesu. ³⁶ Und als sie zogen der Straße nach, kamen sie an ein Wasser. Und der Kämmerer sprach: Siehe, da ist Wasser; was hindert's, daß ich mich taufen lasse? ³⁷ Philippus aber sprach: Glaubest du von ganzem Herzen, so mag's wohl sein. Er antwortete und sprach: Ich glaube, daß Jesus Christus Gottes Sohn ist. ³⁸ Und er hieß den Wagen halten, und stiegen hinab in das Wasser, beide, Philippus und der Kämmerer; und er taufete ihn. ³⁹ Da sie aber heraufstiegen aus dem Wasser, rückte der Geist des HERRN Philippus hinweg, und der Kämmerer sah ihn nicht mehr; er zog aber seine Straße fröhlich. ⁴⁰ Philippus aber ward funden zu Asdod und wandelte umher und predigte allen Städten das Evangelium, bis daß er kam gen Cäseräa.

3 G4569 Saulus G1161 aber G1577 zerstörete die Gemeinde G1531 , ging hin G5037 und G2596 her G1519 in G3624 die Häuser G2532 und G4951 zog hervor G435 Männer G1135 und Weiber G3860 und überantwortete G5438 sie ins Gefängnis .

4 G1289 Die nun zerstreuet waren G1330 , gingen um G3303 und G2097 predigten G3056 das Wort .

5 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2718 kam G1519 hinab in G4172 eine Stadt G4540 in Samarien G2784 und predigte G846 ihnen G5547 von Christo .

6 G3739 Das G3793 Volk G5037 aber hörete einmütiglich und G4337 fleißig G191 zu G5376 , was Philippus G3004 sagte G2532 , und G991 sahen G5259 die G4592 Zeichen G4160 , die er tat .

7 G1063 Denn G169 die unsaubern G4151 Geister G1831 fuhren G4183 aus vielen G2192 Besessenen G3173 mit großem G994 Geschrei G2532 ; auch G4183 viel G3886 Gichtbrüchige G1161 und G5560 Lahme G2323 wurden gesund gemacht.

8 G2532 Und G1096 ward G3173 eine große G5479 Freude G1722 in G4172 derselbigen Stadt .

11 G846 Sie G4337 sahen G1161 aber G1223 darum G846 auf ihn, daß er G2425 sie lange G5550 Zeit G3095 mit seiner Zauberei G1839 bezaubert hatte .

12 G3753 Da G1161 sie aber G2097 den Predigten G2532 des G5376 Philippus G4100 glaubten G4012 von G932 dem Reich G2316 Gottes G2532 und G3686 von dem Namen G2424 JEsu G5547 Christi G907 , ließen sich taufen G435 beide, Männer G5037 und G1135 Weiber .

13 G1096 Da ward G2532 auch G4613 der Simon G4100 gläubig G1161 und G1096 ließ sich G907 taufen G2532 und G1839 hielt sich zu G5376 Philippus G2532 . Und G846 als er G2334 sah G5037 die Zeichen und G1411 Taten, die da geschahen, verwunderte er sich.

14 G1161 Da aber G652 die Apostel G1722 höreten zu G2414 Jerusalem G3754 , daß G4540 Samarien G3588 das G3056 Wort G2316 Gottes G1209 angenommen G191 hatte G846 , sandten sie G649 zu G4314 ihnen G4074 Petrus G2532 und G2491 Johannes .

15 G3748 Welche G846 , da sie G2597 hinabkamen G4336 , beteten G4012 sie über G3704 sie, daß G40 sie den Heiligen G4151 Geist G2983 empfingen .

22 G3767 Darum G3340 tue Buße G575 für G4675 diese deine G2549 Bosheit G2532 und G1189 bitte G2316 GOtt G1487 , ob G4675 dir G863 vergeben G686 werden möchte G5026 die G1963 Tücke G2588 deines Herzens .

23 G1063 Denn G3708 ich sehe G1519 , daß G4571 du G5607 bist G4088 voll bitterer G5521 Galle G2532 und G4886 verknüpft G93 mit Ungerechtigkeit .

24 G611 Da antwortete G4613 Simon G1161 und G2036 sprach G1189 : Bittet G5210 ihr G2962 den HErrn G5228 für G1700 mich G4314 , daß G3739 der G3367 keines G1909 über G1691 mich G1904 komme G2046 , davon ihr gesagt habt!

26 G1161 Aber G3778 der G32 Engel G2962 des HErrn G2980 redete G4314 zu G5376 Philippus G2532 und G3004 sprach G450 : Stehe auf G4198 und gehe G3314 gegen Mittag G2596 auf G3598 die Straße G575 , die von G2419 Jerusalem G1519 hinabgehet gen G1048 Gaza G1909 , die da G2048 wüste G2597 ist .

27 G2532 Und G846 er G450 stund auf G4198 und ging hin G2400 . Und siehe G435 , ein Mann G128 aus Mohrenland G2135 , ein Kämmerer G1413 und Gewaltiger G938 der Königin G2582 Kandaze G1519 in G128 Mohrenland G3739 , welcher G2258 war G1909 über G3956 ihre ganze G1047 Schatzkammer G2064 , der war kommen G2419 gen Jerusalem G4352 , anzubeten,

28 G5037 und G5290 zog wieder G2258 heim G2532 und G2521 saß G1909 auf G2532 seinem Wagen und G314 las G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaja .

29 G4151 Der Geist G1161 aber G2036 sprach G4334 zu G5376 Philippus G2532 : Gehe hinzu und G5129 halte dich zu diesem G716 Wagen .

30 G4370 Da lief G5376 Philippus G1161 hinzu und G846 hörete, daß er G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaja G314 las G2532 , und G2036 sprach G191 : Verstehest du G3739 auch, was G314 du liesest?

31 G305 Er G1161 aber G2036 sprach G4459 : Wie G1410 kann G3165 ich, so mich G3362 nicht G5100 jemand G3594 anleitet G5037 ? Und G5376 ermahnete Philippus G2523 , daß er aufträte und setzte sich G4862 zu ihm.

32 G4042 Der Inhalt G1161 aber G1124 der Schrift G3739 , die G3778 er G314 las G2258 , war G71 dieser: Er ist G5613 wie G4263 ein Schaf G4967 , zur Schlachtung G2532 geführet, und G880 still G5613 wie G286 ein Lamm G1909 vor G2751 seinem Scherer G3779 ; also G3756 hat er nicht G455 aufgetan G4750 seinen Mund .

33 G1722 In G846 seiner G5014 Niedrigkeit G142 ist G846 sein G2920 Gericht G142 aufgehoben G5101 ; wer G1334 wird G1161 aber G846 seines G1074 Lebens Länge G3754 ausreden? Denn G2222 sein Leben G575 ist von G1093 der Erde weggenommen.

34 G5100 Da G611 antwortete G2135 der Kämmerer G5376 Philippus G1161 und G2036 sprach G5124 : Ich G1189 bitte G4675 dich G4012 , von G3004 wem redet G4396 der Prophet G4012 solches, von G1438 ihm selber G2228 oder G4012 von G5101 jemand G2087 anders ?

35 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G846 tat seinen G4750 Mund G455 auf G2532 und G756 fing G575 von G5026 dieser G1124 Schrift G2097 an und predigte ihm das Evangelium G2424 von JEsu .

36 G1161 Und G4198 als sie zogen G3598 der Straße G2596 nach G2064 , kamen G1909 sie an G5100 ein G5204 Wasser G2532 . Und G2135 der Kämmerer G5346 sprach G2400 : Siehe G5204 , da ist Wasser G5101 ; was G5613 hindert‘s, daß G3165 ich mich G907 taufen lasse?

37 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2036 sprach G1537 : Glaubest du von G3650 ganzem G2588 Herzen G1487 , so G1832 mag‘s G1511 wohl sein G611 . Er antwortete G1161 und G2036 sprach G4100 : Ich glaube G2424 , daß JEsus G5547 Christus G2316 Gottes G4100 Sohn ist .

38 G2532 Und G2532 er G2753 hieß G716 den Wagen G2476 halten G2532 , und G2597 stiegen hinab G1519 in G5204 das Wasser G297 , beide G5376 , Philippus G5037 und G2135 der Kämmerer G2532 ; und er taufete ihn.

39 G3753 Da G5463 sie G1161 aber G1537 heraufstiegen aus G5204 dem Wasser G726 , rückte G4151 der Geist G2962 des HErrn G1063 Philippus hinweg, und G2135 der Kämmerer G1492 sah G3756 ihn nicht G3765 mehr G305 ; er G4198 zog aber G846 seine G3598 Straße fröhlich.

40 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2064 ward G1519 funden zu G108 Asdod G2532 und G4172 wandelte umher und predigte allen Städten G3956 das G2097 Evangelium G2193 , bis G846 daß er G1330 kam G1519 gen Cäseräa.

Luther1912⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saulus aber hatte Wohlgefallen an seinem Tode.

Und siehe, ein Mann aus Mohrenland, ein Kämmerer und Gewaltiger der Königin Kandaze in Mohrenland, welcher war über ihre ganze Schatzkammer, der war gekommen gen Jerusalem, anzubeten, ²⁸ und zog wieder heim und saß auf seinem Wagen und las den Propheten Jesaja. ²⁹ Der Geist aber sprach zu Philippus: Gehe hinzu und halte dich zu diesem Wagen! ³⁰ Da lief Philippus hinzu und hörte, daß er den Propheten Jesaja las, und sprach: Verstehst du auch, was du liesest? ³¹ Er aber sprach: Wie kann ich, so mich nicht jemand anleitet?

1 G4569 Saulus G1161 aber G2258 hatte G4909 Wohlgefallen G846 an seinem G336 Tode G1096 . Es erhob G1161 sich aber G1722 zu G1565 der G2250 Zeit G3173 eine große G1375 Verfolgung G1909 über G1577 die Gemeinde G3588 G1722 zu G2414 Jerusalem G5037 ; und G1289 sie zerstreuten G3956 sich alle G2596 in G5561 die Länder G2449 Judäa G2532 und G4540 Samarien G4133 , außer G652 den Aposteln .

2 G4792 Es bestatteten G1161 aber G4736 Stephanus G2126 gottesfürchtige G435 Männer G2532 und G4160 hielten G3173 eine große G2870 Klage G1909 über G846 ihn .

3 G4569 Saulus G1161 aber G3075 verstörte G1577 die Gemeinde G1531 , ging G2596 hin und her G3624 in die Häuser G4951 und zog G5037 hervor G435 Männer G2532 und G1135 Weiber G3860 und überantwortete G1519 sie ins G5438 Gefängnis .

4 G3767 G3303 Die nun G1289 zerstreut G1330 waren, gingen G2097 um und predigten G3056 das Wort .

5 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2718 kam hinab G1519 in G4172 eine Stadt G4540 in Samarien G2784 und predigte G846 ihnen G5547 von Christo .

6 G3793 Das Volk G5037 aber G1722 G191 G846 hörte G3661 einmütig G4337 und fleißig G5376 zu, was Philippus G5259 G3004 sagte G2532 , und G991 sah G4592 die Zeichen G3739 , die G4160 er tat .

7 G1063 Denn G169 die unsauberen G4151 Geister G1831 fuhren aus G4183 vielen G2192 Besessenen G3173 G5456 mit großem G994 Geschrei G1161 ; auch G4183 viele G3886 Gichtbrüchige G2532 und G5560 Lahme G2323 wurden gesund gemacht.

8 G2532 Und G1096 es ward G3173 eine große G5479 Freude G1722 in G1565 derselben G4172 Stadt .

9 G5100 Es G1161 war aber G5100 ein G435 Mann G3686 , mit Namen G4613 Simon G4391 , der zuvor G1722 in G4172 der Stadt G3096 Zauberei G2532 trieb und G1839 bezauberte G4540 das samaritische G1484 Volk G3004 und gab G1438 vor, er G1511 wäre G5100 etwas G3173 Großes .

10 G3956 Und sie G4337 sahen G3956 alle G3739 auf G575 ihn, beide, G3398 klein G2193 und G3173 groß G3004 , und sprachen G3778 : Der G2076 ist G1411 die Kraft G2316 Gottes G3173 , die da groß ist.

11 G4337 Sie sahen G1161 aber G1223 darum G846 auf ihn G846 , daß er sie G2425 lange G5550 Zeit G3095 mit seiner Zauberei G1839 bezaubert hatte.

12 G3753 Da G4100 sie G1161 aber G2097 den Predigten G5376 des Philippus G4100 glaubten G4012 von G932 dem Reich G2316 Gottes G2532 und G3686 von dem Namen G2424 Jesu G5547 Christi G907 , ließen G5037 G907 sich taufen G435 Männer G2532 und G1135 Weiber .

13 G1161 Da G2532 ward auch G4613 G846 Simon G4100 gläubig G2532 und G907 ließ G907 sich taufen G4342 G2258 und hielt G5376 sich zu Philippus G5037 . Und G2334 als G2334 er sah G4592 G3173 die Zeichen G2532 und G1411 Taten G1096 G1096 , die da geschahen G1839 , verwunderte er sich.

14 G1161 Da aber G652 die Apostel G191 hörten G1722 G3588 zu G2414 Jerusalem G3754 , daß G4540 Samarien G3056 das Wort G2316 Gottes G1209 angenommen G649 hatte, sandten G4314 sie zu G846 ihnen G4074 Petrus G2532 und G2491 Johannes,

15 G3748 welche G2597 , da sie hinabkamen G4336 , beteten G4012 sie über G846 sie G3704 , daß G40 sie den heiligen G4151 Geist G2983 empfingen .

16 G1063 [Denn G2258 er war G3768 noch G1909 auf G3762 G846 keinen G1968 gefallen G1161 , sondern G5225 sie waren G3440 allein G907 getauft G1519 auf G3686 den Namen G2962 Christi G2424 Jesu .]

17 G5119 Da G2007 legten G5495 sie die Hände G1909 auf G846 sie G2532 , und G2983 sie empfingen G40 den heiligen G4151 Geist .

18 G1161 Da aber G4613 Simon G2300 sah G3754 , daß G40 der heilige G4151 Geist G1325 gegeben G1223 ward, wenn G652 die Apostel G5495 die Hände G1936 auflegten G4374 , bot G846 er ihnen G5536 Geld G4374 an

19 G3004 und sprach G1325 : Gebt G2504 mir auch G5026 die G1849 Macht G2443 , daß G3739 G1437 , so ich jemand G5495 die Hände G2007 auflege G2983 , derselbe G40 den heiligen G4151 Geist G2983 empfange .

20 G4074 Petrus G1161 aber G2036 sprach G4314 zu G846 ihm G4671 : Daß du G1519 G1498 G684 verdammt G4862 werdest mit G4675 deinem G694 Gelde G3754 , darum G3543 daß du meinst G2316 , Gottes G1431 Gabe G2932 werde G1223 durch G5536 Geld G2932 erlangt!

21 G4671 Du G2076 wirst G3756 weder G3310 Teil G3761 noch G2819 Anfall G1722 haben an G5129 diesem G3056 Wort G1063 ; denn G4675 dein G2588 Herz G2076 ist G3756 nicht G2117 rechtschaffen G1799 vor G2316 Gott .

22 G3767 Darum G3340 tue Buße G575 für G5026 diese G4675 deine G2549 Bosheit G2532 und G1189 bitte G2316 Gott G1487 , ob G4671 dir G863 vergeben G686 werden möchte G1963 die Tücke G4675 deines G2588 Herzens .

23 G1063 Denn G3708 ich sehe G4571 , du G5607 bist G1519 voll G4088 bitterer G5521 Galle G2532 und G4886 verknüpft G93 mit Ungerechtigkeit .

24 G1161 Da G611 antwortete G4613 Simon G2036 und sprach G1189 : Bittet G5210 ihr G4314 den G2962 HERRN G5228 für G1700 mich G3704 , daß G3367 der keines G1909 über G1691 mich G1904 komme G3739 , davon G2046 ihr gesagt habt.

25 G3303 G3767 Sie aber, da G1263 sie bezeugt G2532 und G2980 geredet G3056 hatten das Wort G2962 des HERRN G5290 , wandten G1519 sich wieder um gen G2419 Jerusalem G5037 und predigten G2097 das Evangelium G4183 vielen G4541 samaritischen G2968 Flecken .

26 G1161 Aber G32 der Engel G2962 des HERRN G2980 redete G4314 zu G5376 Philippus G3004 und sprach G450 : Stehe G2532 auf und G4198 gehe G2596 gegen G3314 Mittag G1909 auf G3598 die Straße G575 , die von G2419 Jerusalem G2597 geht hinab G1519 gen G1048 Gaza G3778 , die G2048 da wüst G2076 ist .

27 G2532 Und G450 er stand G4198 auf und ging G2532 hin. Und G2400 siehe G435 , ein Mann G128 aus Mohrenland G2135 , ein Kämmerer G1413 und Gewaltiger G938 der Königin G2582 Kandaze G128 in Mohrenland G3739 , welcher G2258 war G1909 über G846 ihre G3956 ganze G1047 Schatzkammer G3739 , G2064 der war gekommen G1519 gen G2419 Jerusalem G4352 , anzubeten,

28 G5037 und G5290 G2258 zog wieder heim G2532 und G2521 saß G1909 auf G846 seinem G716 Wagen G2532 und G314 las G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaja .

29 G4151 Der Geist G1161 aber G2036 sprach G5376 zu Philippus G4334 : Gehe hinzu G2532 und G2853 halte G5129 dich zu diesem G716 Wagen!

30 G1161 Da G4370 lief G5376 Philippus G191 hinzu und hörte G846 , daß er G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaja G314 las G2532 , und G2036 sprach G1097 : Verstehst G687 G1065 du auch G3739 , was G314 du liesest ?

31 G1161 Er aber G2036 sprach G4459 G1063 : Wie G302 G1410 kann ich G3362 , so G3165 mich G3362 nicht G5100 jemand G3594 anleitet G5037 ? Und G3870 ermahnte G5376 Philippus G305 , daß er aufträte G2523 und setzte G4862 sich zu G846 ihm .

32 G4042 Der Inhalt G1161 aber G1124 der Schrift G3739 , die G314 er las G2258 , war G3778 dieser G71 : «Er G5613 ist wie G4263 ein Schaf G1909 zur G4967 Schlachtung G71 geführt G2532 ; und G880 still G5613 wie G286 ein Lamm G1726 vor G846 seinem G2751 Scherer G3779 , also G3756 hat er nicht G455 aufgetan G846 seinen G4750 Mund .

33 G1722 In G846 seiner G5014 Niedrigkeit G142 ist G846 sein G2920 Gericht G142 aufgehoben G5101 . Wer G1334 wird G1161 aber G846 seines G1074 Lebens Länge G1334 ausreden G3754 ? denn G846 sein G2222 Leben G142 ist G575 von G1093 der Erde G142 weggenommen .

34 G1161 Da G611 antwortete G2135 der Kämmerer G5376 dem Philippus G2036 und sprach G1189 : Ich bitte G4675 dich G4012 , von G5101 wem G3004 redet G4396 der Prophet G5124 solches G4012 ? von G1438 sich selber G2228 oder G4012 von G5100 jemand G2087 anders ?

35 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G455 tat G846 seinen G4750 Mund G455 auf G2532 und G756 fing G575 von G5026 dieser G1124 Schrift G756 an G2097 und predigte G846 ihm G2424 das Evangelium von Jesu .

36 G1161 Und G5613 als G4198 sie zogen G3598 der Straße G2596 nach G2064 , kamen G1909 sie an G5100 ein G5204 Wasser G2532 . Und G2135 der Kämmerer G5346 sprach G2400 : Siehe G5204 , da ist Wasser G5101 ; was G2967 hindert’s G3165 , daß ich mich G907 taufen lasse?

37 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2036 sprach G4100 : Glaubest G1537 du von G3650 ganzem G2588 Herzen G1487 , so G1832 mag’s G611 wohl sein. Er antwortete G1161 und G2036 sprach G4100 : Ich glaube G2424 , daß Jesus G5547 Christus G2316 Gottes G5207 Sohn G1511 ist .

38 G2532 Und G2753 er hieß G716 den Wagen G2476 halten G2532 , und G2597 stiegen G1519 hinab in G5204 das Wasser G297 beide G5376 , Philippus G2532 und G2135 der Kämmerer G2532 , und G907 er taufte G846 ihn .

39 G3753 Da G1161 sie aber G305 heraufstiegen G1537 aus G5204 dem Wasser G726 , rückte G4151 der Geist G2962 des HERRN G5376 Philippus G726 hinweg G2532 , und G2135 der Kämmerer G3756 G1492 sah G846 ihn G3765 nicht mehr G4198 ; er zog G1063 aber G846 seine G3598 Straße G5463 fröhlich .

Es entstand aber an jenem Tage eine große Verfolgung wider die Versammlung, die in Jerusalem war; und alle wurden in die Landschaften von Judäa und Samaria zerstreut, ausgenommen die Apostel. ² Gottesfürchtige Männer aber bestatteten den Stephanus und stellten eine große Klage über ihn an. ³ Saulus aber verwüstete die Versammlung, indem er der Reihe nach in die Häuser ging; und er schleppte sowohl Männer als Weiber fort und überlieferte sie ins Gefängnis. ⁴ Die Zerstreuten nun gingen umher und verkündigten das Wort. ⁵ Philippus aber ging hinab in eine Stadt Samarias und predigte ihnen den Christus. ⁶ Und die Volksmenge achtete einmütig auf das, was von Philippus geredet wurde, indem sie zuhörten und die Zeichen sahen, die er tat. ⁷ Denn von vielen, welche unreine Geister hatten, fuhren sie aus, mit lauter Stimme schreiend; und viele Gelähmte und Lahme wurden geheilt. ⁸ Und es war eine große Freude in jener Stadt. ⁹ Ein gewisser Mann aber, mit Namen Simon, befand sich vorher in der Stadt, der Zauberei trieb und das Volk von Samaria außer sich brachte, indem er von sich selbst sagte, daß er etwas Großes sei; ¹⁰ welchem alle, vom Kleinen bis zum Großen, anhingen, indem sie sagten: Dieser ist die Kraft Gottes, die man die große nennt. ¹¹ Sie hingen ihm aber an, weil er sie lange Zeit mit den Zaubereien außer sich gebracht hatte. ¹² Als sie aber dem Philippus glaubten, der das Evangelium von dem Reiche Gottes und dem Namen Jesu Christi verkündigte, wurden sie getauft, sowohl Männer als Weiber. ¹³ Aber auch Simon selbst glaubte, und als er getauft war, hielt er sich zu Philippus; und als er die Zeichen und großen Wunder sah, welche geschahen, geriet er außer sich. ¹⁴ Als aber die Apostel, welche in Jerusalem waren, gehört hatten, daß Samaria das Wort Gottes angenommen habe, sandten sie Petrus und Johannes zu ihnen; ¹⁵ welche, als sie hinabgekommen waren, für sie beteten, damit sie den Heiligen Geist empfangen möchten; ¹⁶ denn er war noch nicht auf einen von ihnen gefallen, sondern sie waren allein getauft auf den Namen des Herrn Jesu. ¹⁷ Dann legten sie ihnen die Hände auf, und sie empfingen den Heiligen Geist. ¹⁸ Als aber Simon sah, daß durch das Auflegen der Hände der Apostel der [Heilige] Geist gegeben wurde, bot er ihnen Geld an ¹⁹ und sagte: Gebet auch mir diese Gewalt, auf daß, wem irgend ich die Hände auflege, er den Heiligen Geist empfange. ²⁰ Petrus aber sprach zu ihm: Dein Geld fahre samt dir ins Verderben weil du gemeint hast, daß die Gabe Gottes durch Geld zu erlangen sei! ²¹ Du hast weder Teil noch Los an dieser Sache, denn dein Herz ist nicht aufrichtig vor Gott. ²² Tue nun Buße über diese deine Bosheit und bitte den Herrn, ob dir etwa der Anschlag deines Herzens vergeben werde; ²³ denn ich sehe, daß du in Galle der Bitterkeit und in Banden der Ungerechtigkeit bist. ²⁴ Simon aber antwortete und sprach: Bittet ihr für mich den Herrn, damit nichts über mich komme von dem, was ihr gesagt habt. ²⁵ Nachdem sie nun das Wort des Herrn bezeugt und geredet hatten, kehrten sie nach Jerusalem zurück und verkündigten das Evangelium vielen Dörfern der Samariter. ²⁶ Ein Engel des Herrn aber redete zu Philippus und sprach: Stehe auf und geh gegen Süden auf den Weg, der von Jerusalem nach Gaza hinabführt; derselbe ist öde. ²⁷ Und er stand auf und ging hin. Und siehe, ein Äthiopier, ein Kämmerer, ein Gewaltiger der Kandace, der Königin der Äthiopier, der über ihren ganzen Schatz gesetzt war, war gekommen, um zu Jerusalem anzubeten; ²⁸ und er war auf der Rückkehr und saß auf seinem Wagen und las den Propheten Jesaias. ²⁹ Der Geist aber sprach zu Philippus: Tritt hinzu und schließe dich diesem Wagen an. ³⁰ Philippus aber lief hinzu und hörte ihn den Propheten Jesaias lesen und sprach: Verstehst du auch, was du liesest? ³¹ Er aber sprach: Wie könnte ich denn, wenn nicht jemand mich anleitet?

1 G4569 Saulus G1161 aber G4909 G2258 willigte G846 in seine G336 Tötung G4909 mit ein. G1096 Es entstand G1161 aber G1722 an G1565 jenem G2250 Tage G3173 eine große G1375 Verfolgung G1909 wider G1577 die Versammlung, G3588 die G1722 in G2414 Jerusalem G5037 war; und G3956 alle G1289 wurden G2596 in G5561 die Landschaften G2449 von Judäa G2532 und G4540 Samaria G1289 zerstreut, G4133 ausgenommen G652 die Apostel.

2 G2126 Gottesfürchtige G435 Männer G1161 aber G4792 bestatteten G4736 den Stephanus G2532 und G4160 stellten G3173 eine große G2870 Klage G1909 über G846 ihn G4160 an.

3 G4569 Saulus G1161 aber G3075 verwüstete G1577 die Versammlung, G2596 indem er der Reihe nach G1531 in G3624 die Häuser G1531 ging; G4951 und er schleppte G5037 sowohl G435 Männer G2532 als G1135 Weiber G4951 fort G3860 und überlieferte G1519 sie ins G5438 Gefängnis.

4 G1289 Die Zerstreuten G3767 G3303 nun G1330 gingen umher G2097 und verkündigten G3056 das Wort.

5 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2718 ging hinab G1519 in G4172 eine Stadt G4540 Samarias G2784 und predigte G846 ihnen G5547 den Christus.

6 G5037 Und G3793 die Volksmenge G4337 achtete G3661 einmütig G5376 auf das, was von Philippus G3004 G5259 geredet G1722 wurde, indem G191 sie zuhörten G2532 und G4592 die Zeichen G991 sahen, G3739 die G4160 er tat.

7 G1063 Denn G4183 von vielen, G169 welche unreine G4151 Geister G2192 hatten, G1831 fuhren sie aus, G3173 mit lauter G5456 Stimme G994 schreiend; G1161 und G4183 viele G3886 Gelähmte G2532 und G5560 Lahme G2323 wurden geheilt.

8 G2532 Und G1096 es war G3173 eine große G5479 Freude G1722 in G1565 jener G4172 Stadt.

9 G5100 Ein gewisser G435 Mann G1161 aber, G3686 mit Namen G4613 Simon, G4391 befand sich vorher G1722 in G4172 der Stadt, G3096 der Zauberei trieb G2532 und G1484 das Volk G4540 von Samaria G1839 außer sich brachte, G1438 indem er von sich selbst G3004 sagte, G5100 daß er etwas G3173 Großes G1511 sei;

10 G3739 welchem G3956 alle, G575 vom G3398 Kleinen G2193 bis zum G3173 Großen, G4337 anhingen, G3004 indem sie sagten: G3778 Dieser G2076 ist G1411 die Kraft G2316 Gottes, G3173 die man die große nennt.

11 G4337 Sie hingen G846 ihm G1161 aber G4337 an, G1223 weil G846 er sie G2425 lange G5550 Zeit G3095 mit den Zaubereien G1839 außer sich gebracht hatte.

12 G3753 Als G1161 sie aber G5376 dem Philippus G4100 glaubten, G4012 der das Evangelium von G932 dem Reiche G2316 Gottes G2532 und G3686 dem Namen G2424 Jesu G5547 Christi G2097 verkündigte, G907 wurden sie getauft, G5037 sowohl G435 Männer G2532 als G1135 Weiber.

13 G1161 Aber G2532 auch G4613 Simon G846 selbst G4100 glaubte, G2532 und G907 als er getauft G4342 G2258 war, hielt er sich zu G5376 Philippus; G5037 und G4592 als er die Zeichen G2532 und G3173 großen G1411 Wunder G2334 sah, G1096 welche geschahen, G1839 geriet er außer sich.

14 G1161 Als aber G652 die Apostel, G3588 welche G1722 in G2414 Jerusalem G191 waren, gehört G3754 hatten, daß G4540 Samaria G3056 das Wort G2316 Gottes G1209 angenommen G649 habe, sandten G4074 sie Petrus G2532 und G2491 Johannes G4314 zu G846 ihnen;

15 G3748 welche, G2597 als sie hinabgekommen G4012 waren, für G846 sie G4336 beteten, G3704 damit G40 sie den Heiligen G4151 Geist G2983 empfangen möchten;

16 G1063 denn G2258 er war G3768 noch nicht G1909 auf G3762 einen G846 von ihnen G1968 gefallen, G1161 sondern G5225 sie waren G3440 allein G907 getauft G1519 auf G3686 den Namen G2962 des Herrn G2424 Jesu.

17 G5119 Dann G2007 legten G846 sie ihnen G5495 die Hände G1909 auf, G2532 und G2983 sie empfingen G40 den Heiligen G4151 Geist.

18 G1161 Als aber G4613 Simon G2300 sah, G3754 daß G1223 durch G1936 das Auflegen G5495 der Hände G652 der Apostel G40 der [Heilige] G4151 Geist G1325 gegeben G4374 wurde, bot G846 er ihnen G5536 Geld G4374 an

19 G3004 und sagte: G1325 Gebet G2504 auch mir G5026 diese G1849 Gewalt, G2443 auf daß, G3739 wem G302 irgend G5495 ich die Hände G2007 auflege, G40 er den Heiligen G4151 Geist G2983 empfange.

20 G4074 Petrus G1161 aber G2036 sprach G4314 zu G846 ihm: G4675 Dein G694 Geld G1498 fahre G4862 samt G4671 dir G1519 ins G684 Verderben G3754 weil G3543 du gemeint G1431 hast, daß die Gabe G2316 Gottes G1223 durch G5536 Geld G2932 zu erlangen sei!

21 G4671 Du G2076 hast G3756 weder G3310 Teil G3761 noch G2819 Los G1722 an G5129 dieser G3056 Sache, G1063 denn G4675 dein G2588 Herz G2076 ist G3756 nicht G2117 aufrichtig G1799 vor G2316 Gott.

22 G3340 Tue G3767 nun G3340 Buße G575 über G5026 diese G4675 deine G2549 Bosheit G2532 und G1189 bitte G2316 den Herrn, G1487 ob G4671 dir G686 etwa G1963 der Anschlag G4675 deines G2588 Herzens G863 vergeben werde;

23 G1063 denn G3708 ich sehe, G4571 daß du G1519 in G5521 Galle G4088 der Bitterkeit G2532 und G4886 in Banden G93 der Ungerechtigkeit G5607 bist.

24 G4613 Simon G1161 aber G611 antwortete G2036 und sprach: G1189 Bittet G5210 ihr G5228 für G1700 mich G4314 den G2962 Herrn, G3704 damit G3367 nichts G1909 über G1691 mich G1904 komme G3739 von dem, was G2046 ihr gesagt habt.

25 G3303 G3767 Nachdem sie nun G3056 das Wort G2962 des Herrn G1263 bezeugt G2532 und G2980 geredet G5290 hatten, kehrten G1519 sie nach G2419 Jerusalem G5290 zurück G5037 und G2097 verkündigten das Evangelium G4183 vielen G2968 Dörfern G4541 der Samariter.

26 G32 Ein Engel G2962 des Herrn G1161 aber G2980 redete G4314 zu G5376 Philippus G3004 und sprach: G450 Stehe auf G2532 und G4198 geh G2596 gegen G3314 Süden G1909 auf G3598 den Weg, G575 der von G2419 Jerusalem G1519 nach G1048 Gaza G2597 hinabführt; G3778 derselbe G2076 ist G2048 öde.

27 G2532 Und G450 er stand auf G4198 und ging hin. G2532 Und G2400 siehe, G128 ein Äthiopier, G2135 ein Kämmerer, G1413 ein Gewaltiger G2582 der Kandace, G938 der Königin G128 der Äthiopier, G3739 der G1909 über G846 ihren G3956 ganzen G1047 Schatz G2258 gesetzt war, G2064 war gekommen, G4352 um G1519 zu G2419 Jerusalem G4352 anzubeten;

28 G5037 und G2258 er war G5290 auf der Rückkehr G2532 und G2521 saß G1909 auf G846 seinem G716 Wagen G2532 und G314 las G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaias.

29 G4151 Der Geist G1161 aber G2036 sprach G5376 zu Philippus: G4334 Tritt hinzu G2532 und G2853 schließe G5129 dich diesem G716 Wagen G2853 an.

30 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G4370 lief hinzu G191 und hörte G846 ihn G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaias G314 lesen G2532 und G2036 sprach: G1097 Verstehst G1065 G687 du auch, G3739 was G314 du liesest?

31 G1161 Er aber G2036 sprach: G1063 G4459 Wie G1410 könnte G302 ich denn, G3362 wenn nicht G5100 jemand G3165 mich G3594 anleitet? G5037 Und G3870 er bat G5376 den Philippus, G305 daß er aufsteige G2523 und sich G4862 zu G846 ihm G2523 setze.

32 G4042 Die Stelle G1124 der Schrift G1161 aber, G3739 welche G314 er las, G2258 war G3778 diese: G71 "Er wurde G5613 wie G4263 ein Schaf G1909 zur G4967 Schlachtung G71 geführt, G2532 und G5613 wie G286 ein Lamm G880 stumm G1726 ist vor G846 seinem G2751 Scherer, G3779 also G455 tut G846 er seinen G4750 Mund G3756 nicht G455 auf.

33 G1722 In G846 seiner G5014 Erniedrigung G142 wurde G846 sein G2920 Gericht G142 weggenommen; G5101 wer G1161 aber G1334 wird G846 sein G1074 Geschlecht G1334 beschreiben? G3754 denn G846 sein G2222 Leben G142 wird G575 von G1093 der Erde G142 weggenommen".

34 G2135 Der Kämmerer G1161 aber G611 antwortete G5376 dem Philippus G2036 und sprach: G1189 Ich bitte G4675 dich, G4012 von G5101 wem G3004 sagt G4396 der Prophet G5124 dieses? G4012 von G1438 sich selbst G2228 oder G4012 von G5100 einem G2087 anderen?

35 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G455 tat G846 seinen G4750 Mund G455 auf, G2532 und, G756 anfangend G575 von G5026 dieser G1124 Schrift, G2097 verkündigte G846 er ihm G2097 das Evangelium G2424 von Jesu.

36 G5613 Als G1161 sie aber G2596 auf G3598 dem Wege G4198 fortzogen, G2064 kamen G1909 sie an G5100 ein gewisses G5204 Wasser. G2532 Und G2135 der Kämmerer G5346 spricht: G2400 Siehe, G5204 da ist Wasser; G5101 was G2967 hindert G3165 mich G907 getauft zu werden?

37[]

38 G2532 Und G2753 er hieß G716 den Wagen G2476 halten. G2532 Und G2597 sie stiegen G297 beide G1519 in G5204 das Wasser G2597 hinab, G5037 sowohl G5376 Philippus G2532 als G2135 der Kämmerer; G2532 und G907 er taufte G846 ihn.

39 G3753 Als G1161 sie aber G1537 aus G5204 dem Wasser G305 heraufstiegen, G726 entrückte G4151 der Geist G2962 des Herrn G5376 den Philippus; G2532 und G2135 der Kämmerer G1492 sah G846 ihn G3765 nicht mehr, G1063 denn G4198 er zog G846 seinen G3598 Weg G5463 mit Freuden.

40 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2147 wurde G1519 zu G108 Asdod G2147 gefunden; G2532 und G1330 indem er hindurchzog, G2097 verkündigte G3956 er das Evangelium allen G4172 Städten, G2193 bis G846 er G1519 nach G2542 Cäsarea G2064 kam.

11 G4337 Sie hingen G846 ihm G1161 aber G4337 an G1223 , weil G846 er sie G2425 lange G5550 Zeit G3095 mit den Zaubereien G1839 außer sich gebracht hatte.

12 G3753 Als G1161 sie aber G5376 dem Philippus G4100 glaubten G4012 , der das Evangelium von G932 dem Reiche G2316 Gottes G2532 und G3686 dem Namen G2424 Jesu G5547 Christi G2097 verkündigte G907 , wurden sie getauft G5037 , sowohl G435 Männer G2532 als G1135 Weiber .

13 G1161 Aber G2532 auch G4613 Simon G846 selbst G4100 glaubte G2532 , und G907 als er getauft G2258 -G4342 war, hielt er sich zu G5376 Philippus G5037 ; und G4592 als er die Zeichen G2532 und G3173 großen G1411 Wunder G2334 sah G1096 , welche geschahen G1839 , geriet er außer sich .

14 G1161 Als aber G652 die Apostel G3588 , welche G1722 in G2414 Jerusalem G191 waren, gehört G3754 hatten, daß G4540 Samaria G3056 das Wort G2316 Gottes G1209 angenommen G649 habe, sandten G4074 sie Petrus G2532 und G2491 Johannes G4314 zu G846 ihnen;

15 G3748 welche G2597 , als sie hinabgekommen G4012 waren, für G846 die G4336 beteten G3704 , damit G40 sie den Heiligen G4151 Geist G2983 empfangen möchten;

16 G1063 denn G2258 er war G3768 noch nicht G1909 auf G3762 einen G846 von ihnen G1968 gefallen G1161 , sondern G5225 sie waren G3440 allein G907 getauft G1519 auf G3686 den Namen G2962 des Herrn G2424 Jesus .

17 G5119 Dann G2007 legten G846 sie ihnen G5495 die Hände G1909 auf G2532 , und G2983 sie empfingen G40 den Heiligen G4151 Geist .

18 G1161 Als aber G4613 Simon G2300 sah G3754 , daß G1223 durch G1936 das Auflegen G5495 der Hände G652 der Apostel G40 der [Heilige G4151 ]Geist G1325 gegeben G4374 wurde, bot G846 er ihnen G5536 Geld G4374 an

19 G3004 und sagte G1325 : Gebet G2504 auch mir G5026 diese G1849 Gewalt G2443 , auf daß G3739 , wem G302 irgend G5495 ich die Hände G2007 auflege G40 , er den Heiligen G4151 Geist G2983 empfange .

20 G4074 Petrus G1161 aber G2036 sprach G4314 zu G846 ihm G4675 : Dein G694 Geld G1498 fahre G4862 samt G4671 dir G1519 ins G684 Verderben G3754 , weil G3543 du gemeint G1431 hast, daß die Gabe G2316 Gottes G1223 durch G5536 Geld G2932 zu erlangen sei!

21 G4671 Du G2076 hast G3756 weder G3310 Teil G3761 noch G2819 Los G1722 an G5129 dieser G3056 Sache G1063 , denn G4675 dein G2588 Herz G2076 ist G3756 nicht G2117 aufrichtig G1799 vor G2316 Gott .

22 G3340 Tue G3767 nun G3340 Buße G575 über G5026 diese G4675 deine G2549 Bosheit G2532 und G1189 bitte G2316 den Herrn G1487 , ob G4671 dir G686 etwa G1963 der Anschlag G4675 deines G2588 Herzens G863 vergeben werde;

23 G1063 denn G3708 ich sehe G4571 , daß du G1519 in G5521 Galle G4088 der Bitterkeit G2532 und G4886 in Banden G93 der Ungerechtigkeit G5607 bist .

24 G4613 Simon G1161 aber G611 antwortete G2036 und sprach G1189 : Bittet G5210 ihr G5228 für G1700 mich G4314 den G2962 Herrn G3704 , damit G3367 nichts G1909 über G1691 mich G1904 komme G3739 von dem, was G2046 ihr gesagt habt .

25 G3303 -G3767 Nachdem sie nun G3056 das Wort G2962 des Herrn G1263 bezeugt G2532 und G2980 geredet G5290 hatten, kehrten G1519 sie nach G2419 Jerusalem G5290 zurück G5037 und G2097 verkündigten das Evangelium G4183 vielen G2968 Dörfern G4541 der Samariter .

26 G32 Ein Engel G2962 des Herrn G1161 aber G2980 redete G4314 zu G5376 Philippus G3004 und sprach G450 : Stehe auf G2532 und G4198 geh G2596 gegen G3314 Süden G1909 auf G3598 den Weg G575 , der von G2419 Jerusalem G1519 nach G1048 Gaza G2597 hinabführt G3778 ; derselbe G2076 ist G2048 öde .

27 G2532 Und G450 er stand auf G4198 und ging G2532 hin. Und G2400 siehe G128 ein Äthiopier G2135 , ein Kämmerer G1413 , ein Gewaltiger G2582 der Kandace G938 , der Königin G128 der Äthiopier G3739 , der G1909 über G846 ihren G3956 ganzen G1047 Schatz G2258 gesetzt war G2064 , war gekommen G4352 , um G1519 zu G2419 Jerusalem G4352 anzubeten;

28 G5037 und G2258 er war G5290 auf der Rückkehr G2532 und G2521 saß G1909 auf G846 seinem G716 Wagen G2532 und G314 las G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaias .

29 G4151 Der Geist G1161 aber G2036 sprach G5376 zu Philippus G4334 : Tritt hinzu G2532 und G2853 schließe G5129 dich diesem G716 Wagen G2853 an .

30 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G4370 lief hinzu G191 und hörte G846 ihn G4396 den Propheten G2268 Jesaias G314 lesen G2532 und G2036 sprach G1097 : Verstehst G687 -G1065 du auch G3739 , was G314 du liesest ?

31 G1161 Er aber G2036 sprach G1063 -G4459 : Wie G1410 könnte G302 ich denn G3362 , wenn nicht G5100 jemand G3165 mich G3594 anleitet G5037 ? Und G3870 er bat G5376 den Philippus G305 , daß er aufsteige G2523 und sich G4862 zu G846 ihm G2523 setze .

32 G4042 Die Stelle G1124 der Schrift G1161 aber G3739 , welche G314 er las G2258 , war G3778 diese G71 :" Er wurde G5613 wie G4263 ein Schaf G1909 zur G4967 Schlachtung G71 geführt G2532 , und G5613 wie G286 ein Lamm G880 stumm G1726 ist vor G846 seinem G2751 Scherer G3779 , also G455 tut G846 er seinen G4750 Mund G3756 nicht G455 auf .

33 G1722 In G846 seiner G5014 Erniedrigung G142 wurde G846 sein G2920 Gericht G142 weggenommen G5101 ; wer G1161 aber G1334 wird G846 sein G1074 Geschlecht G1334 beschreiben G3754 ? denn G846 sein G2222 Leben G142 wird G575 von G1093 der Erde G142 weggenommen . "

34 G2135 Der Kämmerer G1161 aber G611 antwortete G5376 dem Philippus G2036 und sprach G1189 : Ich bitte G4675 dich G4012 , von G5101 wem G3004 sagt G4396 der Prophet G5124 dieses G4012 ? von G1438 sich selbst G2228 oder G4012 von G5100 einem G2087 anderen ?

35 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G455 tat G846 seinen G4750 Mund G455 auf G2532 , und G756 , anfangend G575 von G5026 dieser G1124 Schrift G2097 , verkündigte G846 er ihm G2097 das Evangelium G2424 von Jesu .

36 G5613 Als G1161 sie aber G2596 auf G3598 dem Wege G4198 fortzogen G2064 , kamen G1909 sie an G5100 ein gewisses G5204 Wasser G2532 . Und G2135 der Kämmerer G5346 spricht G2400 : Siehe G5204 , da ist Wasser G5101 ; was G2967 hindert G3165 mich G907 , getauft zu werden?

37 --

38 G2532 Und G2753 er hieß G716 den Wagen G2476 halten G2532 . Und G2597 sie stiegen G297 beide G1519 in G5204 das Wasser G2597 hinab G5037 , sowohl G5376 Philippus G2532 als G2135 der Kämmerer G2532 ; und G907 er taufte G846 ihn .

39 G3753 Als G1161 sie aber G1537 aus G5204 dem Wasser G305 heraufstiegen G726 , entrückte G4151 der Geist G2962 des Herrn G5376 den Philippus G2532 ; und G2135 der Kämmerer G1492 sah G846 ihn G3765 nicht mehr G1063 , denn G4198 er zog G846 seinen G3598 Weg G5463 mit Freuden .

40 G5376 Philippus G1161 aber G2147 wurde G1519 zu G108 Asdod G2147 gefunden G2532 ; und G1330 indem er hindurchzog G2097 , verkündigte G3956 er das Evangelium allen G4172 Städten G2193 , bis G846 er G1519 nach G2542 Cäsarea G2064 kam .

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ En Saulus had mede een welbehagen aan zijn dood. En er werd te dien dage een grote vervolging tegen de Gemeente, die te Jeruzalem was; en zij werden allen verstrooid door de landen van Judea en Samaria, behalve de apostelen. ² En enige godvruchtige mannen droegen Stefanus te zamen ten grave en maakten groten rouw over hem. ³ En Saulus verwoestte de Gemeente, gaande in de huizen; en trekkende mannen en vrouwen, leverde hen over in de gevangenis. ⁴ Zij dan nu, die verstrooid waren, gingen het land door, en verkondigden het Woord. ⁵ En Filippus kwam af in de stad van Samaria, en predikte hun Christus. ⁶ En de scharen hielden zich eendrachtelijk aan hetgeen van Filippus gezegd werd, dewijl zij hoorden en zagen de tekenen, die hij deed. ⁷ Want van velen, die onreine geesten hadden, gingen dezelve uit, roepende met grote stem; en vele geraakten en kreupelen werden genezen. ⁸ En er werd grote blijdschap in die stad. ⁹ En een zeker man, met name Simon, was te voren in de stad plegende toverij, en verrukkende de zinnen des volks van Samaria, zeggende van zichzelven, dat hij wat groots was. ¹⁰ Welken zij allen aanhingen, van den kleine tot den grote, zeggende: Deze is de grote kracht Gods. ¹¹ En zij hingen hem aan, omdat hij een langen tijd met toverijen hun zinnen verrukt had. ¹² Maar toen zij Filippus geloofden, die het Evangelie van het Koninkrijk Gods, en van den Naam van Jezus Christus verkondigde, werden zij gedoopt, beiden, mannen en vrouwen. ¹³ En Simon geloofde ook zelf, en gedoopt zijnde, bleef gedurig bij Filippus; en ziende de tekenen en grote krachten, die er geschiedden, ontzette hij zich. ¹⁴ Als nu de apostelen, die te Jeruzalem waren, hoorden, dat Samaria het Woord Gods aangenomen had, zonden zij tot hen Petrus en Johannes; ¹⁵ Dewelken, afgekomen zijnde, baden voor hen, dat zij den Heiligen Geest ontvangen mochten. ¹⁶ (Want Hij was nog op niemand van hen gevallen, maar zij waren alleenlijk gedoopt in den Naam van den Heere Jezus.) ¹⁷ Toen legden zij de handen op hen, en zij ontvingen den Heiligen Geest. ¹⁸ En als Simon zag, dat, door de oplegging van de handen der apostelen de Heilige Geest gegeven werd, zo bood hij hun geld aan, ¹⁹ Zeggende: Geeft ook mij deze macht, opdat, zo wien ik de handen opleg, hij den Heiligen Geest ontvange. ²⁰ Maar Petrus zeide tot hem: Uw geld zij met u ten verderve, omdat gij gemeend hebt, dat de gave Gods door geld verkregen wordt! ²¹ Gij hebt geen deel noch lot in dit woord: want uw hart is niet recht voor God. ²² Bekeer u dan van deze uw boosheid, en bid God, of misschien u deze overlegging uws harten vergeven wierd. ²³ Want ik zie, dat gij zijt in een gans bittere gal en samenknoping der ongerechtigheid. ²⁴ Doch Simon, antwoordende, zeide: Bidt gijlieden voor mij tot den Heere, opdat niets over mij kome van hetgeen gij gezegd hebt. ²⁵ Zij dan nu, als zij het Woord des Heeren betuigd en gesproken hadden, keerden wederom naar Jeruzalem, en verkondigden het Evangelie in vele vlekken der Samaritanen. ²⁶ En een engel des Heeren sprak tot Filippus, zeggende: Sta op, en ga heen tegen het zuiden, op den weg, die van Jeruzalem afdaalt naar Gaza, welke woest is. ²⁷ En hij stond op en ging heen; en ziet, een Moorman, een kamerling, en een machtig heer van Candace, de koningin der Moren, die over al haar schat was, welke was gekomen om aan te bidden te Jeruzalem; ²⁸ En hij keerde wederom, en zat op zijn wagen, en las den profeet Jesaja. ²⁹ En de Geest zeide tot Filippus: Ga toe, en voeg u bij dezen wagen. ³⁰ En Filippus liep toe, en hoorde hem den profeet Jesaja lezen, en zeide: Verstaat gij ook, hetgeen gij leest? ³¹ En hij zeide: Hoe zou ik toch kunnen, zo mij niet iemand onderricht? En hij bad Filippus, dat hij zou opkomen, en bij hem zitten. ³² En de plaats der Schriftuur, die hij las, was deze: Hij is gelijk een schaap ter slachting geleid; en gelijk een lam stemmeloos is voor dien, die het scheert, alzo doet Hij Zijn mond niet open. ³³ In Zijn vernedering is Zijn oordeel weggenomen; en wie zal Zijn geslacht verhalen? Want Zijn leven wordt van de aarde weggenomen. ³⁴ En de kamerling antwoordde Filippus en zeide: Ik bid u, van Wien zegt de profeet dit, van zichzelven, of van iemand anders? ³⁵ En Filippus deed zijn mond open en beginnende van diezelfde Schrift, verkondigde hem Jezus. ³⁶ En alzo zij over weg reisden, kwamen zij aan een zeker water; en de kamerling zeide: Ziedaar water; wat verhindert mij gedoopt te worden? ³⁷ En Filippus zeide: Indien gij van ganser harte gelooft, zo is het geoorloofd. En hij, antwoordende, zeide: Ik geloof, dat Jezus Christus de Zoon van God is. ³⁸ En hij gebood den wagen stil te houden; en zij daalden beiden af in het water, zo Filippus als de kamerling, en hij doopte hem. ³⁹ En toen zij uit het water waren opgekomen, nam de Geest des Heeren Filippus weg, en de kamerling zag hem niet meer; want hij reisde zijn weg met blijdschap. ⁴⁰ Maar Filippus werd gevonden, te Azote; en het land doorgaande, verkondigde hij het Evangelie in alle steden, totdat hij te Cesarea kwam.

1 G1161 En G4569 Saulus G2258 G5713 had G4909 G5723 mede een welbehagen G846 aan zijn G336 dood G1161 . En G1096 G5633 er werd G1722 te G1565 dien G2250 dage G3173 een grote G1375 vervolging G1909 tegen G1577 de Gemeente G3588 , die G1722 te G2414 Jeruzalem G5037 was; en G3956 zij werden allen G1289 G5681 verstrooid G2596 door G5561 de landen G2449 van Judea G2532 en G4540 Samaria G4133 , behalve G652 de apostelen.

2 G1161 En G2126 [enige] godvruchtige G435 mannen G4792 G droegen G4736 Stefanus G4792 G5656 te zamen G2532 [ten] [grave] en G4160 G5668 maakten G3173 groten G2870 rouw G1909 over G846 hem.

3 G1161 En G4569 Saulus G3075 G5711 verwoestte G1577 de Gemeente G1531 G5740 G5734 , gaande G2596 in G3624 de huizen G5037 ; en G4951 G5723 trekkende G435 mannen G2532 en G1135 vrouwen G3860 G5707 , leverde hen over G1519 in G5438 de gevangenis.

4 G3767 Zij dan G3303 nu G1289 G5651 , die verstrooid waren G1330 G5627 , gingen [het] [land] door G2097 G5734 , en verkondigden G3056 het Woord.

5 G1161 En G5376 Filippus G2718 G5631 kwam af G1519 in G4172 de stad G4540 van Samaria G2784 G5707 , en predikte G846 hun G5547 Christus.

6 G5037 En G3793 de scharen G4337 G5707 hielden zich G3661 eendrachtelijk G5259 aan hetgeen van G5376 Filippus G3004 G5746 gezegd werd G1722 , dewijl G191 G5721 zij hoorden G2532 en G991 G5721 zagen G4592 de tekenen G3739 , die G4160 G5707 hij deed.

7 G1063 Want G4183 van velen G169 , die onreine G4151 geesten G2192 G5723 hadden G1831 G5711 , gingen [dezelve] uit G994 G5723 , roepende G3173 met grote G5456 stem G1161 ; en G4183 vele G3886 G5772 geraakten G2532 en G5560 kreupelen G2323 G5681 werden genezen.

8 G2532 En G1096 G5633 er werd G3173 grote G5479 blijdschap G1722 in G1565 die G4172 stad.

9 G1161 En G5100 een zeker G435 man G3686 , met name G4613 Simon G4391 G5707 , was te voren G1722 in G4172 de stad G3096 G5723 plegende toverij G2532 , en G1839 G5723 verrukkende de zinnen G1484 des volks G4540 van Samaria G3004 G5723 , zeggende G1438 van zichzelven G5100 , dat hij wat G3173 groots G1511 G5750 was.

10 G3739 Welken G3956 zij allen G4337 G5707 aanhingen G575 , van G3398 den kleine G2193 tot G3173 den grote G3004 G5723 , zeggende G3778 : Deze G2076 G5748 is G3173 de grote G1411 kracht G2316 Gods.

11 G1161 En G4337 G zij hingen G846 hem G4337 G5707 aan G1223 , omdat G2425 hij een langen G5550 tijd G3095 met toverijen G846 hun G1839 G5760 zinnen verrukt had.

12 G1161 Maar G3753 toen G5376 zij Filippus G4100 G5656 geloofden G4012 , die het Evangelie G932 van het Koninkrijk G2316 Gods G2532 , en G3686 [van] den Naam G2424 van Jezus G5547 Christus G2097 G5734 verkondigde G907 G5712 , werden zij gedoopt G5037 , beiden G435 , mannen G2532 en G1135 vrouwen.

13 G1161 En G4613 Simon G4100 G5656 geloofde G2532 ook G846 zelf G2532 , en G907 G5685 gedoopt zijnde G2258 G5713 , bleef G4342 G5723 gedurig G5376 bij Filippus G5037 ; en G2334 G5723 ziende G1411 de tekenen G2532 en G3173 grote G4592 krachten G1096 G5740 , die er geschiedden G1839 G5710 , ontzette hij zich.

14 G1161 Als nu G652 de apostelen G3588 , die G1722 te G2414 Jeruzalem G191 G5660 waren, hoorden G3754 , dat G4540 Samaria G3056 het Woord G2316 Gods G1209 G5766 aangenomen had G649 G5656 , zonden zij G4314 , G846 hen G4074 Petrus G2532 en G2491 Johannes;

15 G3748 Dewelken G2597 G5631 , afgekomen zijnde G4336 G5662 , baden G4012 voor G846 hen G3704 , dat G40 zij den Heiligen G4151 Geest G2983 G5632 ontvangen mochten.

16 G1063 (Want G2258 G5713 Hij was G3768 nog G1909 op G3762 niemand G846 van hen G1968 G5761 gevallen G1161 , maar G5225 G5707 zij waren G3440 alleenlijk G907 G5772 gedoopt G1519 in G3686 den Naam G2962 van den Heere G2424 Jezus.)

17 G5119 Toen G2007 G5707 legden zij G5495 de handen G1909 op G846 hen G2532 , en G2983 G5707 zij ontvingen G40 den Heiligen G4151 Geest.

18 G1161 En G4613 als Simon G2300 G5666 zag G3754 , dat G1223 , door G1936 oplegging G5495 van de handen G652 der apostelen G40 de Heilige G4151 Geest G1325 G5743 gegeven werd G4374 G5656 , zo bood G846 hij hun G5536 geld aan,

19 G3004 G5723 Zeggende G1325 G5628 : Geeft G2504 ook mij G5026 deze G1849 macht G2443 , opdat G302 , zo G3739 wien G5495 ik de handen G2007 G5632 opleg G40 , hij den Heiligen G4151 Geest G2983 G5725 ontvange.

20 G1161 Maar G4074 Petrus G2036 G5627 zeide G4314 tot G846 hem G4675 : Uw G694 geld G1498 G5751 zij G4862 met G4671 u G1519 ten G684 verderve G3754 , omdat G3543 G5656 gij gemeend hebt G1431 , dat de gave G2316 Gods G1223 door G5536 geld G2932 G5738 verkregen wordt!

21 G4671 Gij G2076 G5748 hebt G3756 geen G3310 deel G3761 noch G2819 lot G1722 in G5129 dit G3056 woord G1063 : want G4675 uw G2588 hart G2076 G5748 is G3756 niet G2117 recht G1799 voor G2316 God.

22 G3340 G5657 Bekeer u G3767 dan G575 van G5026 deze G4675 uw G2549 boosheid G2532 , en G1189 G5676 bid G2316 God G1487 , of G686 misschien G4671 u G1963 deze overlegging G4675 uws G2588 harten G863 G5701 vergeven wierd.

23 G1063 Want G3708 G5719 ik zie G4571 , dat gij G5607 G5752 zijt G1519 in G4088 een gans bittere G5521 gal G2532 en G4886 samenknoping G93 der ongerechtigheid.

24 G1161 Doch G4613 Simon G611 G5679 , antwoordende G2036 G5627 , zeide G1189 G5676 : Bidt G5210 gijlieden G5228 voor G1700 mij G4314 tot G2962 den Heere G3704 , opdat G3367 niets G1909 over G1691 mij G1904 G5632 kome G3739 van hetgeen G2046 G5758 gij gezegd hebt.

25 G3767 Zij dan G3303 nu G3056 , als zij het Woord G2962 des Heeren G1263 G5666 betuigd G2532 en G2980 G5660 gesproken G5290 G5656 hadden, keerden G1519 wederom naar G2419 Jeruzalem G5037 , en G2097 G5668 verkondigden het Evangelie G4183 [in] vele G2968 vlekken G4541 der Samaritanen.

26 G1161 En G32 een engel G2962 des Heeren G2980 G5656 sprak G4314 tot G5376 Filippus G3004 G5723 , zeggende G450 G5628 : Sta op G2532 , en G4198 G5737 ga heen G2596 tegen G3314 het zuiden G1909 , op G3598 den weg G575 , die van G2419 Jeruzalem G2597 G5723 afdaalt G1519 naar G1048 Gaza G3778 , welke G2048 woest G2076 G5748 is.

27 G2532 En G450 G5631 hij stond op G4198 G5675 en ging heen G2532 ; en G2400 G5628 ziet G435 G128 , een Moorman G2135 , een kamerling G1413 , [en] een machtig G2582 heer van Candace G938 , de koningin G128 der Moren G3739 , die G1909 over G3956 al G846 haar G1047 schat G2258 G5713 was G2064 G5715 , welke was gekomen G4352 G5694 om aan te bidden G1519 te G2419 Jeruzalem;

28 G5037 En G2258 G5713 G5290 G5723 hij keerde wederom G2532 , en G2521 G5740 zat G1909 op G846 zijn G716 wagen G2532 , en G314 G5707 las G4396 den profeet G2268 Jesaja.

29 G1161 En G4151 de Geest G2036 G5627 zeide G5376 tot Filippus G4334 G5628 : Ga toe G2532 , en G2853 G5682 voeg u G5129 bij dezen G716 wagen.

30 G1161 En G5376 Filippus G4370 G5631 liep toe G191 G5656 , en hoorde G846 hem G4396 den profeet G2268 Jesaja G314 G5723 lezen G2532 , en G2036 G5627 zeide G687 : G1097 G5719 Verstaat gij G1065 ook G3739 , hetgeen G314 G5719 gij leest?

31 G1161 En G2036 G5627 hij zeide G1063 : G4459 Hoe G302 zou ik toch G1410 G5739 kunnen G1437 , zo G3165 mij G3361 niet G5100 iemand G3594 G5661 onderricht G5037 ? En G3870 G5656 hij bad G5376 Filippus G305 G5631 , dat hij zou opkomen G4862 , en bij G846 hem G2523 G5658 zitten.

32 G1161 En G4042 de plaats G1124 der Schriftuur G3739 , die G314 G5707 hij las G2258 G5713 , was G3778 deze G5613 : Hij is gelijk G4263 een schaap G1909 ter G4967 slachting G71 G5681 geleid G2532 ; en G5613 gelijk G286 een lam G880 stemmeloos G1726 is voor G846 dien, die het G2751 G5723 scheert G3779 , alzo G455 G doet G846 Hij Zijn G4750 mond G3756 niet G455 G5719 open.

33 G1722 In G846 Zijn G5014 vernedering G846 is Zijn G2920 oordeel G142 G5681 weggenomen G1161 ; en G5101 wie G846 zal Zijn G1074 geslacht G1334 G5695 verhalen G3754 ? Want G846 Zijn G2222 leven G575 wordt van G1093 de aarde G142 G5743 weggenomen.

34 G1161 En G2135 de kamerling G611 G5679 antwoordde G5376 Filippus G2036 G5627 en zeide G1189 G5736 : Ik bid G4675 u G4012 , van G5101 Wien G3004 G5719 zegt G4396 de profeet G5124 dit G4012 , van G1438 zichzelven G2228 , of G4012 van G5100 iemand G2087 anders?

35 G1161 En G5376 Filippus G455 G deed G846 zijn G4750 mond G455 G5660 open G2532 en G756 G5671 beginnende G575 van G5026 diezelfde G1124 Schrift G2097 G5668 , verkondigde G846 hem G2424 Jezus.

36 G1161 En G5613 alzo G2596 zij over G3598 weg G4198 G5711 reisden G2064 G5627 , kwamen zij G1909 aan G5100 een zeker G5204 water G2532 ; en G2135 de kamerling G5346 G5748 zeide G2400 G5628 : Ziedaar G5204 water G5101 ; wat G2967 G5719 verhindert G3165 mij G907 G5683 gedoopt te worden?

37 G1161 En G5376 Filippus G2036 G5627 zeide G1487 : Indien G1537 gij van G3650 ganser G2588 harte G4100 G5719 gelooft G1832 G5748 , zo is het geoorloofd G1161 . En G611 G5679 hij, antwoordende G2036 G5627 , zeide G4100 G5719 : Ik geloof G2424 , dat Jezus G5547 Christus G5207 de Zoon G2316 van God G1511 G5750 is.

38 G2532 En G2753 G5656 hij gebood G716 den wagen G2476 G5629 stil te houden G2532 ; en G2597 G5627 zij daalden G297 beiden G1519 af in G5204 het water G5037 , zo G5376 Filippus G2532 als G2135 de kamerling G2532 , en G907 G5656 hij doopte G846 hem.

39 G1161 En G3753 toen G1537 zij uit G5204 het water G305 G5627 waren opgekomen G726 G , nam G4151 de Geest G2962 des Heeren G5376 Filippus G726 G5656 weg G2532 , en G2135 de kamerling G1492 G5627 zag G846 hem G3765 niet meer G1063 ; want G4198 G5711 hij reisde G846 zijn G3598 weg G5463 G5723 met blijdschap.

40 G1161 Maar G5376 Filippus G2147 G5681 werd gevonden G1519 , te G108 Azote G2532 ; en G1330 G5740 [het] [land] doorgaande G2097 G5710 , verkondigde hij het Evangelie G3956 [in] alle G4172 steden G2193 , totdat G846 hij G1519 te G2542 Cesarea G2064 G5629 kwam.

et Saul consentait à sa mort. Or en ce temps-là, il y eut une grande persécution contre l'assemblée qui était à Jérusalem; et tous furent dispersés dans les contrées de la Judée et de la Samarie, excepté les apôtres. ² Et des hommes pieux emportèrent Étienne pour l'ensevelir, et menèrent un grand deuil sur lui. ³ Or Saul ravageait l'assemblée, entrant dans les maisons; et traînant hommes et femmes, il les livrait pour être jetés en prison. ⁴
Ceux donc qui avaient été dispersés allaient çà et là, annonçant la parole. ⁵ Philippe, étant descendu dans une ville de la Samarie, leur prêcha le Christ. ⁶ Et les foules, d'un commun accord, étaient attentives aux choses que Philippe disait, l'entendant, et voyant les miracles qu'il faisait; ⁷ car les esprits immondes, criant à haute voix, sortaient de plusieurs qui en étaient possédés; et beaucoup de paralytiques et de boiteux furent guéris; ⁸ et il y eut une grande joie dans cette ville-là. ⁹ Or, avant cela, il y avait dans la ville un homme nommé Simon, qui exerçait la magie et étonnait le peuple de la Samarie, se disant être quelque grand personnage; ¹⁰ auquel tous s'attachaient, depuis le petit jusqu'au grand, disant: Celui-ci est la puissance de Dieu appelée la grande. ¹¹ Et ils s'attachaient à lui, parce que depuis longtemps il les étonnait par sa magie. ¹² Mais quand ils eurent cru Philippe qui leur annonçait les bonnes nouvelles touchant le royaume de Dieu et le nom de Jésus Christ, tant les hommes que les femmes furent baptisés. ¹³ Et Simon crut aussi lui-même; et après avoir été baptisé, il se tenait toujours auprès de Philippe; et voyant les prodiges et les grands miracles qui se faisaient, il était dans l'étonnement. ¹⁴
Or les apôtres qui étaient à Jérusalem, ayant appris que la Samarie avait reçu la parole de Dieu, leur envoyèrent Pierre et Jean, qui, étant descendus, ¹⁵ pour eux, pour qu'ils reçussent l'Esprit Saint: ¹⁶ car il n'était encore tombé sur aucun d'eux, mais seulement ils avaient été baptisés pour le nom du Seigneur Jésus. ¹⁷ Puis ils leur imposèrent les mains, et ils reçurent l'Esprit Saint. ¹⁸ Or Simon, voyant que l'Esprit Saint était donné par l'imposition des mains des apôtres, leur offrit de l'argent, ¹⁹ disant: Donnez-moi aussi ce pouvoir, afin que tous ceux à qui j'imposerai les mains reçoivent l'Esprit Saint. ²⁰ Mais Pierre lui dit: Que ton argent périsse avec toi, parce que tu as pensé acquérir avec de l'argent le don de Dieu. ²¹ Tu n'as ni part ni portion dans cette affaire; car ton coeur n'est pas droit devant Dieu. ²² Repens-toi donc de cette méchanceté, et supplie le Seigneur, afin que, si faire se peut, la pensée de ton coeur te soit pardonnée; ²³ car je vois que tu es dans un fiel d'amertume et dans un lien d'iniquité. ²⁴ Et Simon, répondant, dit: Vous, suppliez le Seigneur pour moi, en sorte que rien ne vienne sur moi de ce dont vous avez parlé. ²⁵ Eux donc, après avoir rendu témoignage et avoir annoncé la parole du Seigneur, s'en retournaient à Jérusalem; et ils évangélisaient plusieurs villages des Samaritains. ²⁶
Et un ange du Seigneur parla à Philippe, disant: Lève-toi, et va vers le midi, sur le chemin qui descend de Jérusalem à Gaza, lequel est désert. ²⁷ Et lui, se levant, s'en alla. Et voici, un Éthiopien, eunuque, homme puissant à la cour de Candace, reine des Éthiopiens, intendant de tous ses trésors, et qui était venu pour adorer à Jérusalem, s'en retournait; ²⁸ et il était assis dans son char et lisait le prophète Ésaïe. ²⁹ Et l'Esprit dit à Philippe: Approche-toi et joins-toi à ce char. ³⁰ Et Philippe étant accouru, l'entendit qui lisait le prophète Ésaïe; ³¹ et il dit: Mais comprends-tu ce que tu lis? Et il dit: Comment donc le pourrais-je, si quelqu'un ne me conduit? Et il pria Philippe de monter et de s'asseoir avec lui. ³² Or le passage de l'écriture qu'il lisait était celui-ci: "Il a été mené comme une brebis à la boucherie; et comme un agneau, muet devant celui qui le tond, ainsi il n'ouvre point sa bouche; ³³ dans son humiliation, son jugement a été ôté; et qui racontera sa génération? car sa vie est ôtée de la terre". ³⁴ Et l'eunuque, répondant, dit à Philippe: Je te prie, de qui le prophète dit-il cela? De lui-même, ou de quelque autre? ³⁵ Et Philippe, ouvrant sa bouche et commençant par cette écriture, lui annonça Jésus. ³⁶ Et comme ils continuaient leur chemin, ils arrivèrent à une eau, et l'eunuque dit: Voici de l'eau, qu'est-ce qui m'empêche d'être baptisé? ³⁷ ³⁸ Et il donna l'ordre qu'on arrêtât le char, et ils descendirent tous deux à l'eau, et Philippe et l'eunuque; et Philippe le baptisa. ³⁹ Et, quand ils furent remontés hors de l'eau, l'Esprit du Seigneur enleva Philippe, et l'eunuque ne le vit plus, car il continua son chemin tout joyeux; ⁴⁰ mais Philippe fut trouvé à Azot; et en passant au travers du pays, il évangélisa toutes les villes, jusqu'à ce qu'il fut arrivé à Césarée.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or Saul consentait à la mort d'Etienne, et en ce temps-là il se fit une grande persécution contre l'Eglise qui était à Jérusalem, et tous furent dispersés dans les quartiers de la Judée et de la Samarie; excepté les Apôtres. ² Et quelques hommes craignant Dieu emportèrent Etienne pour l'ensevelir, et menèrent un grand deuil sur lui. ³ Mais Saul ravageait l'Eglise, entrant dans toutes les maisons, et traînant par force hommes et femmes, il les mettait en prison. ⁴ Ceux donc qui furent dispersés allaient çà et là annonçant la parole de Dieu. ⁵ Et Philippe étant descendu en une ville de Samarie, leur prêcha Christ. ⁶ Et les troupes étaient toutes ensemble attentives à ce que Philippe disait, l'écoutant, et voyant les miracles qu'il faisait. ⁷ Car les esprits immondes sortaient, en criant à haute voix, hors de plusieurs qui en étaient possédés, et beaucoup de paralytiques et de boiteux furent guéris. ⁸ Ce qui causa une grande joie dans cette ville-là. ⁹ Or il y avait auparavant dans la ville un homme nommé Simon qui exerçait l'art d'enchanteur, et ensorcelait le peup1e de Samarie, se disant être quelque grand personnage. ¹⁰ Auquel tous étaient attentifs, depuis le plus petit jusques au plus grand, disant : celui-ci est la grande vertu de Dieu. ¹¹ Et ils étaient attachés à lui, parce que depuis longtemps il les avait éblouis par sa magie. ¹² Mais quand ils eurent cru ce que Philippe leur annonçait touchant le Royaume de Dieu, et le Nom de Jésus-Christ, et les hommes et les femmes furent baptisés. ¹³ Et Simon crut aussi lui-même, et après avoir été baptisé, il ne bougeait d'auprès de Philippe; et voyant les prodiges et les grands miracles qui se faisaient, il était comme ravi hors de lui même. ¹⁴ Or quand les Apôtres qui étaient à Jérusalem, eurent entendu que la Samarie avaient reçu la parole de Dieu, ils leur envoyèrent Pierre et Jean; ¹⁵ Qui y étant descendus prièrent pour eux, afin qu'ils reçussent le Saint-Esprit : ¹⁶ Car il n'était pas encore descendu sur aucun d'eux, mais seulement ils étaient baptisés au Nom du Seigneur Jésus. ¹⁷ Puis ils leur imposèrent les mains, et ils reçurent le Saint-Esprit. ¹⁸ Alors Simon ayant vu que le Saint-Esprit était donné, par l'imposition des mains des Apôtres, il leur présenta de l'argent, ¹⁹ En leur disant : donnez-moi aussi cette puissance, que tous ceux à qui j'imposerai les mains reçoivent le Saint-Esprit. ²⁰ Mais Pierre lui dit : que ton argent périsse avec toi, puisque tu as estimé que le don de Dieu s'acquiert avec de l'argent. ²¹ Tu n'as point de part ni d'héritage en cette affaire : car ton coeur n'est point droit devant Dieu. ²² Repens-toi donc de cette méchanceté, et prie Dieu, afin que s'il est possible, la pensée de ton coeur te soit pardonnée. ²³ Car je vois que tu es dans un fiel très amer, et dans un lien d'iniquité. ²⁴ Alors Simon répondit, et dit : vous, priez le Seigneur pour moi, afin que rien ne vienne sur moi des choses que vous avez dites. ²⁵ Eux donc après avoir prêché et annoncé la parole du Seigneur, retournèrent à Jérusalem, et annoncèrent l'Evangile en plusieurs bourgades des Samaritains. ²⁶ Puis l'Ange du Seigneur parla à Philippe, en disant : lève-toi, et t'en va vers le Midi, au chemin qui descend de Jérusalem à Gaza, celle qui est déserte. ²⁷ Lui donc se levant, s'en alla; et voici un homme Ethiopien, Eunuque, qui était un des principaux Seigneurs de la Cour de Candace, Reine des Ethiopiens, commis sur toutes ses richesses, et qui était venu pour adorer à Jérusalem; ²⁸ S'en retournait, assis dans son chariot; et il lisait le Prophète Esaïe. ²⁹ Et l'Esprit dit à Philippe : approche-toi, et te joins à ce chariot. ³⁰ Et Philippe y étant accouru, il l'entendit lisant le Prophète Esaïe; et il lui dit : mais comprends-tu ce que tu lis ? ³¹ Et il lui dit : mais comment le pourrais-je comprendre, si quelqu'un ne me guide ? et il pria Philippe de monter et s'asseoir avec lui. ³² Or le passage de l'Ecriture qu'il lisait était celui-ci : il a été mené comme une brebis à la boucherie, et comme un agneau muet devant celui qui le tond; en sorte qu'il n'a point ouvert sa bouche. ³³ En son abaissement son jugement a été haussé; mais qui racontera sa durée ? car sa vie est enlevée de la terre. ³⁴ Et l'Eunuque prenant la parole, dit à Philippe : je te prie, de qui est-ce que le Prophète dit cela : est-ce de lui-même, ou de quelque autre ? ³⁵ Alors Philippe ouvrant sa bouche, et commençant par cette Ecriture, lui annonça Jésus. ³⁶ Et comme ils continuaient leur chemin, ils arrivèrent à un lieu où il y avait de l'eau; et l'Eunuque dit : voici de l'eau, qu'est-ce qui empêche que je ne sois baptisé ? ³⁷ Et Philippe dit : si tu crois de tout ton coeur, cela t'est permis; et l'Eunuque répondant, dit : Je crois que Jésus-Christ est le Fils de Dieu. ³⁸ Et ayant commandé qu'on arrêtât le chariot, ils descendirent tous deux dans l'eau, Philippe et l'Eunuque; et Philippe le baptisa. ³⁹ Et quand ils furent remontés hors de l'eau, l'Esprit du Seigneur enleva Philippe, et l'Eunuque ne le vit plus; et tout joyeux il continua son chemin. ⁴⁰ Mais Philippe se trouva dans Azote, et en passant il annonça l'Evangile dans toutes les villes, jusqu'à ce qu'il fût arrivé à Césarée.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul avait approuvé le meurtre d'Etienne. Il y eut, ce jour-là, une grande persécution contre l'Eglise de Jérusalem; et tous, excepté les apôtres, se dispersèrent dans les contrées de la Judée et de la Samarie. ² Des hommes pieux ensevelirent Etienne, et le pleurèrent à grand bruit. ³ Saul, de son côté, ravageait l'Eglise; pénétrant dans les maisons, il en arrachait hommes et femmes, et les faisait jeter en prison. ⁴ Ceux qui avaient été dispersés allaient de lieu en lieu, annonçant la bonne nouvelle de la parole. ⁵ Philippe, étant descendu dans la ville de Samarie, y prêcha le Christ. ⁶ Les foules tout entières étaient attentives à ce que disait Philippe, lorsqu'elles apprirent et virent les miracles qu'il faisait. ⁷ Car des esprits impurs sortirent de plusieurs démoniaques, en poussant de grands cris, et beaucoup de paralytiques et de boiteux furent guéris. ⁸ Et il y eut une grande joie dans cette ville. ⁹ Il y avait auparavant dans la ville un homme nommé Simon, qui, se donnant pour un personnage important, exerçait la magie et provoquait l'étonnement du peuple de la Samarie. ¹⁰ Tous, depuis le plus petit jusqu'au plus grand, l'écoutaient attentivement, et disaient: Celui-ci est la puissance de Dieu, celle qui s'appelle la grande. ¹¹ Ils l'écoutaient attentivement, parce qu'il les avait longtemps étonnés par ses actes de magie. ¹² Mais, quand ils eurent cru à Philippe, qui leur annonçait la bonne nouvelle du royaume de Dieu et du nom de Jésus-Christ, hommes et femmes se firent baptiser. ¹³ Simon lui-même crut, et, après avoir été baptisé, il ne quittait plus Philippe, et il voyait avec étonnement les miracles et les grands prodiges qui s'opéraient. ¹⁴ Les apôtres, qui étaient à Jérusalem, ayant appris que la Samarie avait reçu la parole de Dieu, y envoyèrent Pierre et Jean. ¹⁵ Ceux-ci, arrivés chez les Samaritains, prièrent pour eux, afin qu'ils reçussent le Saint-Esprit. ¹⁶ Car il n'était encore descendu sur aucun d'eux; ils avaient seulement été baptisés au nom du Seigneur Jésus. ¹⁷ Alors Pierre et Jean leur imposèrent les mains, et ils reçurent le Saint-Esprit. ¹⁸ Lorsque Simon vit que le Saint-Esprit était donné par l'imposition des mains des apôtres, il leur offrit de l'argent, ¹⁹ en disant: Accordez-moi aussi ce pouvoir, afin que celui à qui j'imposerai les mains reçoive le Saint-Esprit. ²⁰ Mais Pierre lui dit: Que ton argent périsse avec toi, puisque tu as cru que le don de Dieu s'acquérait à prix d'argent! ²¹ Il n'y a pour toi ni part ni lot dans cette affaire, car ton coeur n'est pas droit devant Dieu. ²² Repens-toi donc de ta méchanceté, et prie le Seigneur pour que la pensée de ton coeur te soit pardonnée, s'il est possible; ²³ car je vois que tu es dans un fiel amer et dans les liens de l'iniquité. ²⁴ Simon répondit: Priez vous-mêmes le Seigneur pour moi, afin qu'il ne m'arrive rien de ce que vous avez dit. ²⁵ Après avoir rendu témoignage à la parole du Seigneur, et après l'avoir prêchée, Pierre et Jean retournèrent à Jérusalem, en annonçant la bonne nouvelle dans plusieurs villages des Samaritains. ²⁶ Un ange du Seigneur, s'adressant à Philippe, lui dit: Lève-toi, et va du côté du midi, sur le chemin qui descend de Jérusalem à Gaza, celui qui est désert. ²⁷ Il se leva, et partit. Et voici, un Ethiopien, un eunuque, ministre de Candace, reine d'Ethiopie, et surintendant de tous ses trésors, venu à Jérusalem pour adorer, ²⁸ s'en retournait, assis sur son char, et lisait le prophète Esaïe. ²⁹ L'Esprit dit à Philippe: Avance, et approche-toi de ce char. ³⁰ Philippe accourut, et entendit l'Ethiopien qui lisait le prophète Esaïe. Il lui dit: Comprends-tu ce que tu lis? ³¹ Il répondit: Comment le pourrais-je, si quelqu'un ne me guide? Et il invita Philippe à monter et à s'asseoir avec lui. ³² Le passage de l'Ecriture qu'il lisait était celui-ci: Il a été mené comme une brebis à la boucherie; Et, comme un agneau muet devant celui qui le tond, Il n'a point ouvert la bouche. ³³ Dans son humiliation, son jugement a été levé. Et sa postérité, qui la dépeindra? Car sa vie a été retranchée de la terre. ³⁴ L'eunuque dit à Philippe: Je te prie, de qui le prophète parle-t-il ainsi? Est-ce de lui-même, ou de quelque autre? ³⁵ Alors Philippe, ouvrant la bouche et commençant par ce passage, lui annonça la bonne nouvelle de Jésus. ³⁶ Comme ils continuaient leur chemin, ils rencontrèrent de l'eau. Et l'eunuque dit: Voici de l'eau; qu'est-ce qui empêche que je sois baptisé? ³⁷ Philippe dit: Si tu crois de tout ton coeur, cela est possible. L'eunuque répondit: Je crois que Jésus-Christ est le Fils de Dieu. ³⁸ Il fit arrêter le char; Philippe et l'eunuque descendirent tous deux dans l'eau, et Philippe baptisa l'eunuque. ³⁹ Quand ils furent sortis de l'eau, l'Esprit du Seigneur enleva Philippe, et l'eunuque ne le vit plus. Tandis que, joyeux, il poursuivait sa route, ⁴⁰ Philippe se trouva dans Azot, d'où il alla jusqu'à Césarée, en évangélisant toutes les villes par lesquelles il passait.

1 G1161 ¶ G4569 Saul G2258 avait G5713 G4909 approuvé G5723 G336 le meurtre G846 d’Etienne G1161 . G1096 Il y eut G5633 G1722 , ce G1565 G2250 jour G3173 -là, une grande G1375 persécution G1909 contre G1577 l’Eglise G3588 de G1722 G2414 Jérusalem G5037 ; et G3956 tous G4133 , excepté G652 les apôtres G1289 , se dispersèrent G5681 G2596 dans G5561 les contrées G2449 de la Judée G2532 et G4540 de la Samarie.

2 G1161 G435 Des hommes G2126 pieux G4792 ensevelirent G5656 G4736 Etienne G2532 , et G1909 le G846 G4160 pleurèrent G5668 G3173 à grand G2870 bruit.

3 G1161 G4569 Saul G3075 , de son côté, ravageait G5711 G1577 l’Eglise G1531 ; pénétrant dans G5740 G5734 G2596 G3624 les maisons G4951 , il en arrachait G5723 G5037 G435 hommes G2532 et G1135 femmes G3860 , et les faisait jeter G5707 G1519 en G5438 prison.

4 G3767 ¶ G3303 G1289 Ceux qui avaient été dispersés G5651 G1330 allaient de lieu en lieu G5627 G2097 , annonçant la bonne nouvelle G5734 G3056 de la parole.

5 G1161 G5376 Philippe G2718 , étant descendu G5631 G1519 dans G4172 la ville G4540 de Samarie G846 , y G2784 prêcha G5707 G5547 le Christ.

6 G5037 G3793 Les foules G3661 tout entières G4337 étaient attentives G5707 G3004 à ce que disait G5746 G5259 G5376 Philippe G1722 , lorsqu’elles apprirent G191 G5721 G2532 et G991 virent G5721 G4592 les miracles G3739 qu G4160 ’il faisait G5707 .

7 G1063 Car G4151 des esprits G169 impurs G1831 sortirent G5711 G4183 de plusieurs G2192 démoniaques G5723 G994 , en poussant G5723 G3173 de grands G5456 cris G1161 , et G4183 beaucoup G3886 de paralytiques G5772 G2532 et G5560 de boiteux G2323 furent guéris G5681 .

8 G2532 Et G1096 il y eut G5633 G3173 une grande G5479 joie G1722 dans G1565 cette G4172 ville.

9 G1161 G4391 Il y avait auparavant G5707 G1722 dans G4172 la ville G5100 un G435 homme G3686 nommé G4613 Simon G1438 , qui, se G3004 donnant G5723 G1511 pour G5750 G5100 un personnage G3173 important G3096 , exerçait la magie G5723 G2532 et G1839 provoquait l’étonnement G5723 G1484 du peuple G4540 de la Samarie.

10 G3956 Tous G575 , depuis G3398 le plus petit G2193 jusqu’au G3173 plus grand G3739 , l G4337 ’écoutaient attentivement G5707 G3004 , et disaient G5723 G3778 : Celui-ci G2076 est G5748 G1411 la puissance G2316 de Dieu G3173 , celle qui s’appelle la grande.

11 G1161 G846 Ils l G4337 ’écoutaient attentivement G5707 G1223 , parce qu G846 ’il les G2425 avait longtemps G5550 G1839 étonnés G5760 G3095 par ses actes de magie.

12 G1161 Mais G3753 , quand G4100 ils eurent cru G5656 G5376 à Philippe G2097 , qui leur annonçait la bonne nouvelle G5734 G4012 du G932 royaume G2316 de Dieu G2532 et G3686 du nom G2424 de Jésus G5547 -Christ G5037 , G435 hommes G2532 et G1135 femmes G907 se firent baptiser G5712 .

13 G1161 G2532 G4613 Simon G846 lui-même G4100 crut G5656 G2532 , et G907 , après avoir été baptisé G5685 G2258 , il ne quittait G5713 G4342 G5723 G5376 plus Philippe G5037 , et G2334 il voyait G5723 G1839 avec étonnement G5710 G1411 les miracles G2532 et G3173 les grands G4592 prodiges G1096 qui s’opéraient G5740 G5625 G1096 G5740 .

14 G1161 ¶ G652 Les apôtres G3588 , qui G1722 étaient à G2414 Jérusalem G191 , ayant appris G5660 G3754 que G4540 la Samarie G1209 avait reçu G5766 G3056 la parole G2316 de Dieu G4314 , y G846 G649 envoyèrent G5656 G4074 Pierre G2532 et G2491 Jean.

15 G3748 Ceux-ci G2597 , arrivés G5631 G4336 chez les Samaritains, prièrent G5662 G4012 pour G846 eux G3704 , afin qu G2983 ’ils reçussent G5632 G40 le Saint G4151 -Esprit.

16 G1063 Car G2258 il n’était G5713 G3768 encore G1968 descendu G5761 G1909 sur G3762 aucun G846 d’eux G5225 ; ils avaient G5707 G3440 seulement G1161 G907 été baptisés G5772 G1519 au G3686 nom G2962 du Seigneur G2424 Jésus.

17 G5119 Alors G1909 Pierre et Jean leur G846 G2007 imposèrent G5707 G5495 les mains G2532 , et G2983 ils reçurent G5707 G40 le Saint G4151 -Esprit.

18 G1161 G4613 Lorsque Simon G2300 vit G5666 G3754 que G40 le Saint G4151 -Esprit G1325 était donné G5743 G1223 par G1936 l’imposition G5495 des mains G652 des apôtres G846 , il leur G4374 offrit G5656 G5536 de l’argent,

19 G3004 en disant G5723 G1325 : Accordez G5628 G2504 -moi aussi G5026 ce G1849 pouvoir G2443 , afin que G3739 celui à qui G302 G2007 j’imposerai G5632 G5495 les mains G2983 reçoive G5725 G40 le Saint G4151 -Esprit.

20 G1161 Mais G4074 Pierre G4314 lui G846 G2036 dit G5627 G4675 : Que ton G694 argent G1498 périsse G5751 G1519 G684 G4862 avec G4671 toi G3754 , puisque G3543 tu as cru G5656 G1431 que le don G2316 de Dieu G2932 s’acquérait G5738 G1223 à G5536 prix d’argent !

21 G2076 Il n’y a G5748 G4671 pour toi G3756 ni G3310 part G3761 ni G2819 lot G1722 dans G5129 cette G3056 affaire G1063 , car G4675 ton G2588 cœur G2076 n’est G5748 G3756 pas G2117 droit G1799 devant G2316 Dieu.

22 G3340 Repens-toi G5657 G3767 donc G575 de G4675 ta G5026 G2549 méchanceté G2532 , et G1189 prie G5676 G2962 le Seigneur G1963 pour que la pensée G4675 de ton G2588 cœur G4671 te G863 soit pardonnée G5701 G1487 , s G686 ’il est possible ;

23 G1063 car G3708 je vois G5719 G4571 que tu G5607 es G5752 G1519 dans G5521 un fiel G4088 amer G2532 et G4886 dans les liens G93 de l’iniquité.

24 G1161 G4613 Simon G611 répondit G5679 G2036 G5627 G1189 : Priez G5676 G5210 vous-mêmes G4314 G2962 le Seigneur G5228 pour G1700 moi G3704 , afin qu G1909 ’il ne m G1691 G1904 ’arrive G5632 G3367 rien G3739 de ce que G2046 vous avez dit G5758 .

25 G3767 G3303 Après G1263 avoir rendu témoignage G5666 G3056 à la parole G2962 du Seigneur G2532 , et G2980 après l’avoir prêchée G5660 G5290 , Pierre et Jean retournèrent G5656 G1519 à G2419 Jérusalem G5037 , G2097 en annonçant la bonne nouvelle G5668 G4183 dans plusieurs G2968 villages G4541 des Samaritains.

26 G1161 ¶ G32 Un ange G2962 du Seigneur G2980 , s’adressant G5656 G4314 à G5376 Philippe G3004 , lui dit G5723 G450 : Lève-toi G5628 G2532 , et G4198 va G5737 G2596 du côté G3314 du midi G1909 , sur G3598 le chemin G2597 qui descend G5723 G575 de G2419 Jérusalem G1519 à G1048 Gaza G3778 , celui G2076 qui est G5748 G2048 désert.

27 G450 Il se leva G5631 G2532 , et G4198 partit G5675 G2532 . Et G2400 voici G5628 G435 , un Ethiopien G128 G2135 , un eunuque G1413 , ministre G2582 de Candace G938 , reine G128 d’Ethiopie G3739 , et surintendant G2258 G5713 G1909 G3956 de tous G846 ses G1047 trésors G2064 , venu G5715 G1519 à G2419 Jérusalem G4352 pour adorer G5694 ,

28 G5037 G2258 s’en retournait G5713 G5290 G5723 G2532 , G2521 assis G5740 G1909 sur G846 son G716 char G2532 , et G314 lisait G5707 G4396 le prophète G2268 Esaïe.

29 G1161 G4151 L’Esprit G2036 dit G5627 G5376 à Philippe G4334 : Avance G5628 G2532 , et G2853 approche-toi G5682 G5129 de ce G716 char.

30 G1161 G5376 Philippe G4370 accourut G5631 G191 , et entendit G5656 G846 l’Ethiopien G314 qui lisait G5723 G4396 le prophète G2268 Esaïe G2532 . G2036 Il lui dit G5627 G687 : Comprends-tu G1065 G1097 G5719 G3739 ce G314 que tu lis G5719 ?

31 G1161 G2036 Il répondit G5627 G1063 : G4459 Comment G1410 le pourrais G5739 G302 -je G3362 , si G5100 quelqu’un G3165 ne me G3594 guide G5661 G5037 ? Et G3870 il invita G5656 G5376 Philippe G305 à monter G5631 G2523 et à s’asseoir G5658 G4862 avec G846 lui.

32 G1161 G4042 Le passage G1124 de l’Ecriture G3739 qu G314 ’il lisait G5707 G2258 était G5713 G3778 celui-ci G71 : Il a été mené G5681 G5613 comme G4263 une brebis G1909 à G4967 la boucherie G2532 ; Et G5613 , comme G286 un agneau G880 muet G1726 devant G846 celui qui le G2751 tond G5723 G3779 , G846 Il G3756 n’a point G455 ouvert G5719 G4750 la bouche.

33 G1722 Dans G846 son G5014 humiliation G846 , son G2920 jugement G142 a été levé G5681 G1161 . Et G846 sa G1074 postérité G5101 , qui G1334 la dépeindra G5695 G3754 ? Car G846 sa G2222 vie G142 a été retranchée G5743 G575 de G1093 la terre.

34 G1161 G2135 L’eunuque G611 dit G5679 G2036 G5627 G5376 à Philippe G4675 : Je te G1189 prie G5736 G4012 , de G5101 qui G4396 le prophète G3004 parle-t-il G5719 G5124 ainsi G4012 ? Est-ce de G1438 lui-même G2228 , ou G4012 de G5100 quelque G2087 autre ?

35 G1161 Alors G5376 Philippe G455 , ouvrant G5660 G846 la G4750 bouche G2532 et G756 commençant G5671 G575 par G5026 ce G1124 passage G846 , lui G2097 annonça la bonne nouvelle G5668 G2424 de Jésus.

36 G1161 G5613 Comme G4198 ils continuaient G5711 G2596 G3598 leur chemin G2064 , ils rencontrèrent G5627 G1909 G5100 de l’eau G5204 G2532 . Et G2135 l’eunuque G5346 dit G5748 G2400 : Voici G5628 G5204 de l’eau G5101 ; qu G2967 ’est-ce qui empêche G5719 G3165 que je G907 sois baptisé G5683 ?

37 G1161 G5376 Philippe G2036 dit G5627 G1487 : Si G4100 tu crois G5719 G1537 de G3650 tout G2588 ton cœur G1832 , cela est possible G5748 G1161 . G611 L’eunuque répondit G5679 G2036 G5627 G4100 : Je crois G5719 G2424 que Jésus G5547 -Christ G1511 est G5750 G5207 le Fils G2316 de Dieu.

38 G2532 G2753 Il fit G5656 G2476 arrêter G5629 G716 le char G2532 ; G5037 G5376 Philippe G2532 et G2135 l’eunuque G2597 descendirent G5627 G297 tous deux G1519 dans G5204 l’eau G2532 , et G907 Philippe baptisa G5656 G846 l’eunuque.

39 G1161 G3753 Quand G305 ils furent sortis G5627 G1537 de G5204 l’eau G4151 , l’Esprit G2962 du Seigneur G726 enleva G5656 G5376 Philippe G2532 , et G2135 l’eunuque G846 ne le G1492 vit G5627 G3756 G3765 plus G1063 . Tandis G5463 que, joyeux G5723 G4198 , il poursuivait G5711 G846 sa G3598 route,

40 G1161 G5376 Philippe G2147 se trouva G5681 G1519 dans G108 Azot G2532 , G846 d’où il G2064 alla G5629 G2193 jusqu G1519 ’à G2542 Césarée G2097 , en évangélisant G5710 G3956 toutes G4172 les villes G1330 par lesquelles il passait G5740 .

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y Saulo consentía en su muerte. Y en aquel día se hizo una gran persecución en la Iglesia que estaba en Jerusalén; y todos fueron esparcidos por las tierras de Judea y de Samaria, salvo los apóstoles. ² Y llevaron a enterrar a Esteban varones píos, e hicieron gran llanto sobre él. ³ Entonces Saulo asolaba la Iglesia, entrando por las casas; y trayendo hombres y mujeres, los entregaba en la cárcel. ⁴ Mas los que fueron esparcidos, pasaban por la tierra anunciando la Palabra del Evangelio. ⁵ Entonces Felipe, descendiendo a la ciudad de Samaria, les predicaba el Cristo. ⁶ Y el pueblo escuchaba atentamente unánimes las cosas que decía Felipe, oyendo y viendo las señales que hacía. ⁷ Porque muchos espíritus inmundos, salían de los que los tenían, dando grandes voces; y muchos paralíticos y cojos eran sanados; ⁸ así que había gran gozo en aquella ciudad. ⁹ Y había un hombre llamado Simón, el cual antes ejercía la magia en aquella ciudad, y había engañado la gente de Samaria, diciéndose ser algún grande; ¹⁰ al cual oían todos atentamente, desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande, diciendo: Esta es la gran virtud de Dios. ¹¹ Y le estaban atentos, porque con sus artes mágicas los había entontecido mucho tiempo. ¹² Pero cuando creyeron a Felipe, que les anunciaba el Evangelio del Reino de Dios y el Nombre de Jesús el Cristo, se bautizaban hombres y mujeres. ¹³ El mismo Simón creyó también entonces, y bautizándose, se llegó a Felipe; y viendo los milagros y grandes maravillas que se hacían, estaba atónito. ¹⁴ Y los apóstoles que estaban en Jerusalén, habiendo oído que Samaria había recibido la palabra de Dios, les enviaron a Pedro y a Juan; ¹⁵ los cuales venidos, oraron por ellos, para que recibiesen el Espíritu Santo; ¹⁶ (porque aún no había descendido en ninguno de ellos, mas solamente eran bautizados en el Nombre de Jesus.) ¹⁷ Entonces les impusieron las manos, y recibieron el Espíritu Santo. ¹⁸ Cuando vio Simón que por la imposición de las manos de los apóstoles se daba el Espíritu Santo, les ofreció dinero, ¹⁹ diciendo: Dadme también a mí esta potestad, que a cualquiera que pusiere las manos encima, reciba el Espíritu Santo. ²⁰ Entonces Pedro le dijo: Tu dinero perezca contigo, qué piensas que el don de Dios se gana por dinero. ²¹ No tienes tú parte ni suerte en este negocio; porque tu corazón no es recto delante de Dios. ²² Arrepiéntete pues de ésta tu maldad, y ruega a Dios, si quizás te será perdonado este pensamiento de tu corazón. ²³ Porque en hiel de amargura y en prisión de maldad veo que estás. ²⁴ Respondiendo entonces Simón, dijo: Rogad vosotros por mí al Señor, que ninguna cosa de éstas que habéis dicho, venga sobre mí. ²⁵ Y ellos, habiendo testificado y hablado la Palabra de Dios, se volvieron a Jerusalén, y en muchas tierras de los samaritanos anunciaron el Evangelio. ²⁶ Y el ángel del Señor habló a Felipe, diciendo: Levántate y ve hacia el mediodía, al camino que desciende de Jerusalén a Gaza, el cual es desierto. ²⁷ Entonces él se levantó, y fue; y he aquí un Etíope, eunuco, gobernador de Candace, reina de los Etíopes, el cual era puesto sobre todos sus tesoros, y había venido a adorar a Jerusalén, ²⁸ y se volvía sentado en su carro, y leyendo al profeta Isaías. ²⁹ Y el Espíritu dijo a Felipe: Llégate, y júntate a este carro. ³⁰ Y acudiendo Felipe, le oyó que leía al profeta Isaías, y dijo: Pero ¿entiendes lo que lees? ³¹ Y dijo: ¿Y cómo podré, si alguno no me enseñare? Y rogó a Felipe que subiese, y se sentase con él. ³² Y el lugar de la Escritura que leía, era éste: Como oveja a la muerte fue llevado; y como cordero mudo delante del que le trasquila, así no abrió su boca; ³³ en su humillación su juicio fue quitado; mas su generación, ¿Quién la contará? Porque es quitada de la tierra su vida. ³⁴ Y respondiendo el eunuco a Felipe, dijo: Te ruego ¿de quién dice el profeta esto? ¿De sí, o de alguno otro? ³⁵ Entonces Felipe, abriendo su boca, y comenzando desde esta escritura, le anunció el Evangelio de Jesus. ³⁶ Y yendo por el camino, llegaron a cierta agua; y dijo el eunuco: He aquí agua; ¿qué impide que yo sea bautizado? ³⁷ Y Felipe dijo: Si crees de todo corazón, bien puedes. Y respondiendo él, dijo: Creo que Jesus, el Cristo, es Hijo de Dios. ³⁸ Y mandó parar el carro; y descendieron ambos al agua, Felipe y el eunuco; y le bautizó. ³⁹ Cuando subieron del agua, el Espíritu del Señor arrebató a Felipe; y no le vio más el eunuco, y se fue por su camino gozoso. ⁴⁰ Felipe empero se halló en Azoto; y pasando, anunciaba el Evangelio en todas las ciudades, hasta que llegó a Cesarea.

ReinaValera⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y SAULO consentía en su muerte.

Në atë kohë u bë një përndjekje e madhe kundër kishës që ishte në Jeruzalem; dhe të gjithë u shpërndanë nëpër krahinat e Judesë dhe të Samarisë, me përjashtim të apostujve. ² Disa njerëz të përshpirtshëm e varrosën Stefanin dhe bënë gjëmë të madhe për të. ³ Por Sauli po shkatërronte kishën: hynte shtëpi më shtëpi, merrte me vete burra dhe gra dhe i fuste në burg. ⁴ Ata, pra, që ishin shpërndarë shkonin rreth e përqark, duke shpallur fjalën. ⁵ Dhe Filipi zbriti në qytetin e Samarisë dhe u predikoi atyre Krishtin. ⁶ Dhe turmat, me një mendje të vetme, dëgjonin me vëmendje gjërat që thoshte Filipi, duke dëgjuar dhe duke parë mrekullitë që ai bënte. ⁷ Frymëra të ndyra, pra, dilnin nga shumë të idemonizuar, duke bërtitur me zë të lartë; dhe shumë të paralizuar e të çalë shëroheshin. ⁸ Dhe në atë qytet u bë gëzim i madh. ⁹ Prej kohësh në atë qytet ishte një njeri që quhej Simon, i cili merrej me magji dhe i bënte të çuditeshin njerëzit e Samarisë, gjoja sikur ishte njeri i madh. ¹⁰ Dhe të gjithë, nga më i madhi te më i vogli, ia vinin veshin, duke thënë: ''Ky është fuqia e madhe e Perëndisë''. ¹¹ Dhe e dëgjonin, sepse prej një kohe të gjatë ai i kishte mahnitur me mjeshtrinë e tij prej magjistari. ¹² Por, kur i besuan Filipit, që shpalli lajmin e mirë të gjërave të mbretërisë së Perëndisë dhe emrin e Jezu Krishtit, burra dhe gra u pagëzuan. ¹³ Besoi edhe Simoni dhe, mbasi u pagëzua, rrinte vazhdimisht me Filipin; dhe, duke parë veprat e fuqishme dhe shenjat që ishin bërë, mbeti i çuditur. ¹⁴ Por kur apostujt dëgjuan në Jeruzalem se Samaria kishte pranuar fjalën e Perëndisë, i dërguan atyre Pjetrin dhe Gjonin. ¹⁵ Kur këta arritën, u lutën për ta, që të merrnin Frymën e Shenjtë, ¹⁶ sepse ende nuk kishte zbritur mbi asnjë prej tyre, por ata vetëm ishin pagëzuar në emër të Zotit Jezus. ¹⁷ Atëherë vunë duart mbi ta dhe ata morën Frymën e Shenjtë. ¹⁸ Dhe Simoni, kur pa se me vënien e duarve të apostujve jepej Fryma e Shenjtë, u ofroi atyre para, ¹⁹ duke thënë: ''Ma jepni edhe mua këtë pushtet, që ai të cilit do t'i vë duart, të marrë Frymën e Shenjtë''. ²⁰ Por Pjetri i tha: ''Le të humbasë paraja jote dhe ti bashkë me të, sepse ti mendove se mund ta blesh me para dhuratën e Perëndisë. ²¹ Ti nuk ke as pjesë as short në këtë gjë, sepse zemra jote nuk është e drejtë përpara Perëndisë. ²² Pendohu, pra, për këtë ligësi që ke dhe lutju Perëndisë që, po të jetë e mundur, të të falet mendimi i zemrës sate. ²³ Sepse unë të shoh se je në vrerin e hidhësisë dhe në prangat e paudhësisë''. ²⁴ Dhe Simoni, duke u përgjigjur, tha: ''Lutjuni ju Zotit për mua, që të mos më ndodhë asgjë nga ato që thatë''. ²⁵ Ata, pra, pasi dhanë dëshmi dhe predikuan fjalën e Zotit, u kthyen në Jeruzalem, mbasi ungjillzuan shumë fshatra të Samaritanëve. ²⁶ Dhe një engjëll i Zotit i foli Filipit, duke i thënë: ''Çohu dhe shko drejt jugut, në rrugën që nga Jeruzalemi zbret në Gaza; ajo është e shkretë''. ²⁷ Ai u ngrit dhe u nis; dhe ja, një njeri Etiopas, eunuk, një zyrtar i lartë i Kandaces, mbretëreshës së Etiopisë, përgjegjës i të gjitha thesareve të saj, i cili kishte ardhur në Jeruzalem për të adhuruar. ²⁸ Tani ai po kthehej dhe, i ulur në karrocën e vet, lexonte profetin Isaia. ²⁹ Dhe Fryma i tha Filipit: ''Afrohu dhe arrije atë karrocë!''. ³⁰ Filipi iu turr afër dhe, duke dëgjuar se po lexonte profetin Isaia, i tha: ''A e kupton atë që lexon?''. ³¹ Ai tha: ''E si do të mundja, po s'pata një që të më udhëzojë?''. Pastaj iu lut Filipit të hipë dhe të ulet pranë tij. ³² Por pjesa e Shkrimit që ai po lexonte ishte kjo: ''Atë e çuan si delja në thertore; dhe ashtu si qengji është memec përpara qethtarit, kështu ai nuk e hapi gojën e vet. ³³ Në përuljen e tij iu mohua çfarëdolloj drejtësie; po kush do të mund ta përshkruajë brezin e tij? Sepse jeta e tij u hoq nga toka''. ³⁴ Dhe eunuku iu kthye Filipit dhe tha: ''Të lutem, për kë e thotë profeti këtë? Për veten e vet apo për ndonjë tjetër?''. ³⁵ Atëherë e mori fjalën Filipi dhe, duke filluar nga ky Shkrim, i shpalli Jezusin. ³⁶ Dhe, ndërsa po vazhdonin rrugën, arritën në një vend me ujë. Dhe eunuku tha: ''Ja uji! Çfarë më pengon të pagëzohem?''. ³⁷ Dhe Filipi tha: ''Nëse ti beson me gjithë zemër, mund ta bësh''. Dhe ai u përgjigj duke thënë: ''Unë besoj se Jezu Krishti është Biri i Perëndisë''. ³⁸ Urdhëroi atëherë të ndalet karroca, dhe të dy, Filipi dhe eunuku, zbritën në ujë dhe ai e pagëzoi. ³⁹ Kur dolën nga uji, Fryma e Zotit e rrëmbeu Filipin dhe eunuku nuk e pa më; por e vazhdoi rrugën e tij me plot gëzim. ⁴⁰ Por Filipi u gjet në Azot; dhe, duke vazhduar, ungjillëzoi të gjitha qytetet, derisa arriti në Cezare.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Савл же одобрял убиение его. В тедни произошло великое гонение на церковь в Иерусалиме; ивсе, кроме Апостолов, рассеялись по разным местам Иудеи и Самарии. ² Стефана же погребли мужи благоговейные, и сделаливеликий плач по нем. ³ А Савл терзал церковь, входя в домы и влача мужчин и женщин, отдавал в темницу. ⁴ Между тем рассеявшиеся ходили и благовествовали слово. ⁵ Так Филипп пришел в город Самарийский и проповедывалим Христа. ⁶ Народ единодушно внимал тому, что говорил Филипп, слыша и видя, какие он творил чудеса. ⁷ Ибо нечистые духи из многих, одержимых ими, выходили с великим воплем, а многие расслабленные и хромые исцелялись. ⁸ И была радость великая в том городе. ⁹ Находился же в городе некоторый муж, именем Симон, который перед тем волхвовал и изумлял народ Самарийский, выдавая себя закого-то великого. ¹⁰ Ему внимали все, от малого до большого, говоря: сей есть великая сила Божия. ¹¹ А внимали ему потому, что он немалое время изумлял их волхвованиями. ¹² Но, когда поверили Филиппу, благовествующему о Царствии Божием и о имени Иисуса Христа, то крестились и мужчины иженщины. ¹³ Уверовал и сам Симон и, крестившись, не отходил от Филиппа; и, видя совершающиеся великие силы и знамения, изумлялся. ¹⁴ Находившиеся в Иерусалиме Апостолы, услышав, что Самаряне приняли слово Божие, послали к ним Петра и Иоанна, ¹⁵ которые, придя, помолились о них, чтобы они приняли Духа Святаго. ¹⁶ Ибо Он не сходил еще ни на одного из них, а только были они крещены во имя Господа Иисуса. ¹⁷ Тогда возложили руки на них, и они приняли Духа Святаго. ¹⁸ Симон же, увидев, что через возложение рук Апостольских подается Дух Святый, принес им деньги, ¹⁹ говоря: дайте и мне власть сию, чтобы тот, на кого я возложу руки, получал Духа Святаго. ²⁰ Но Петр сказал ему: серебро твое да будет в погибель с тобою, потому что ты помыслил дар Божий получить за деньги. ²¹ Нет тебе в сем части и жребия, ибо сердце твое неправо пред Богом. ²² Итак покайся в сем грехе твоем, и молись Богу: может быть, опустится тебе помысел сердца твоего; ²³ ибо вижу тебя исполненного горькой желчи и в узахнеправды. ²⁴ Симон же сказал в ответ: помолитесь вы за меня Господу, дабы не постигло меня ничто из сказанного вами. ²⁵ Они же, засвидетельствовав и проповедав слово Господне, обратно пошли в Иерусалим и во многих селениях Самарийских проповедали Евангелие. ²⁶ А Филиппу Ангел Господень сказал: встань и иди на полдень, на дорогу, идущую из Иерусалима в Газу, на ту, которая пуста. ²⁷ Он встал и пошел. И вот, муж Ефиоплянин, евнух, вельможа Кандакии, царицы Ефиопской, хранитель всех сокровищ ее, приезжавший в Иерусалим для поклонения, ²⁸ возвращался и, сидя на колесницесвоей, читал пророка Исаию. ²⁹ Дух сказал Филиппу: подойди и пристань к сей колеснице. ³⁰ Филипп подошел и, услышав, что он читает пророка Исаию, сказал: разумеешь ли, что читаешь? ³¹ Он сказал: как могу разуметь, если кто не наставит меня? и попросил Филиппа взойти и сесть с ним. ³² А место из Писания, которое он читал, было сие: как овца, веден был Он на заклание, и, как агнец пред стригущим его безгласен, так Он не отверзает уст Своих. ³³ В уничижении Его суд Его совершился. Но род Его кто разъяснит? ибо вземлется от земли жизнь Его. ³⁴ Евнух же сказал Филиппу: прошу тебя сказать : о ком пророк говорит это? о себе ли, или о ком другом? ³⁵ Филипп отверз уста свои и, начав от сего Писания, благовествовал ему об Иисусе. ³⁶ Между тем, продолжая путь, они приехали к воде; и евнух сказал: вот вода; что препятствуетмне креститься? ³⁷ Филипп же сказал ему: если веруешь от всего сердца, можно. Он сказал в ответ: верую, что Иисус Христос есть Сын Божий. ³⁸ И приказал остановить колесницу, и сошли оба в воду, Филипп и евнух; и крестил его. ³⁹ Когда же они вышли из воды, Дух Святый сошел на евнуха, а Филиппа восхитил Ангел Господень, и евнух уже не видел его, и продолжал путь, радуясь. ⁴⁰ А Филипп оказался в Азоте и, проходя, благовествовал всем городам, пока пришел в Кесарию.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ А Савел одобряваше убиването му. И в онзи ден се надигна голямо гонение срещу църквата в Ерусалим; и те всички, с изключение на апостолите, се разпръснаха по юдейските и самарийските области. ² А благочестиви хора погребаха Стефан и много го оплакваха. ³ А Савел опустошаваше църквата, като влизаше във всяка къща и отвличаше мъже и жени, и ги предаваше в тъмница. ⁴ А тези, които се бяха разпръснали, обикаляха и благовестяваха словото. ⁵ Така Филип слезе в град Самария и им проповядваше Христос. ⁶ И множествата единодушно внимаваха в това, което им говореше Филип, като слушаха и виждаха знаменията, които вършеше. ⁷ Защото нечисти духове, като викаха със силен глас, излизаха от мнозина, които ги имаха; и мнозина парализирани и недъгави бяха изцелени. ⁸ И голяма радост настана в онзи град. ⁹ А имаше един човек на име Симон, който преди това правеше магии и смайваше народа на Самария, като представяше себе си за нещо голямо, ¹⁰ в когото внимаваха всички – от най-малкия до най-големия – като казваха: Този е великата Божия сила. ¹¹ И внимаваха в него, понеже дълго време ги беше смайвал с магиите си. ¹² Но когато повярваха на Филип, който благовестяваше за Божието царство и Името на Иисус Христос, се кръщаваха и мъже, и жени. ¹³ Самият Симон също повярва и като се кръсти, постоянно придружаваше Филип и се удивляваше, като гледаше знаменията и великите чудеса, които се вършеха. ¹⁴ А като чуха апостолите, които бяха в Ерусалим, че Самария приела Божието слово, изпратиха там Петър и Йоан, ¹⁵ които, като слязоха, се помолиха за тях, за да приемат Светия Дух; ¹⁶ защото Той не беше слязъл още върху нито един от тях, а те бяха само кръстени в Името на Иисус Христос. ¹⁷ Тогава апостолите полагаха ръце на тях и те приемаха Светия Дух. ¹⁸ А Симон, като видя, че с полагането на ръцете на апостолите се даваше Светият Дух, им донесе пари, ¹⁹ като каза: Дайте и на мен тази власт, така че на когото положа ръце, да приема Светия Дух! ²⁰ А Петър му каза: Парите ти заедно с теб да погинат, защото си помислил, че Божият дар може да се купи с пари. ²¹ Ти нямаш нито участие, нито право в това нещо, защото сърцето ти не е искрено пред Бога. ²² Затова, покай се от това твое нечестие и се моли на Господа, дано да ти се прости това намерение на сърцето ти; ²³ понеже виждам, че си изпълнен с горчива жлъч и си вързан в неправда. ²⁴ А Симон в отговор каза: Молете се вие на Господа за мен и дано не ме постигне нищо от онова, което казахте. ²⁵ И след като свидетелстваха и разгласяваха Господното слово, те се върнаха в Ерусалим, като благовестваха в много самарийски села. ²⁶ А Господен ангел говори на Филип и каза: Стани, иди към юг, по пътя, който слиза от Ерусалим през пустинята за Газа. ²⁷ И той стана и отиде. И ето, човек от Етиопия, скопец, велможа на етиопската царица Кандакия, който беше поставен над цялото й съкровище, беше дошъл в Ерусалим да се поклони ²⁸ и се връщаше, като седеше в колесницата си и четеше пророк Исая. ²⁹ А Духът каза на Филип: Приближи се и придружи тази колесница. ³⁰ И Филип се завтече и го чу, като четеше пророк Исая, и каза: Разбираш ли това, което четеш? ³¹ А той каза: Как мога, ако не ме упъти някой? И помоли Филип да се качи и да седне с него. ³² А мястото от Писанието, което четеше, беше това: ?Като овца беше заведен на клане; и както агне пред стригача си не издава глас, така не отваря устата Си. ³³ При унижението Му Той беше лишен от праведен съд, а рода Му – кой ще го изкаже? Защото се взе животът Му от земята.“ ³⁴ И скопецът заговори и каза на Филип: Моля ти се, за кого говори това пророкът – за себе си или за някой друг? ³⁵ А Филип отвори уста и като започна от това писание, му благовести за Иисус. ³⁶ И като вървяха по пътя, дойдоха до една вода. И скопецът каза: Ето вода, какво ми пречи да се кръстя? ³⁷ (И Филип каза: Ако вярваш с цялото си сърце, можеш. А той в отговор каза: Вярвам, че Иисус Христос е Божият Син.) ³⁸ Тогава заповяда да се спре колесницата и двамата – и Филип, и скопецът – слязоха във водата, и той го кръсти. ³⁹ А когато излязоха от водата, Господният Дух грабна Филип и скопецът вече не го видя, а продължи по пътя си с радост. ⁴⁰ А Филип се намери в Азот; и като минаваше, проповядваше благовестието по всичките градове, докато стигна в Кесария.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Savao je pristao da se Stjepan smakne. U onaj dan navali velik progon na Crkvu u Jeruzalemu. Svi se osim apostola raspršiše po krajevima judejskim i samarijskim. ² Bogobojazni su ljudi pokopali Stjepana i održali veliko žalovanje za njim. ³ Savao je pak pustošio Crkvu: ulazio je u kuće, odvlačio muževe i žene i predavao ih u tamnicu. ⁴ Oni dakle što su se raspršili obilazili su navješćujući Riječ. ⁵ Filip tako siđe u grad samarijski i stade im propovijedati Krista. ⁶ Mnoštvo je jednodušno prihvaćalo što je Filip govorio slušajući ga i gledajući znamenja koja je činio. ⁷ Doista, iz mnogih su opsjednutih izlazili nečisti duhovi vičući iza glasa, a ozdravljali su i mnogi uzeti i hromi. ⁸ Nasta tako velika radost u onome gradu. ⁹ Čovjek se neki, imenom Šimun, u gradu već duže bavio čarobnjaštvom i opčaravao narod tvrdeći da je neki veliki. ¹⁰ Priklanjalo mu se sve, malo i veliko, te govorilo: "Ovaj je Snaga Božja, zvana Velika." ¹¹ A priklanjahu mu se jer ih je duže vremena opčaravao svojim vradžbinama. ¹² Ali kad povjerovaše Filipu koji navješćivaše evanđelje o kraljevstvu Božjemu i o imenu Isusa Krista, krštavahu se - muževi i žene. ¹³ Povjerova i Šimun te se krsti i osta uz Filipa: bio je zanesen promatrajući znamenja i čudesa koja su se događala. ¹⁴ Kad su apostoli u Jeruzalemu čuli da je Samarija prigrlila riječ Božju, poslaše k njima Petra i Ivana. ¹⁵ Oni siđoše i pomoliše se za njih da bi primili Duha Svetoga. ¹⁶ Jer još ni na koga od njih ne bijaše sišao; bijahu samo kršteni u ime Gospodina Isusa. ¹⁷ Tada polagahu ruke na njih i oni primahu Duha Svetoga. ¹⁸ Kad Šimun vidje da se polaganjem ruku apostolskih daje Duh, ponudi apostolima novaca ¹⁹ govoreći: "Dajte i meni tu moć da svatko na koga položim ruke primi Duha Svetoga." ²⁰ Petar mu odvrati: "Novac tvoj zajedno s tobom propao kad si mislio dar Božji novcima steći! ²¹ Nema tebi ovdje dijela ni udjela jer tvoje srce nije pravo pred Bogom! ²² Obrati se od te opakosti svoje i moli Gospodina ne bi li ti se kako oprostila namisao srca tvoga. ²³ Ta gledam te: žučju si gorak i nepravdom okovan." ²⁴ Šimun odgovori: "Molite i vi za me Gospodina da me ne snađe ništa od toga što rekoste!" ²⁵ Oni pak pošto posvjedočiše i dorekoše riječ Gospodnju, vratiše se u Jeruzalem navješćujući evanđelje mnogim selima samarijskim. ²⁶ Anđeo se Gospodnji obrati Filipu: "Ustani i pođi na jug putom što iz Jeruzalema silazi u Gazu; on je pust." ²⁷ On usta i pođe. Odjednom eto nekog Etiopljanina, dvoranina, visokog dostojanstvenika kandake, kraljice etiopske koji bijaše nad svom njezinom riznicom. ²⁸ Vraćao se iz Jeruzalema, kamo je bio pošao pokloniti se; sjeđaše na svojim kolima i čitaše proroka Izaiju. ²⁹ Duh reče Filipu: "Pođi i pridruži se tim kolima!" ³⁰ Filip pritrča i ču gdje onaj čita Izaiju proroka pa će mu: "Razumiješ li što čitaš?" ³¹ On odvrati: "Kako bih mogao ako me tko ne uputi?" Onda zamoli Filipa da se uspne i sjedne uza nj. ³² A čitao je ovaj odlomak Pisma: Ko ovcu na klanje odvedoše ga, ko janje nijemo pred onim što ga striže on ne otvara svojih usta. ³³ U poniženju sud mu je uskraćen. Naraštaj njegov tko da opiše? Da, uklonjen je sa zemlje život njegov. ³⁴ Dvoranin se obrati Filipu pa će mu: "Molim te, o kome to prorok govori? O sebi ili o kome drugom? ³⁵ Filip prozbori te mu, pošavši od toga Pisma, navijesti evanđelje: Isusa. ³⁶ Putujući tako, stigoše do neke vode pa će dvoranin: "Evo vode! Što priječi da se krstim?" ³⁷ # ³⁸ Zapovjedi da kola stanu pa obojica, Filip i dvoranin, siđoše u vodu te ga Filip krsti. ³⁹ A kad iziđoše iz vode, Duh Gospodnji ugrabi Filipa te ga dvoranin više ne vidje. On radosno nastavi svojim putom, ⁴⁰ a Filip se nađe u Azotu. I kako je prolazio, navješćivaše evanđelje svim gradovima dok ne stiže u Cezareju.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul pak také přivolil k usmrcení jeho. I přišlo v ten čas veliké protivenství na církev, kteráž byla v Jeruzalémě, a všickni se rozprchli po krajinách Judských a Samařských, kromě apoštolů. ² I pochovali Štěpána muži pobožní, a plakali velmi nad ním. ³ Saul pak hubil církev, do domů vcházeje, a jímaje muže i ženy, dával je do žaláře. ⁴ Ti pak, kteříž se byli rozprchli, chodili, kážíce slovo Boží. ⁵ A Filip všed do města Samaří, kázal jim Krista. ⁶ I pozorovali zástupové s pilností jednomyslně toho, což se pravilo od Filipa, slyšíce a vidouce divy, kteréž činil. ⁷ Nebo duchové nečistí z mnohých, kteříž je měli, křičíce hlasem velikým, vycházeli, a mnozí šlakem poražení a kulhaví uzdraveni jsou. ⁸ A stala se radost veliká v tom městě. ⁹ Muž pak nějaký, jménem Šimon, před tím v tom městě čáry provodil, a lid Samařský mámil, pravě se býti nějakým velikým. ¹⁰ Na něhož pozor měli všickni, od nejmenšího až do největšího, říkajíce: Tentoť jest Boží moc veliká. ¹¹ Pozor pak měli na něho, protože je za mnohý čas mámil svými čáry. ¹² A když, uvěřivše Filipovi zvěstujícímu o království Božím a o jménu Ježíše Krista, křtili se muži i ženy, ¹³ Tedy i ten Šimon také uvěřil, a pokřtěn byv, přídržel se Filipa, a vida zázraky a moci veliké činěné, děsil se. ¹⁴ Uslyšavše pak v Jeruzalémě apoštolé, že by Samaří přijala slovo Boží, poslali k nim Petra a Jana. ¹⁵ Kteříž přišedše k nim, modlili se za ně, aby přijali Ducha svatého. ¹⁶ (Nebo ještě byl na žádného z nich nesstoupil, ale pokřtěni toliko byli ve jménu Pána Ježíše.) ¹⁷ Tedy vzkládali na ně ruce, a oni přijali Ducha svatého. ¹⁸ I uzřev Šimon, že skrze vzkládání rukou apoštolských dává se Duch svatý, přinesl jim peníze, ¹⁹ Řka: Dejte i mně tu moc, ať, na kohož bych koli vzložil ruce, přijme Ducha svatého. ²⁰ I řekl k němu Petr: Peníze tvé buďtež s tebou na zatracení, protože jsi se domníval, že by dar Boží mohl býti zjednán za peníze. ²¹ Nemáš dílu ani losu v této věci; nebo srdce tvé není upřímé před Bohem. ²² Protož čiň pokání z této své nešlechetnosti, a pros Boha, zda by odpuštěno bylo tobě to myšlení srdce tvého. ²³ Nebo v žluči hořkosti a v svazku nepravosti tebe býti vidím. ²⁴ I odpověděv Šimon, řekl: Modltež vy se za mne Pánu, aby na mne nepřišlo něco z těch věcí, kteréž jste mluvili. ²⁵ Oni pak osvědčovavše a mluvivše slovo Páně, navrátili se do Jeruzaléma, a ve mnohých městečkách Samaritánských kázali evangelium. ²⁶ V tom anděl Páně mluvil k Filipovi, řka: Vstaň a jdi ku polední straně na cestu, kteráž vede od Jeruzaléma do města Gázy, kteréž jest pusté. ²⁷ A on vstav, i šel. A aj, muž Mouřenín, kleštěnec, komorník královny Mouřenínské Kandáces, kterýž vládl všemi poklady jejími, a byl přijel do Jeruzaléma, aby se modlil, ²⁸ Již se navracoval zase, sedě na voze svém, a četl Izaiáše proroka. ²⁹ I řekl Duch k Filipovi: Přistup a přiviň se k vozu tomu. ³⁰ A přiběh Filip, slyšel jej, an čte Izaiáše proroka. I řekl: Rozumíš-liž, co čteš? ³¹ A on řekl: Kterakž bych mohl rozuměti, leč by mi kdo vyložil? I prosil Filipa, aby vstoupil na vůz, a seděl s ním. ³² Místo pak toho Písma, kteréž četl, toto bylo: Jako ovce k zabití veden jest, a jako beránek němý před tím, kdož jej střiže, tak neotevřel úst svých. ³³ V ponížení jeho odsouzení jeho vyhlazeno jest, rod pak jeho kdo vypraví, ačkoli zahlazen byl z země život jeho? ³⁴ A odpovídaje komorník Filipovi, dí: Prosím tebe, o kom toto mluví prorok? Sám-li o sobě, čili o někom jiném? ³⁵ Tedy otevřev Filip ústa svá, a počav od toho Písma, zvěstoval jemu Ježíše. ³⁶ A když jeli cestou, přijeli k jedné vodě. I řekl komorník: Aj, teď voda. Proč nemám býti pokřtěn? ³⁷ I řekl Filip: Věříš-li celým srdcem, slušíť. A on odpověděv, řekl: Věřím, že Ježíš Kristus jest Syn Boží. ³⁸ I rozkázal státi vozu, a sstoupili oba do vody, i Filip i komorník. I pokřtil ho. ³⁹ A když vystoupili z vody, Duch Páně pochopil Filipa, a neviděl ho více komorník; i jel cestou svou, raduje se. ⁴⁰ Filip pak nalezen jest v Azotu; a chodě, kázal evangelium všem městům, až přišel do Cesaree.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men ogsaa Saulus havde velbehag i hans Mord. og paa den samme Dag begyndtes en stor Forfølgelse over Menigheden i Jerusalem, og de adspredtes alle over Judæas og Samarias Egne, undtagen Apostlerne. ² Men gudfrygtige Mænd udbare Stephanus og holdt en stor Begrædelse over ham. ³ Men Saulus plagede Menigheden og gik ind i Husene og trak baade Mænd og Kvinder frem og overantvordede dem i Fængsel. ⁴ Imidlertid gik de Adsprdte omkring og forkyndte Evangeliums Lære. ⁵ Da kom og Philippus til Samarias Stad og prædikede Christus for dem. ⁶ Og Folket gav samdrægteligen Agt paa det, som sagdes af Philippus, idet de hørte og saae de Tegn, som han gjorde. ⁷ Thi af mange, som havde urene Aander, fore de ud, raabende med høi Røst; men mange Værkbrudne og Halte bleve helbredte. ⁸ Og der blev en stor Glæde i denne Stad. ⁹ Men en Mand, ved Navn Simon, havde før drevet Trolddom i Staden og forvildet det samartanske Folk og sagt sig selv at være stor. ¹⁰ Efter ham hang Alle, Smaa og Store, og sagde: denne er den Guds Kraft, den store. ¹¹ Men de hang efter ham, fordi han havde en lang Tid forvildet dem med Troldomskunster. ¹² Men der de troede Philippus, som forkyndte Evangelium om det, som hører til Guds Rige, og Jesu Christi Navn, lode de sig døbe, baade Mænd og Kvinder. ¹³ Men Simon troede og selv og lod sig døbe og holdt sig til Philippus; og da han saae de Tegn og store kraftige Gjerninger, som skete, forundrede han sig storligen. ¹⁴ Men der Apostlerne i Jerusalem hørte, at Samaria havde annammet Guds Ord, udsendte de Peter og Johannes til dem, ¹⁵ hvilke der de vare komne ned bade for dem, at de maatte faa den Hellig Aand; ¹⁶ (thi den var endnu ikke kommen paa Nogen af dem, men de vare alene døbte i den Herres Jesu Navn). ¹⁷ Da lagde de Hænderne paa dem, og de fik den Hellig Aand. ¹⁸ Men der Simon saae, at den Hellig Aand blev given ved Haandspaalæggelse af Apostlerne, bragte han dem Penge, sigende: ¹⁹ giver og mig denne Magt, at hvem jeg lægger Hænderne paa, han maae faae den Hellig Aand. ²⁰ Men Peter sagde til ham: dine Penge være forbandede tilligemed dig, fordi du mener at kunne erhverve den Guds Gave for Penge. ²¹ Du har ikke Deel eller Lod i dette Ord; thi dit Hjerte er ikke ret for Gud. ²² Omvend dig derfor fra denne din Ondskab, og bed Gud, om dit hjertes Paafund maatte forlades dig. ²³ Thi jeg seer, at du er betagen af en bitter Galde og besnæret af Uretfærdighed. ²⁴ Men Simon svarede og sagde: beder I for mig til Herren, at Intet af det, som I have sagt, skal komme over mig. ²⁵ Men der de havde vidnet og talet Herrens Ord, vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem igjen og prædikede Evangelium i mange af de Samaritaners Byer. ²⁶ Men Herrens Engel talede til Philippus og sagde: staa op og gak mod Sønden paa den Vei, som gaaer ned fra Jerusalem til Gaza; den er øde. ²⁷ Og han stod op og gik hen; og see, der var en Æthioper, en Gilding, en mægtig Mand hos Candace, Æthiopernes Dronning, som var sat over al hendes Skat; han var kommen tilJerusalem for at tilbede. ²⁸ Og han drog hjem og sad paa sin Vogn og læste Propheten Esaias. ²⁹ Men Aanden sagde til Philippus: gak frem og hold dig til denne Vogn. ³⁰ Men Philippus løb til og hørte ham læse Propheten Esaias, og han sagde: forstaaer du og det, som du læser? ³¹ Men han sagde: hvorledes skulde jeg kunne det, uden Nogen veileder mig? Og han bad Philippus stige op at sidde hos sig. ³² Men det Stykke af Skriften, som han læste, var dette: som et Faar blev han ført til Slagterbænken, og som et Lam er stumt mod den, der klipper det, saaledes oplader han ei sin Mund. ³³ I hans Fornedrelse blev hans Dom fuldendt; men hvo skal kunne fortælle hans Tid? efterdi hans Liv blev borttaget af Jorden. ³⁴ Men Gildingen spurge Philippus og sagde: jeg beder dig, og hvem taler Propheten dette? om sig selv eller om en Anden? ³⁵ Da oplod Phlippus sin Mund og begyndte fra dette Prophetens Sted at forkynde ham Jesus. ³⁶ Men som de droge frem ad Veien, kom de til noget Vand, og Gildingen sagde: see, der er Vand, hvad hindrer mig fra at blive døbt? ³⁷ Men Philippus sagde: dersom du troer af ganske Hjerte, kan det skee. Men han svarede og sagde: jeg troer, at Jesus Christus er Guds Søn. ³⁸ Og han bød Vognen holde, og de nedstege begge i Vandet, baade Philippus og Gildingen; og han døbte ham. ³⁹ Men der de opstege af Vandet bortrykkede Herrens Aand Philippus, og Gildingen saae ham ikke mere; thi drog han sin Vei med Glæde. ⁴⁰ Men Philippus blev funden i Asdod, og han vandrede der igjennem, og prædikede Evangelium i alle Stæder, indtil han kom til Cæsarea.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 從這日起，耶路撒冷的教會大遭逼迫，除了使徒以外，門徒都分散在猶太和撒瑪利亞各處。 ² 有虔誠的人把司提反埋葬了，為他捶胸大哭。 ³ 掃羅卻殘害教會，進各人的家，拉著男女下在監裡。 ⁴ 那些分散的人往各處去傳道。 ⁵ 腓利下撒瑪利亞城去，宣講基督。 ⁶ 眾人聽見了，又看見腓利所行的神蹟，就同心合意的聽從他的話。 ⁷ 因為有許多人被污鬼附著，那些鬼大聲呼叫，從他們身上出來；還有許多癱瘓的，瘸腿的，都得了醫治。 ⁸ 在那城裡，就大有歡喜。 ⁹ 有一個人，名叫西門，向來在那城裡行邪術，妄自尊大，使撒瑪利亞的百姓驚奇； ¹⁰ 無論大小都聽從他，說：這人就是那稱為神的大能者。 ¹¹ 他們聽從他，因他久用邪術，使他們驚奇。 ¹² 及至他們信了腓利所傳神國的福音和耶穌基督的名，連男帶女就受了洗。 ¹³ 西門自己也信了；既受了洗，就常與腓利在一處，看見他所行的神蹟和大異能，就甚驚奇。 ¹⁴ 使徒在耶路撒冷聽見撒瑪利亞人領受了神的道，就打發彼得、約翰往他們那裡去。 ¹⁵ 兩個人到了，就為他們禱告，要叫他們受聖靈。 ¹⁶ 因為聖靈還沒有降在他們一個人身上，他們只奉主耶穌的名受了洗。 ¹⁷ 於是使徒按手在他們頭上，他們就受了聖靈。 ¹⁸ 西門看見使徒按手，便有聖靈賜下，就拿錢給使徒， ¹⁹ 說：把這權柄也給我，叫我手按著誰，誰就可以受聖靈。 ²⁰ 彼得說：你的銀子和你一同滅亡罷！因你想神的恩賜是可以用錢買的。 ²¹ 你在這道上無分無關；因為在神面前，你的心不正。 ²² 你當懊悔你這罪惡，祈求主，或者你心裡的意念可得赦免。 ²³ 我看出你正在苦膽之中，被罪惡捆綁。 ²⁴ 西門說：願你們為我求主，叫你們所說的，沒有一樣臨到我身上。 ²⁵ 使徒既證明主道，而且傳講，就回耶路撒冷去，一路在撒瑪利亞好些村莊傳揚福音。 ²⁶ 有主的一個使者對腓利說：起來！向南走，往那從耶路撒冷下迦薩的路上去。那路是曠野。 ²⁷ 腓利就起身去了，不料，有一個埃提阿伯（即古實，見以賽亞十八章一節）人，是個有大權的太監，在埃提阿伯女王干大基的手下總管銀庫，他上耶路撒冷禮拜去了。 ²⁸ 現在回來，在車上坐著，念先知以賽亞的書。 ²⁹ 聖靈對腓利說：你去！貼近那車走。 ³⁰ 腓利就跑到太監那裡，聽見他念先知以賽亞的書，便問他說：你所念的，你明白麼？ ³¹ 他說：沒有人指教我，怎能明白呢？於是請腓利上車，與他同坐。 ³² 他所念的那段經，說：他像羊被牽到宰殺之地，又像羊羔在剪毛的人手下無聲；他也是這樣不開口。 ³³ 他卑微的時候，人不按公義審判他（原文是他的審判被奪去）；誰能述說他的世代，因為他的生命從地上奪去。 ³⁴ 太監對腓利說：請問，先知說這話是指著誰？是指著自己呢？是指著別人呢？ ³⁵ 腓利就開口從這經上起，對他傳講耶穌。 ³⁶ 二人正往前走，到了有水的地方，太監說：看哪，這裡有水，我受洗有甚麼妨礙呢？（有古卷在此有： ³⁷ 腓利說：你若是一心相信，就可以。他回答說：我信耶穌基督是神的兒子。） ³⁸ 於是吩咐車站住，腓利和太監二人同下水裡去，腓利就給他施洗。 ³⁹ 從水裡上來，主的靈把腓利提了去，太監也不再見他了，就歡歡喜喜的走路。 ⁴⁰ 後來有人在亞鎖都遇見腓利；他走遍那地方，在各城宣傳福音，直到該撒利亞。

1 G1722 從 G1565 這 G2250 日 G2414 起，耶路撒冷 G1577 的教會 G3173 大 G1096 G1909 遭 G1375 逼迫 G4133 ，除了 G652 使徒 G3956 以外，門徒都 G1289 分散 G2596 在 G2449 猶太 G2532 和 G4540 撒瑪利亞 G5561 各處。

2 G2126 有虔誠的 G435 人 G4792 把 G4736 司提反 G1909 埋葬了，為 G846 他 G4160 捶胸 G3173 大 G2870 哭。

3 G4569 掃羅 G1161 卻 G3075 殘害 G1577 教會 G1531 ，進 G2596 各人 G3624 的家 G4951 G5037 ，拉著 G435 男 G1135 女 G3860 下 G1519 在 G5438 監裡。

4 G1289 那些分散 G1330 的人往各處去 G2097 傳 G3056 道。

5 G5376 腓利 G2718 下 G4540 撒瑪利亞 G4172 城 G1519 去 G2784 ，宣講 G5547 基督。

6 G3793 眾人 G1722 G191 聽見 G846 了，又 G991 看見 G5376 腓利 G4160 所行 G4592 的神蹟 G3661 ，就同心合意 G4337 的聽從 G846 他 G3004 G5259 的話。

7 G1063 因為 G4183 有許多人 G169 被污 G4151 鬼 G2192 附著 G3173 ，那些鬼大 G5456 聲 G994 呼叫 G1831 ，從他們身上出來 G1161 ；還有 G4183 許多 G3886 癱瘓的 G5560 ，瘸腿的 G2323 ，都得了醫治。

8 G1722 在 G1565 那 G4172 城 G2532 裡，就 G3173 大 G1096 有 G5479 歡喜。

9 G5100 有一個 G435 人 G3686 ，名叫 G4613 西門 G4391 ，向來 G1722 在 G4172 那城 G3096 裡行邪術 G3004 G1438 G1511 G5100 G3173 ，妄自尊大 G1484 ，使撒瑪利亞 G1484 的百姓 G1839 驚奇；

10 G575 G3398 G2193 G3173 無論大小 G3956 都 G4337 聽從 G3004 他，說 G3778 ：這人 G2076 就是 G2316 那稱為神 G3173 的大 G1411 能者。

11 G4337 他們聽從 G846 他 G1223 ，因 G2425 G5550 他久 G3095 用邪術 G846 ，使他們 G1839 驚奇。

12 G1161 G3753 及至 G4100 他們信了 G5376 腓利 G2097 所傳 G2316 神 G932 國 G2532 的福音和 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G3686 的名 G5037 ，連 G435 男 G2532 帶 G1135 女 G907 就受了洗。

13 G4613 西門 G846 自己 G2532 也 G4100 信了 G2532 ；既 G907 受了洗 G4342 ，就常 G5376 與腓利 G2258 在 G2334 一處，看見 G1096 G1096 他所行 G1411 的神蹟 G2532 和 G3173 大 G4592 異能 G5037 ，就 G5037 甚驚奇。

14 G652 使徒 G1722 在 G2414 耶路撒冷 G191 聽見 G4540 撒瑪利亞人 G1209 領受了 G2316 神 G3056 的道 G649 ，就打發 G4074 彼得 G2491 、約翰 G4314 往 G846 他們那裡去。

15 G2597 兩個人到了 G4012 ，就為 G846 他們 G4336 禱告 G3704 ，要叫 G2983 他們受 G40 聖 G4151 靈。

16 G1063 因為 G3768 聖靈還沒 G2258 有 G1968 降 G1909 在 G846 他們 G3762 一個人 G3440 G1161 身上，他們只 G1519 奉 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G3686 的名 G5225 受 G907 了洗。

17 G5119 於是 G2007 使徒按 G5495 手 G1909 在 G846 他們 G2532 頭上，他們就 G2983 受了 G40 聖 G40 靈。

18 G4613 西門 G2300 看見 G652 使徒 G1936 按 G5495 手 G40 ，便有聖 G4151 靈 G1325 賜下 G5536 ，就拿錢 G4374 給使徒，

19 G3004 說 G5026 ：把這 G1849 權柄 G2504 也 G1325 給 G2443 我，叫 G5495 我手 G2007 按 G3739 G1437 著誰 G2983 ，誰就可以受 G40 聖 G4151 靈。

20 G4074 彼得 G2036 說 G4675 ：你 G694 的銀子 G4862 和 G4671 你 G1498 G1519 G684 一同滅亡 G3754 罷！因 G3543 你想 G2316 神 G1431 的恩賜 G1223 是可以用 G5536 錢 G2932 買的。

21 G4671 你 G1722 在 G5129 這 G3056 道 G3756 上無 G3310 分 G3761 無 G2819 關 G1063 ；因為 G2316 在神 G1799 面前 G4675 ，你 G2588 的心 G2076 G3756 不 G2117 正。

22 G4671 你 G3340 當懊悔 G4675 你 G5026 這 G2549 罪惡 G1189 ，祈求 G2316 主 G1487 G686 ，或者 G4675 你 G2588 心裡 G1963 的意念 G863 可得赦免。

23 G3708 我看出 G4571 你 G5607 正在 G55219 G4088 苦膽 G1519 之中 G93 ，被罪惡 G4886 捆綁。

24 G4613 西門 G2036 說 G5210 ：願你們 G5228 為 G1700 我 G1189 求 G2962 主 G3704 ，叫 G2046 你們所說 G3367 的，沒有一樣 G1904 臨到 G1691 我 G1909 身上。

25 G3303 G3767 使徒既 G1263 證明 G2962 主 G3056 道 G2532 ，而且 G2980 傳講 G5290 ，就回 G2419 耶路撒冷 G1519 去 G4541 ，一路在撒瑪利亞 G4183 好些 G2968 村莊 G2097 傳揚福音。

26 G2962 有主 G32 的一個使者 G4314 對 G5376 腓利 G2980 G3004 說 G450 ：起來 G2596 ！向 G3314 南 G4198 走 G1909 ，往 G575 那從 G2419 耶路撒冷 G2597 G1519 下 G1048 迦薩 G3598 的路 G3778 上去。那 G2076 路是 G2048 曠野。

27 G450 腓利就起身 G4198 去了 G128 ，不料，有一個埃提阿伯 G435 （即古實，見以賽亞十八章一節）人 G1413 ，是個有大權 G2135 的太監 G128 ，在埃提阿伯 G938 女王 G2582 干大基 G2419 的手下總管銀庫，他上耶路撒冷 G4352 禮拜 G2064 去了。

28 G5037 現在 G5290 回來 G1909 ，在 G716 車上 G2521 坐著 G314 ，念 G4396 先知 G2268 以賽亞的書。

29 G4151 聖靈 G5376 對腓利 G2036 說 G4334 ：你去 G2853 ！貼近 G5129 那 G5129 車走。

30 G5376 腓利 G1161 就 G4370 跑 G191 到太監那裡，聽見 G846 他 G314 念 G4396 先知 G2268 以賽亞 G2532 的書，便 G2036 問他說 G3739 ：你所 G314 念 G1097 的，你明白麼？

31 G2036 他說 G3362 ：沒有 G5100 人 G3594 指教 G3165 我 G1063 G4459 ，怎 G302 G1410 能 G5037 明白呢？於是 G3870 請 G5376 腓利 G305 上 G4862 車，與 G846 他 G2523 同坐。

32 G3739 他所 G314 念 G4042 的那段 G1124 經 G2258 G3778 ，說 G5613 ：他像 G4263 羊 G71 被牽 G1909 到 G4967 宰殺 G2532 之地，又 G5613 像 G286 羊羔 G2751 在剪毛的人 G1726 手下 G880 無聲 G846 ；他 G3779 也是這樣 G3756 不 G455 開 G4750 口。

33 G846 他 G5014 卑微 G846 的時候，人不按公義審判他（原文是他的 G2920 審判 G142 被奪去 G5101 ）；誰 G1334 能述說 G846 他的 G1074 世代 G3754 ，因為 G846 他的 G2222 生命 G575 從 G1093 地上 G142 奪去。

34 G2135 太監 G5376 對腓利 G2036 說 G1189 ：請問 G4396 ，先知 G3004 說 G5124 這話 G4012 是指著 G5101 誰 G4012 ？是指著 G1438 自己 G4012 呢？是指著 G5100 G2087 別人呢？

35 G5376 腓利 G1161 就 G455 開 G4750 口 G575 從 G5026 這 G1124 經上 G756 起 G846 ，對他 G2097 傳講 G2424 耶穌。

36 G5613 二人正 G4198 G2596 G3598 往前走 G2064 G1909 ，到了 G5100 有 G5204 水 G2135 的地方，太監 G5346 說 G2400 ：看哪 G5204 ，這裡有水 G3165 ，我 G907 受洗 G5101 有甚麼 G2967 妨礙呢？（有古卷在此有：

37 G5376 腓利 G2036 說 G1487 ：你若 G3650 是一 G2588 心 G4100 相信 G1832 ，就可以 G611 。他回答 G2036 說 G4100 ：我信 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G1511 是 G2316 神 G5207 的兒子。）

38 G2532 於是 G2753 吩咐 G716 車 G2476 站住 G5376 ，腓利 G5037 G2532 和 G2135 太監 G297 二人 G2597 同下 G5204 水 G1519 裡去 G2532 ，腓利就 G846 給他 G907 施洗。

39 G1537 從 G5204 水裡 G305 上來 G2962 ，主 G4151 的靈 G5376 把腓利 G726 提了去 G2135 ，太監 G5376 也 G3765 不再 G1492 見 G846 他 G1063 了，就 G5463 歡歡喜喜 G4198 的走 G3598 路。

40 G1519 後來有人在 G108 亞鎖都 G2147 遇見 G5376 腓利 G846 ；他 G1330 走遍 G3956 那地方，在各 G4172 城 G2097 宣傳福音 G2193 G2064 G1519 ，直到 G2542 該撒利亞。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 从这日起，耶路撒冷的教会大遭逼迫，除了使徒以外，门徒都分散在犹太和撒玛利亚各处。 ² 冇虔诚的人把司提反埋葬了，为他捶胸大哭。 ³ 扫罗却残害教会，进各人的家，拉着男女下在监里。 ⁴ 那些分散的人往各处去传道。 ⁵ 腓利下撒玛利亚城去，宣讲基督。 ⁶ 众人听见了，又看见腓利所行的神蹟，就同心合意的听从他的话。 ⁷ 因为冇许多人被污鬼附着，那些鬼大声呼叫，从他们身上出来；还冇许多瘫痪的，瘸腿的，都得了医治。 ⁸ 在那城里，就大冇欢喜。 ⁹ 冇一个人，名叫西门，向来在那城里行邪术，妄自尊大，使撒玛利亚的百姓惊奇； ¹⁰ 无论大小都听从他，说：这人就是那称为神的大能者。 ¹¹ 他们听从他，因他久用邪术，使他们惊奇。 ¹² 及至他们信了腓利所传神国的福音和耶稣基督的名，连男带女就受了洗。 ¹³ 西门自己也信了；既受了洗，就常与腓利在一处，看见他所行的神蹟和大异能，就甚惊奇。 ¹⁴ 使徒在耶路撒冷听见撒玛利亚人领受了神的道，就打发彼得、约翰往他们那里去。 ¹⁵ 两个人到了，就为他们祷告，要叫他们受圣灵。 ¹⁶ 因为圣灵还没冇降在他们一个人身上，他们只奉主耶稣的名受了洗。 ¹⁷ 于是使徒按手在他们头上，他们就受了圣灵。 ¹⁸ 西门看见使徒按手，便冇圣灵赐下，就拿钱给使徒， ¹⁹ 说：把这权柄也给我，叫我手按着谁，谁就可以受圣灵。 ²⁰ 彼得说：你的银子和你一同灭亡罢！因你想神的恩赐是可以用钱买的。 ²¹ 你在这道上无分无关；因为在神面前，你的心不正。 ²² 你当懊悔你这罪恶，祈求主，或者你心里的意念可得赦免。 ²³ 我看出你正在苦胆之中，被罪恶捆绑。 ²⁴ 西门说：愿你们为我求主，叫你们所说的，没冇一样临到我身上。 ²⁵ 使徒既證明主道，而且传讲，就回耶路撒冷去，一路在撒玛利亚好些村庄传扬福音。 ²⁶ 冇主的一个使者对腓利说：起来！向南走，往那从耶路撒冷下迦萨的路上去。那路是旷野。 ²⁷ 腓利就起身去了，不料，冇一个埃提阿伯（即古实，见以赛亚十八章一节）人，是个冇大权的太监，在埃提阿伯女王干大基的手下总管银库，他上耶路撒冷礼拜去了。 ²⁸ 现在回来，在车上坐着，念先知以赛亚的书。 ²⁹ 圣灵对腓利说：你去！贴近那车走。 ³⁰ 腓利就跑到太监那里，听见他念先知以赛亚的书，便问他说：你所念的，你明白么？ ³¹ 他说：没冇人指教我，怎能明白呢？于是请腓利上车，与他同坐。 ³² 他所念的那段经，说：他象羊被牵到宰杀之地，又象羊羔在剪毛的人手下无声；他也是这样不幵口。 ³³ 他卑微的时候，人不按公义审判他（原文是他的审判被夺去）；谁能述说他的世代，因为他的生命从地上夺去。 ³⁴ 太监对腓利说：请问，先知说这话是指着谁？是指着自己呢？是指着别人呢？ ³⁵ 腓利就幵口从这经上起，对他传讲耶稣。 ³⁶ 二人正往前走，到了冇水的地方，太监说：看哪，这里冇水，我受洗冇甚么妨碍呢？（冇古卷在此冇： ³⁷ 腓利说：你若是一心相信，就可以。他回答说：我信耶稣基督是神的儿子。） ³⁸ 于是吩咐车站住，腓利和太监二人同下水里去，腓利就给他施洗。 ³⁹ 从水里上来，主的灵把腓利提了去，太监也不再见他了，就欢欢喜喜的走路。 ⁴⁰ 后来冇人在亚锁都遇见腓利；他走遍那地方，在各城宣传福音，直到该撒利亚。

6 G3793 众人 G1722 G191 听见 G846 了，又 G991 看见 G5376 腓利 G4160 所行 G4592 的神蹟 G3661 ，就同心合意 G4337 的听从 G846 他 G3004 G5259 的话。

7 G1063 因为 G4183 有许多人 G169 被污 G4151 鬼 G2192 附着 G3173 ，那些鬼大 G5456 声 G994 呼叫 G1831 ，从他们身上出来 G1161 ；还有 G4183 许多 G3886 瘫痪的 G5560 ，瘸腿的 G2323 ，都得了医治。

8 G1722 在 G1565 那 G4172 城 G2532 里，就 G3173 大 G1096 有 G5479 欢喜。

9 G5100 有一个 G435 人 G3686 ，名叫 G4613 西门 G4391 ，向来 G1722 在 G4172 那城 G3096 里行邪术 G3004 G1438 G1511 G5100 G3173 ，妄自尊大 G1484 ，使撒玛利亚 G1484 的百姓 G1839 惊奇；

10 G575 G3398 G2193 G3173 无论大小 G3956 都 G4337 听从 G3004 他，说 G3778 ：这人 G2076 就是 G2316 那称为神 G3173 的大 G1411 能者。

11 G4337 他们听从 G846 他 G1223 ，因 G2425 G5550 他久 G3095 用邪术 G846 ，使他们 G1839 惊奇。

12 G1161 G3753 及至 G4100 他们信了 G5376 腓利 G2097 所传 G2316 神 G932 国 G2532 的福音和 G2424 耶稣 G5547 基督 G3686 的名 G5037 ，连 G435 男 G2532 带 G1135 女 G907 就受了洗。

13 G4613 西门 G846 自己 G2532 也 G4100 信了 G2532 ；既 G907 受了洗 G4342 ，就常 G5376 与腓利 G2258 在 G2334 一处，看见 G1096 G1096 他所行 G1411 的神蹟 G2532 和 G3173 大 G4592 异能 G5037 ，就 G5037 甚惊奇。

14 G652 使徒 G1722 在 G2414 耶路撒冷 G191 听见 G4540 撒玛利亚人 G1209 领受了 G2316 神 G3056 的道 G649 ，就打发 G4074 彼得 G2491 、约翰 G4314 往 G846 他们那里去。

15 G2597 两个人到了 G4012 ，就为 G846 他们 G4336 祷告 G3704 ，要叫 G2983 他们受 G40 圣 G4151 灵。

16 G1063 因为 G3768 圣灵还没 G2258 有 G1968 降 G1909 在 G846 他们 G3762 一个人 G3440 G1161 身上，他们只 G1519 奉 G2962 主 G2424 耶稣 G3686 的名 G5225 受 G907 了洗。

17 G5119 于是 G2007 使徒按 G5495 手 G1909 在 G846 他们 G2532 头上，他们就 G2983 受了 G40 圣 G40 灵。

18 G4613 西门 G2300 看见 G652 使徒 G1936 按 G5495 手 G40 ，便有圣 G4151 灵 G1325 赐下 G5536 ，就拿钱 G4374 给使徒，

19 G3004 说 G5026 ：把这 G1849 权柄 G2504 也 G1325 给 G2443 我，叫 G5495 我手 G2007 按 G3739 G1437 着谁 G2983 ，谁就可以受 G40 圣 G4151 灵。

20 G4074 彼得 G2036 说 G4675 ：你 G694 的银子 G4862 和 G4671 你 G1498 G1519 G684 一同灭亡 G3754 罢！因 G3543 你想 G2316 神 G1431 的恩赐 G1223 是可以用 G5536 钱 G2932 买的。

21 G4671 你 G1722 在 G5129 这 G3056 道 G3756 上无 G3310 分 G3761 无 G2819 关 G1063 ；因为 G2316 在神 G1799 面前 G4675 ，你 G2588 的心 G2076 G3756 不 G2117 正。

22 G4671 你 G3340 当懊悔 G4675 你 G5026 这 G2549 罪恶 G1189 ，祈求 G2316 主 G1487 G686 ，或者 G4675 你 G2588 心里 G1963 的意念 G863 可得赦免。

23 G3708 我看出 G4571 你 G5607 正在 G55219 G4088 苦胆 G1519 之中 G93 ，被罪恶 G4886 捆绑。

24 G4613 西门 G2036 说 G5210 ：愿你们 G5228 为 G1700 我 G1189 求 G2962 主 G3704 ，叫 G2046 你们所说 G3367 的，没有一样 G1904 临到 G1691 我 G1909 身上。

25 G3303 G3767 使徒既 G1263 證明 G2962 主 G3056 道 G2532 ，而且 G2980 传讲 G5290 ，就回 G2419 耶路撒冷 G1519 去 G4541 ，一路在撒玛利亚 G4183 好些 G2968 村庄 G2097 传扬福音。

26 G2962 有主 G32 的一个使者 G4314 对 G5376 腓利 G2980 G3004 说 G450 ：起来 G2596 ！向 G3314 南 G4198 走 G1909 ，往 G575 那从 G2419 耶路撒冷 G2597 G1519 下 G1048 迦萨 G3598 的路 G3778 上去。那 G2076 路是 G2048 旷野。

27 G450 腓利就起身 G4198 去了 G128 ，不料，有一个埃提阿伯 G435 （即古实，见以赛亚十八章一节）人 G1413 ，是个有大权 G2135 的太监 G128 ，在埃提阿伯 G938 女王 G2582 干大基 G2419 的手下总管银库，他上耶路撒冷 G4352 礼拜 G2064 去了。

28 G5037 现在 G5290 回来 G1909 ，在 G716 车上 G2521 坐着 G314 ，念 G4396 先知 G2268 以赛亚的书。

29 G4151 圣灵 G5376 对腓利 G2036 说 G4334 ：你去 G2853 ！贴近 G5129 那 G5129 车走。

30 G5376 腓利 G1161 就 G4370 跑 G191 到太监那里，听见 G846 他 G314 念 G4396 先知 G2268 以赛亚 G2532 的书，便 G2036 问他说 G3739 ：你所 G314 念 G1097 的，你明白么？

31 G2036 他说 G3362 ：没有 G5100 人 G3594 指教 G3165 我 G1063 G4459 ，怎 G302 G1410 能 G5037 明白呢？于是 G3870 请 G5376 腓利 G305 上 G4862 车，与 G846 他 G2523 同坐。

32 G3739 他所 G314 念 G4042 的那段 G1124 经 G2258 G3778 ，说 G5613 ：他象 G4263 羊 G71 被牵 G1909 到 G4967 宰杀 G2532 之地，又 G5613 象 G286 羊羔 G2751 在剪毛的人 G1726 手下 G880 无声 G846 ；他 G3779 也是这样 G3756 不 G455 开 G4750 口。

33 G846 他 G5014 卑微 G846 的时候，人不按公义审判他（原文是他的 G2920 审判 G142 被夺去 G5101 ）；谁 G1334 能述说 G846 他的 G1074 世代 G3754 ，因为 G846 他的 G2222 生命 G575 从 G1093 地上 G142 夺去。

34 G2135 太监 G5376 对腓利 G2036 说 G1189 ：请问 G4396 ，先知 G3004 说 G5124 这话 G4012 是指着 G5101 谁 G4012 ？是指着 G1438 自己 G4012 呢？是指着 G5100 G2087 别人呢？

35 G5376 腓利 G1161 就 G455 开 G4750 口 G575 从 G5026 这 G1124 经上 G756 起 G846 ，对他 G2097 传讲 G2424 耶稣。

36 G5613 二人正 G4198 G2596 G3598 往前走 G2064 G1909 ，到了 G5100 有 G5204 水 G2135 的地方，太监 G5346 说 G2400 ：看哪 G5204 ，这里有水 G3165 ，我 G907 受洗 G5101 有甚么 G2967 妨碍呢？（有古卷在此有：

37 G5376 腓利 G2036 说 G1487 ：你若 G3650 是一 G2588 心 G4100 相信 G1832 ，就可以 G611 。他回答 G2036 说 G4100 ：我信 G2424 耶稣 G5547 基督 G1511 是 G2316 神 G5207 的儿子。）

38 G2532 于是 G2753 吩咐 G716 车 G2476 站住 G5376 ，腓利 G5037 G2532 和 G2135 太监 G297 二人 G2597 同下 G5204 水 G1519 里去 G2532 ，腓利就 G846 给他 G907 施洗。

39 G1537 从 G5204 水里 G305 上来 G2962 ，主 G4151 的灵 G5376 把腓利 G726 提了去 G2135 ，太监 G5376 也 G3765 不再 G1492 见 G846 他 G1063 了，就 G5463 欢欢喜喜 G4198 的走 G3598 路。

40 G1519 后来有人在 G108 亚锁都 G2147 遇见 G5376 腓利 G846 ；他 G1330 走遍 G3956 那地方，在各 G4172 城 G2097 宣传福音 G2193 G2064 G1519 ，直到 G2542 该撒利亚。

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kaj Sauxlo konsentis al lia mortigo. Kaj en tiu tago komencigxis granda persekutado kontraux la eklezio, kiu estis en Jerusalem; kaj cxiuj estis dispelitaj tra la regionoj de Judujo kaj Samario, kun escepto de la apostolaro. ² Kaj piuloj enterigis Stefanon, kaj faris pri li grandan funebron. ³ Sed Sauxlo atakis la eklezion, enirante en cxiun domon, kaj li trenis virojn kaj virinojn, kaj transdonis ilin en malliberejon. ⁴ Sed la dispelitoj trairis, predikante la vorton. ⁵ Kaj Filipo, malsuprenirinte en la urbon Samario, proklamis al ili la Kriston. ⁶ Kaj la homamaso unuanime atentis la parolojn de Filipo, kiam ili lin auxdis kaj vidis la signojn, kiujn li faris. ⁷ CXar el multaj el ili, kiuj havis malpurajn spiritojn, cxi tiuj elvenis, kriante per lauxta vocxo; kaj multaj paralizuloj kaj lamuloj resanigxis. ⁸ Kaj estis granda gxojo en tiu urbo. ⁹ Sed unu viro, nome Simon, jam antauxe faradis magion en la urbo kaj sorcxadis la popolon de Samario, dirante, ke li estas iu granda; ¹⁰ al li atentadis ili cxiuj, de la malgrandaj gxis la grandaj, dirante:CXi tiu homo estas la granda potenco de Dio. ¹¹ Kaj ili atentadis lin, cxar li jam de longe sorcxis ilin per magiajxoj. ¹² Sed kiam ili kredis al Filipo, predikanta la evangelion pri la regno de Dio kaj la nomo de Jesuo Kristo, ili baptigxis, viroj kaj virinoj. ¹³ Kaj Simon mem ankaux kredis; kaj kiam li baptigxis, li forte aligxis al Filipo, kaj vidante signojn kaj grandajn miraklojn farataj, li konfuzigxis. ¹⁴ Kaj la apostoloj en Jerusalem, auxdinte, ke Samario akceptis la vorton de Dio, sendis al ili Petron kaj Johanon; ¹⁵ kiuj, alveninte, pregxis por ili, ke ili ricevu la Sanktan Spiriton, ¹⁶ cxar ankoraux sur neniun el ili li falis; ili nur baptigxis en la nomon de la Sinjoro Jesuo. ¹⁷ Tiam ili metis la manojn sur ilin, kaj ili ricevis la Sanktan Spiriton. ¹⁸ Kaj kiam Simon vidis, ke la Sankta Spirito estis donata per la surmetado de la manoj de la apostoloj, li proponis al ili monon, ¹⁹ kaj diris:Donu ankaux al mi cxi tiun rajton, por ke cxiu ajn, sur kiun mi metos la manojn, ricevu la Sanktan Spiriton. ²⁰ Sed Petro diris al li:Via argxentajxo iru kun vi en pereon, cxar vi pensis ricevi per mono la donacon de Dio. ²¹ Vi havas nek parton nek loton en tiu afero, cxar via koro ne estas rekta antaux Dio. ²² Pentu do pri tiu via malboneco, kaj pregxu al la Eternulo, se eble la penso de via koro estu pardonita al vi. ²³ CXar mi vidas, ke vi estas en la galo de maldolcxeco kaj en la kateno de maljusteco. ²⁴ Kaj Simon responde diris:Pregxu vi al la Eternulo por mi, ke trafu min neniom el tio, pri kio vi parolis. ²⁵ Ili do, atestinte kaj parolinte la vorton de la Sinjoro, revenis al Jerusalem, kaj predikis la evangelion al multaj vilagxoj de la Samarianoj. ²⁶ Sed angxelo de la Eternulo parolis al Filipo, dirante:Levigxu, kaj iru suden gxis la vojo, kiu kondukas de Jerusalem al Gaza; tio estas dezerto. ²⁷ Kaj li levigxis, kaj ekiris; kaj jen viro, Etiopo, euxnuko, potenculo sub Kandake, regxino de la Etiopoj, kaj kiu estis super sxia tuta trezoro, jam venis al Jerusalem, por adorklinigxi; ²⁸ tiu vojagxis returne, kaj, sidante en sia cxaro, legis la profeton Jesaja. ²⁹ Kaj la Spirito diris al Filipo:Aliru, kaj aligxu al tiu cxaro. ³⁰ Kaj Filipo alkuris, kaj auxdis lin legi la profeton Jesaja, kaj diris:CXu vi komprenas tion, kion vi legas? ³¹ Kaj tiu diris:Kiel mi povas, se neniu min gvidas? Kaj li petis Filipon, ke li supreniru kaj sidigxu kun li. ³² La peco de la Skribo, kiun li legis, estis jena: Li estis kondukata kiel sxafo al la bucxo; Kaj kiel sxafido muta antaux sia tondanto, Li ne malfermis sian busxon; ³³ En lia humiligxo lia jugxo estis deprenita; Pri lia generacio kiu rakontos? CXar lia vivo estas prenita for de la tero. ³⁴ Kaj la euxnuko responde al Filipo diris:Mi petas vin, pri kiu parolis la profeto cxi tion? cxu pri si, aux pri iu alia? ³⁵ Kaj Filipo malfermis sian busxon, kaj komencante de tiu Skribo, predikis al li Jesuon. ³⁶ Kaj dum ili iris sur la vojo, ili alvenis al iu akvo; kaj la euxnuko diris:Jen estas akvo; kio malhelpas min baptigxi? ³⁷ Kaj Filipo diris:Se vi kredas per via tuta koro, tio estas permesata. Kaj li respondis:Mi kredas, ke Jesuo Kristo estas la Filo de Dio. ³⁸ Kaj li ordonis, ke la cxaro haltu, kaj ili ambaux malsupreniris en la akvon, Filipo kaj la euxnuko; kaj li baptis lin. ³⁹ Kaj kiam ili supreniris el la akvo, la Spirito de la Eternulo forkaptis Filipon; kaj la euxnuko ne plu lin vidis, kaj li iris sian vojon, gxojante. ⁴⁰ Sed Filipo trovigxis en Asxdod; kaj trapasante, li predikis la evangelion en cxiuj urboj, gxis li alvenis en Cezarean.

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Aga Saulusel oli hea meel Stefanose surmast. Sel ajal algas suur Jeruusalemma koguduse tagakiusamine. Ja kõik peale Apostlite hajutati Juuda- ja Samaariamaale. ² Aga mõned jumalakartlikud mehed matsid Stefanose maha ja leinasid väga tema pärast. ³ Ent Saulus rüüstas kogudust, käies mööda kodasid, ja tõi välja mehi ja naisi ja andis nad vangi. ⁴ Siis käisid hajaliolevad mööda maad ja kuulutasid Evangeeliumi sõna. ⁵ Aga Filippus tuli Samaaria linna ja kuulutas neile Kristust. ⁶ Ja rahvas pani ühel meelel seda tähele, mida Filippus ütles, kuuldes teda ning nähes imetähti, mida ta tegi. ⁷ Sest paljude seest, kellel olid rüvedad vaimud, läksid need välja suure häälega kisendades, ja palju halvatuid ja jalutuid sai terveks. ⁸ Ja suur rõõm oli selles linnas. ⁹ Aga üks mees, Siimon nimi, oli enne juba seal linnas ja nõidus ning eksitas Samaaria rahvast, öeldes enese midagi suurt olevat. ¹⁰ Teda panid tähele kõik, nii pisukesed kui suured, ning ütlesid: "See on Jumala vägi, mida kutsutakse Suureks!" ¹¹ Ja nad hoidsid tema poole, sest et ta kaua aega oli neid nõidusega eksitanud. ¹² Aga kui nad Filippust uskusid, kes neile kuulutas Evangeeliumi Jumala riigist ja Jeesuse Kristuse nimest, siis ristiti nii mehi kui naisi. ¹³ Ka Siimon ise sai usklikuks, ja kui ta oli ristitud, jäi ta alati Filippuse juurde ja pani väga imeks, nähes sündivat imetähti ja suuri vägevaid tegusid. ¹⁴ Aga kui Jeruusalemmas olevad Apostlid said kuulda, et Samaaria linn oli Jumala sõna vastu võtnud, läkitasid nad nende juurde Peetruse ja Johannese. ¹⁵ Kui need sinna said, palvetasid nad nende eest, et nad saaksid Püha Vaimu. ¹⁶ Sest Vaim ei olnud veel langenud ühegi peale nende seast, vaid nemad olid ainult ristitud Issanda Jeesuse nimesse. ¹⁷ Siis panid nad oma käed nende peale, ja nad said Püha Vaimu. ¹⁸ Aga kui Siimon nägi, et Apostlite käte pealepanemise läbi anti Püha Vaimu, pakkus ta neile raha ¹⁹ ning ütles: "Andke ka minule see meelevald, et see, kelle peale ma iganes oma käed panen, saaks Püha Vaimu." ²⁰ Aga Peetrus ütles talle: "Kadugu su raha sinuga tükkis, et sa mõtled Jumala andi saada raha eest! ²¹ Sul ei ole jagu ega osa sellest sõnast, sest su süda ei ole avameelne Jumala ees. ²² Sellepärast paranda meelt sellest oma kurjusest ja palu Issandat, et sinu südame mõte sulle vahest andeks antaks. ²³ Sest ma näen sind viha sapis ja ülekohtu sõlmes kinni olevat!" ²⁴ Aga Siimon vastas ning ütles: "Paluge teie Issandat minu pärast, et minu peale ei tuleks midagi sellest, mis te olete öelnud!" ²⁵ Kui nad nüüd olid tunnistanud ja rääkinud Issanda sõna, pöördusid nad tagasi Jeruusalemma ja kuulutasid Evangeeliumi mitmes Samaariamaa alevis. ²⁶ Aga Issanda Ingel rääkis Filippusega ja ütles: "Tõuse ja mine lõuna poole seda teed, mis Jeruusalemmast läheb alla Gaasa poole, see on kõrbetee!" ²⁷ Ja ta tõusis ning läks. Ja vaata, üks Etioopia mees, etiooplaste kuninganna Kandake suur kojaülem, kogu ta varanduse hooldaja, kes oli tulnud Jeruusalemma Jumalat kummardama, ²⁸ oli tagasi minemas ning istus oma tõllas ja luges prohvet Jesaja raamatut. ²⁹ Ja Vaim ütles Filippusele: "Mine ja astu selle tõlla lähedale!" ³⁰ Aga kui Filippus jooksis tõlla juurde, kuulis ta teda lugevat prohvet Jesaja raamatut ja küsis: "Kas sa ka mõistad, mida sa loed?" ³¹ Tema ütles: "Kuidas ma võin mõista, kui keegi mind ei juhata?" Ja ta palus Filippust astuda tõlda ja istuda tema kõrvale. ³² Ja kirjakoht, mida ta luges, oli see: "Nagu lammas viidi Ta tappa, ja nagu tall oma niitja ees on vait, nõnda ei avanud Ta Oma suud! ³³ Teda alandades võeti kohus Ta pealt! Kes kõneleb Tema päritolust? Sest Ta elu võeti ära maa pealt!" ³⁴ Aga kojaülem hakkas rääkima Filippusega ning ütles: "Ma palun sind, kellest räägib prohvet seda? Kas enesest või kellestki teisest?" ³⁵ Aga Filippus avas oma suu ja lähtudes sellest kirjakohast ta kuulutas temale Evangeeliumi Jeesusest. ³⁶ Ent kui nad teed edasi läksid, jõudsid nad vee juurde ja kojaülem ütles: "Ennäe vett! Mis keelab, et mind ei peaks ristitama?" ³⁷ Aga Filippus ütles: "Kui sa usud kõigest südamest, siis võib see sündida!" Tema vastas ning ütles: "Mina usun, et Jeesus Kristus on Jumala Poeg!" ³⁸ Ja ta käskis tõlla peatada, ja nad astusid mõlemad maha vette, Filippus ja kojaülem; ja ta ristis teda. ³⁹ Aga kui nad veest välja tulid, võttis Issanda Vaim Filippuse ära, ja kojaülem ei näinud teda enam. Aga ta läks oma teed rõõmuga. ⁴⁰ Aga Filippus leiti Asdodist ja ta käis mööda maad ning kuulutas Evangeeliumi kõigile linnadele, kuni ta jõudis Kaisareasse.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ja Saulus oli myös mielistynyt hänen kuolemaansa. Niin sinä päivänä nousi suuri vaino seurakuntaa vastaan, joka oli Jerusalemissa; ja hajosivat kaikki ympäri Juudan ja Samarian maakuntaa, paitsi apostoleita. ² Ja muutamat Jumalaa pelkääväiset miehet korjasivat Stephanin, ja valittivat häntä suuresti. ³ Mutta Saulus raateli seurakuntaa ja kävi huone huoneelta, otti miehet ja vaimot ja panetti vankiuteen. ⁴ Ja ne hajonneet vaelsivat ympärinsä ja saarnasivat Jumalan sanaa. ⁵ Niin Philippus tuli Samarian kaupunkiin ja saarnasi heille Kristuksesta. ⁶ Mutta kansa otti vaarin yksimielisesti ja visusti Philippuksen sanoista, kuullen ja nähden ne merkit, jotka hän teki: ⁷ Sillä rumat henget läksivät ulos monesta, huutain suurella äänellä ja monta halvattua ja saattamatointa parani. ⁸ Ja suuri ilo tuli siihen kaupunkiin. ⁹ Mutta siellä oli mies, Simon nimeltä, joka siinä kaupungissa ennen noituuden virkaa piti ja oli Samarian kansan villinnyt, sanoen itsensä olevan jonkun suuren, ¹⁰ Jota kaikki sekä pienet että suuret kuulivat, sanoen: tämä on Jumalan voima, joka suuri on. ¹¹ Mutta he kuultelivat häntä mielellänsä, että hän kauvan aikaa oli heitä noituudellansa villinnyt. ¹² Mutta kuin he uskoivat Philippuksen, joka saarnasi Jumalan valtakunnasta ja Jesuksen Kristuksen nimestä, niin he kastettiin sekä miehet että vaimot. ¹³ Niin Simon myös itse uskoi, ja kuin hän kastettu oli, viipyi hän Philippuksen tykönä. Ja kuin hän näki ne merkit ja suuret voimalliset työt tapahtuvan, niin hän hämmästyi. ¹⁴ Mutta kuin apostolit, jotka Jerusalemissa olivat, kuulivat Samarian Jumalan sanan ottaneen vastaan, lähettivät he heidän tykönsä Pietarin ja Johanneksen, ¹⁵ Jotka, kuin he sinne tulivat alas, rukoilivat niiden edestä, että he olisivat saaneet Pyhän Hengen; ¹⁶ (Sillä ei hän ollut vielä yhdenkään niiden päälle laskettu alas, vaan olivat ainoastaan Herran Jesuksen nimeen kastetut.) ¹⁷ Niin he panivat kätensä heidän päällensä, ja he saivat Pyhän Hengen. ¹⁸ Mutta kuin Simon näki, että apostolien kätten päälle-panemisen kautta Pyhä Henki annettiin, taritsi hän heille rahaa, ¹⁹ Sanoen: antakaat minullekin se voima, että kenenkä päälle minä käteni panen, se sais Pyhän Hengen. ²⁰ Vaan Pietari sanoi hänelle: sinun rahas olkoon sinun kanssas kadotuksessa, että Jumalan lahjan luulet rahoilla ostettavan. ²¹ Ei sinulla ole osaa eikä arpaa tässä sanassa; sillä ei sinun sydämes ole oikia Jumalan edessä. ²² Sentähden tee parannus sinun pahuudestas, ja rukoile Jumalaa, että sydämes ajatukset sinulle anteeksi annettaisiin. ²³ Sillä minä näen sinun olevan katkerassa sapessa ja vääryyden solmussa. ²⁴ Niin Simon vastasi ja sanoi: rukoilkaat te Herraa minun edestäni, ettei mitään näistä, mitä te sanoitte, minun päälleni tulisi. ²⁵ Mutta kuin he olivat todistaneet ja puhuneet Herran sanan, palasivat he Jerusalemiin, ja saarnasivat evankeliumia monessa Samarian kylässä. ²⁶ Mutta Herran enkeli puhui Philippukselle ja sanoi: nouse ja mene lounaaseen päin, sitä tietä, joka Jerusalemista menee alas Gatsaan, joka kylmillä on. ²⁷ Niin hän nousi ja meni. Ja katso, yksi Etiopian mies, Etiopian kuningattaren Kandasen voimallinen kamaripalvelia, joka oli pantu kaiken hänen tavaransa päälle, se oli tullut Jerusalemiin rukoilemaan, ²⁸ Ja palasi sieltä, istuen vaunuissansa, ja luki Jesaias prophetaa. ²⁹ Niin Henki sanoi Philippukselle: käy ja mene lähemmä tätä vaunua. ³⁰ Niin Philippus juoksi lähemmä, ja kuuli hänen lukevan Jesaias prophetaa, ja sanoi: ymmärrätkös, mitäs luet? ³¹ Mutta hän sanoi: kuinka minä taidan ymmärtää, ellei joku minua johdata? Ja hän rukoili Philippusta, että hän tulis ja istuis hänen kanssansa. ³² Mutta se, mitä hän Raamatusta luki, oli tämä: hän on niinkuin lammas teuraaksi talutettu: ja niinkuin karitsa keritsiänsä edessä on ääneti, niin ei hänkään avannut suutansa, ³³ Hänen nöyryydessänsä on hänen tuomionsa otettu pois, mutta kuka taitaa sanoa ulos hänen elämänsä pituuden? sillä hänen elämänsä otetaan pois maasta. ³⁴ Niin kamaripalvelija vastasi Philippusta: minä rukoilen sinua, sanos: kenestä propheta näitä puhuu? itsestäänkö eli jostakin toisesta? ³⁵ Niin Philippus avasi suunsa ja rupesi tästä kirjoituksesta hänelle saarnaamaan evankeliumia Jesuksesta. ³⁶ Ja kuin he tiellä vaelsivat, tulivat he veden tykö, ja kamaripalvelia sanoi: katso, tässä on vesi: mikä estää minua kastamasta? ³⁷ Mutta Philippus sanoi: jos sinä kaikesta sydämestä uskot, niin tapahtukoon. Hän vastasi ja sanoi: minä uskon Jesuksen Kristuksen Jumalan Pojaksi. ³⁸ Niin hän käski seisahtaa vaunun; ja he astuivat molemmat veteen, Philippus ja kamaripalvelia, ja hän kasti hänen. ³⁹ Mutta kuin he vedestä astuivat ylös, tempasi Herran Henki Philippuksen, ja ei kamaripalvelia häntä enään nähnyt, vaan meni iloiten tietänsä myöten. ⁴⁰ Mutta Philippus löydettiin Atsotissa, ja vaelsi ympäri ja saarnasi joka kaupungissa evankeliumia, siihenasti kuin hän tuli Kesareaan.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Myös Saulus hyväksyi Stefanuksen surmaamisen. Ja sinä päivänä nousi suuri vaino Jerusalemin seurakuntaa vastaan; ja kaikki hajaantuivat ympäri Juudean ja Samarian paikkakuntia, paitsi apostolit. ² Ja muutamat jumalaapelkääväiset miehet hautasivat Stefanuksen ja pitivät hänelle suuret valittajaiset. ³ Mutta Saulus raateli seurakuntaa, kulki talosta taloon ja raastoi ulos miehiä ja naisia ja panetti heidät vankeuteen. ⁴ Ne, jotka näin olivat hajaantuneet, vaelsivat paikasta toiseen ja julistivat evankeliumin sanaa. ⁵ Ja Filippus meni Samarian kaupunkiin ja saarnasi heille Kristusta. ⁶ Ja kansa otti yksimielisesti vaarin siitä, mitä Filippus puhui, kun he kuulivat hänen sanansa ja näkivät ne tunnusteot, jotka hän teki. ⁷ Sillä monista, joissa oli saastaisia henkiä, ne lähtivät pois huutaen suurella äänellä; ja moni halvattu ja rampa parani. ⁸ Ja syntyi suuri ilo siinä kaupungissa. ⁹ Mutta ennestään oli kaupungissa muuan mies, nimeltä Simon, joka harjoitti noituutta ja hämmästytti Samarian kansaa sanoen olevansa jokin suuri; ¹⁰ ja häntä kuuntelivat kaikki, pienet ja suuret, ja sanoivat: "Tämä mies on se Jumalan voima, jota kutsutaan 'suureksi'". ¹¹ Ja he kuuntelivat häntä sentähden, että hän kauan aikaa oli noituuksillaan heitä hämmästyttänyt. ¹² Mutta kun he nyt uskoivat Filippusta, joka julisti evankeliumia Jumalan valtakunnasta ja Jeesuksen Kristuksen nimestä, niin he ottivat kasteen, sekä miehet että naiset. ¹³ Ja Simon itsekin uskoi, ja kasteen saatuansa hän pysytteli Filippuksen seurassa; ja nähdessään ihmeitä ja suuria, voimallisia tekoja hän hämmästyi. ¹⁴ Mutta kun apostolit, jotka olivat Jerusalemissa, kuulivat, että Samaria oli ottanut vastaan Jumalan sanan, lähettivät he heidän tykönsä Pietarin ja Johanneksen. ¹⁵ Ja tultuaan sinne nämä rukoilivat heidän edestänsä, että he saisivat Pyhän Hengen; ¹⁶ sillä hän ei ollut vielä tullut yhteenkään heistä, vaan he olivat ainoastaan kastetut Herran Jeesuksen nimeen. ¹⁷ Silloin he panivat kätensä heidän päällensä, ja he saivat Pyhän Hengen. ¹⁸ Mutta kun Simon näki, että Henki annettiin sille, jonka päälle apostolit panivat kätensä, toi hän heille rahaa ¹⁹ ja sanoi: "Antakaa minullekin se valta, että kenen päälle minä käteni panen, se saa Pyhän Hengen". ²⁰ Mutta Pietari sanoi hänelle: "Menkööt rahasi sinun kanssasi kadotukseen, koska luulet Jumalan lahjan olevan rahalla saatavissa. ²¹ Ei sinulla ole osaa eikä arpaa tähän sanaan, sillä sinun sydämesi ei ole oikea Jumalan edessä. ²² Tee siis parannus ja käänny tästä pahuudestasi ja rukoile Herraa-jos ehkä vielä sinun sydämesi ajatus sinulle anteeksi annetaan. ²³ Sillä minä näen sinun olevan täynnä katkeruuden sappea ja kiinni vääryyden siteissä." ²⁴ Niin Simon vastasi ja sanoi: "Rukoilkaa te minun edestäni Herraa, ettei minulle tapahtuisi mitään siitä, mitä te olette sanoneet". ²⁵ Ja kun he olivat todistaneet ja Herran sanaa puhuneet, palasivat he Jerusalemiin ja julistivat evankeliumia monessa Samarian kylässä. ²⁶ Mutta Filippukselle puhui Herran enkeli sanoen: "Nouse ja mene puolipäivään päin sille tielle, joka vie Jerusalemista alas Gassaan ja on autio". ²⁷ Ja hän nousi ja lähti. Ja katso, siellä kulki etiopialainen mies, Etiopian kuningattaren Kandaken hoviherra, mahtava mies ja koko hänen aarteistonsa hoitaja; hän oli tullut Jerusalemiin rukoilemaan ²⁸ ja oli nyt paluumatkalla ja istui vaunuissaan ja luki profeetta Esaiasta. ²⁹ Niin Henki sanoi Filippukselle: "Käy luo ja pysyttele lähellä noita vaunuja". ³⁰ Niin Filippus juoksi luo ja kuuli hänen lukevan profeetta Esaiasta ja sanoi: "Ymmärrätkö myös, mitä luet?" ³¹ Niin hän sanoi: "Kuinka minä voisin ymmärtää, ellei kukaan minua opasta?" Ja hän pyysi Filippusta nousemaan ja istumaan viereensä. ³² Ja se kirjoitus, jota hän luki, oli tämä: "Niinkuin lammas hänet viedään teuraaksi; ja niinkuin karitsa on ääneti keritsijänsä edessä, niin ei hänkään suutansa avaa. ³³ Hänen alentumisensa kautta hänen tuomionsa otetaan pois. Kuka kertoo hänen syntyperänsä? Sillä hänen elämänsä otetaan pois maan päältä." ³⁴ Ja hoviherra kysyi Filippukselta sanoen: "Minä pyydän sinua: sano, kenestä profeetta puhuu näin, itsestäänkö vai jostakin toisesta?" ³⁵ Niin Filippus avasi suunsa ja lähtien tästä kirjoituksesta julisti hänelle evankeliumia Jeesuksesta. ³⁶ Ja kulkiessaan tietä he tulivat veden ääreen; ja hoviherra sanoi: "Katso, tässä on vettä. Mikä estää kastamasta minua?" ³⁷ ³⁸ Ja hän käski pysäyttää vaunut, ja he astuivat kumpikin veteen, sekä Filippus että hoviherra, ja Filippus kastoi hänet. ³⁹ Ja kun he olivat astuneet ylös vedestä, tempasi Herran Henki Filippuksen pois, eikä hoviherra häntä enää nähnyt. Ja hän jatkoi matkaansa iloiten. ⁴⁰ Mutta Filippus tavattiin Asdodissa; ja hän vaelsi ympäri ja julisti evankeliumia kaikissa kaupungeissa, kunnes tuli Kesareaan.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Sòl menm te dakò pou yo te touye Etyèn. Menm jou sa a, yo kòmanse pèsekite legliz Jerizalèm lan anpil. Tout disip yo gaye kò yo nan peyi Jide ak nan peyi Samari. Se apòt yo sèlman ki te rete Jerizalèm. ² Kèk moun ki renmen Bondye te antere Etyèn, yo te kriye anpil pou li. ³ Sòl menm te soti pou l' fini ak legliz la. Li mache kay an kay, li trennen tout moun ki kwè yo rache yo met deyò pa fòs, li fè fèmen fanm kou gason nan prizon. ⁴ Disip ki te gaye nan peyi a t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la toupatou. ⁵ Se konsa Filip al nan yon lavil peyi Samari. Rive la li tanmen pale sou Kris la bay moun yo. ⁶ Foul moun yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo t'ap swiv sa Filip t'ap di yo: yo t'ap koute l', yo t'ap wè mirak li t'ap fè. ⁷ Move lespri yo t'ap pouse gwo rèl lè Filip t'ap chase yo soti sou anpil moun malad. Li te geri anpil moun paralize ak moun enfim tou. ⁸ Se konsa te gen yon gwo kontantman nan tout lavil la. ⁹ Nan lavil sa a te gen yon nonm yo rele Simon. Metye l' se fè maji. Simon sa a te yon sezisman pou tout moun Samari. Li te fè tèt li pase pou yon grannèg. ¹⁰ Tout moun, piti kou gran, t'ap swiv tou sa li t'ap fè. Yo t'ap di: Nonm sa a gen pouvwa Bondye, sa yo rele gwo pouvwa a, nan tèt li. ¹¹ Se konsa yo t'ap swiv tou sa li t'ap fè paske depi lontan yo te egare devan maji l' yo. ¹² Men, lè Filip anonse bon nouvèl peyi kote Bondye wa a, lè l' fè yo konnen non Jezi Kris la, moun yo kwè pawòl la; fanm kou gason resevwa batèm. ¹³ Ata Simon te kwè. Li menm tou li te resevwa batèm. Apre sa, li te toujou avèk Filip, li te sezi wè bèl bagay ak mirak li t'ap fè. ¹⁴ Apòt yo menm ki te lavil Jerizalèm, lè yo tande moun Samari te asepte pawòl Bondye a, yo voye Pyè ak Jan bò kote yo. ¹⁵ Lè Pyè ak Jan rive Samari, yo lapriyè pou moun ki kwè yo pou yo te kapab resevwa Sentespri, ¹⁶ paske Sentespri a pa t' ankò desann sou okenn nan yo. Yo te resevwa batèm nan non Seyè Jezi a sèlman. ¹⁷ Lè sa a, Pyè ak Jan mete men sou tèt yo, yo resevwa Sentespri. ¹⁸ Simon te wè jan moun yo te resevwa Sentespri lè apòt yo mete men sou tèt yo. Li ofri Pye ak Jan lajan. ¹⁹ Li di yo: Ban m' pouvwa sa a tou, pou lè m' mete men m' sou tèt yon moun li ka resevwa Sentespri a tou. ²⁰ Men, Pyè di li: Al mouri ansanm ak tout lajan ou lan! Sa Bondye fè kado, ou kwè moun ka achte sa ak lajan? ²¹ Nan travay sa a, pa gen anyen pou ou; ou pa gen dwa ladan l' paske kè ou pa dwat devan Bondye. ²² Wete move lide sa a nan tèt ou, lapriyè Bondye pou ou wè si la padonnen ou dèske ou te fè lide sa a. ²³ Paske mwen wè kè ou anmè kou fyèl, peche fin mare nanm ou. ²⁴ Lè sa a, Simon di Pyè ak Jan konsa: Tanpri souple, lapriyè Bondye pou mwen, pou anyen nan sa nou di a pa rive mwen. ²⁵ Lè Pyè ak Jan fin rann temwayaj sa a, lè yo fin bay mesaj Bondye a, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Sou tout wout la, yo t'ap bay bon nouvèl la nan anpil bouk peyi Samari. ²⁶ Yon zanj Bondye pale ak Filip, li di li: Leve non! Al nan direksyon sid, sou wout ki soti lavil Jerizalèm pou desann Gaza a. (Wout sa a, moun pa fasil pase sou li ankò.) ²⁷ Filip leve, li pati. Antan l' sou wout la, yon nonm parèt devan l'; se te yon moun peyi Letiopi, yon nèg konfyans. Li te yon gwo chèf nan peyi Letiopi. Se li menm ki te reskonsab tout richès Kandas, larenn peyi a. Li te moute lavil Jerizalèm pou adore Bondye. ²⁸ Antan li t'ap tounen nan peyi l', li te chita nan cha li, li t'ap li nan liv pwofèt Ezayi a. ²⁹ Sentespri di Filip konsa: Leve pye ou, rive toupre cha a. ³⁰ Filip kouri ale bò cha a, li tande moun peyi Letiopi a ki t'ap li nan liv pwofèt Ezayi a. Li mande li: Eske ou konprann sa w'ap li la a? ³¹ Nonm lan reponn li: Ki jan pou m' fè konprann si m' pa jwenn moun pou esplike mwen? Epi li mande Filip pou l' moute nan cha a, vin chita bò kote li. ³² Men pasaj li t'ap li nan liv la: Li te tankou yon mouton yo t'ap mennen labatwa. Li te tankou yon ti mouton ki pa janm rele lè y'ap taye lenn sou do li. Li pa janm louvri bouch li di anyen. ³³ Yo te desann li ba anpil, yo refize fè l' jistis. Pesonn p'ap nonmen non pitit pitit li. Paske, lavi l' sou latè fini nèt. ³⁴ Chèf peyi Letiopi a mande Filip: Di m' non, ki moun pwofèt la ap pale konsa: tèt pa l' osinon yon lòt moun? ³⁵ Filip pran pale: li kòmanse avèk pasaj li t'ap li nan liv la, li fè l' konnen bon nouvèl ki pale sou Jezi a. ³⁶ Antan yo prale konsa, yo rive yon kote ki te gen dlo. Lè sa a, nonm peyi Letiopi a di li: Bon, men dlo. Kisa ki pou anpeche m' resevwa batèm? ³⁷ Filip di li: Si ou kwè ak tout kè ou, ou ka resevwa batèm. Nonm lan reponn li: Mwen kwè Jezikri se Pitit Bondye a. ³⁸ Apre sa, li fè yo rete cha a. Filip desann nan dlo a ansanm ak gwo chèf la. Filip batize li. ³⁹ Lè yo soti nan dlo a, Lespri Bondye fè Filip disparèt, gwo chèf la pa janm wè l' ankò. Men, li kontinye chemen l' ak kè kontan. ⁴⁰ Filip menm rete konsa li wè li lavil Azòt. Apre sa, li pran mache. Nan tout ti bouk kote l' pase, li anonse bon nouvèl la jouk li rive lavil Sezare.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saulus pedig szintén javallta az õ megöletését. És támada azon a napon nagy üldözés a jeruzsálemi gyülekezet ellen, és mindnyájan eloszlának Júdeának és Samáriának tájaira, az apostolokat kivéve. ² Istvánt pedig eltakaríták kegyes férfiak, és nagy sírást tõnek õ rajta. ³ Saulus pedig pusztítá az anyaszentegyházat, házról-házra járva, és férfiakat és asszonyokat elõvonszolva, tömlöczbe veti vala. ⁴ Amazok annakokáért eloszolván, széjjeljártak, hirdetve az ígét. ⁵ És Filep lemenvén Samária városába, prédikálja vala nékik a Krisztust. ⁶ A sokaság pedig egy szívvel-lélekkel figyelmeze azokra, a miket Filep mondott, hallván és látván a jeleket, melyeket cselekedék. ⁷ Mert sokakból, kikben tisztátalan lelkek voltak, nagy hangon kiáltva kimenének; sok gutaütött és sánta pedig meggyógyula. ⁸ És lõn nagy öröm abban a városban. ⁹ Egy Simon nevû ember pedig már elõbb gyakorolta abban a városban az ördögi tudományt és elámította Samária népét, magát valami nagynak állítván: ¹⁰ Kire mindnyájan figyeltek, kicsinytõl nagyig, mondván: Ez az Istennek ama nagy ereje! ¹¹ Azért figyeltek pedig rá, mert sok idõn át az ördögi mesterségekkel elámította õket. ¹² De miután hittek Filepnek, a ki az Isten országára és a Jézus Krisztus nevére tartozó örvendetes dolgokat hirdeti vala, megkeresztelkedének mind férfiak, mind asszonyok. ¹³ És Simon maga is hûn, és megkeresztelkedvén, Fileppel tarta; és látván, hogy jelek és nagy erõk lesznek, álmélkodik vala. ¹⁴ Mikor pedig meghallották a jeruzsálemi apostolok, hogy Samária bevette az Isten ígéjét, elküldék azokhoz Pétert és Jánost; ¹⁵ Kik mikor lementek, könyörögtek érettük, hogy vegyenek Szent Lelket: ¹⁶ Mert még senkire azok közül nem szállott rá, csak meg voltak keresztelve az Úr Jézus nevére. ¹⁷ Akkor kezeiket reájuk veték, és võnek Szent Lelket. ¹⁸ Mikor pedig látta Simon, hogy az apostolok kézrátétele által adatik a Szent Lélek, megkínálá õket pénzzel, ¹⁹ Mondván: Adjátok nékem is ezt a hatalmat, hogy valakire vetem kezeimet, Szent Lelket vegyen. ²⁰ De Péter monda néki: A te pénzed veled együtt veszszen el, mivel azt gondoltad, hogy az Istennek ajándéka pénzen megvehetõ. ²¹ Nincsen néked részed, sem örökséged e dologban, mert a te szíved nem igaz az Isten elõtt. ²² Térj meg azért ezen gonoszságodból, és kérjed az Istent, ha talán megbocsáttatik néked szívednek gondolatja. ²³ Mert látom, hogy te keserûséges méregben és álnokságnak kötelékében leledzel. ²⁴ Felelvén pedig Simon, monda: Könyörögjetek ti énérettem az Úrnak, hogy semmi azokból, a miket mondtatok, reám ne jõjjön. ²⁵ Azok annakokáért, minekutána bizonyságot tettek, és hirdették az Úrnak ígéjét, megtérének Jeruzsálembe, és a Samaritánusoknak sok falujában prédikálák az evangyéliomot. ²⁶ Az Úrnak angyala pedig szóla Filepnek, mondván: Kelj fel és menj el dél felé, arra az útra, mely Jeruzsálembõl Gázába megy alá. Járatlan ez. ²⁷ És felkelvén, elméne. És ímé egy szerecsen férfiú, Kandakénak, a szerecsenek királyasszonyának hatalmas komornyikja, ki az õ egész kincstárának felügyelõje vala, ki feljött imádkozni Jeruzsálembe; ²⁸ És visszatérõben volt és az õ szekerén ül vala, és olvasá Ésaiás prófétát. ²⁹ Monda pedig a Lélek Filepnek: Járulj oda és csatlakozzál ehhez a szekérhez! ³⁰ Filep azért oda futamodván, hallá, a mint az Ésaiás prófétát olvassa vala. És monda: Vajjon érted-é, a mit olvasol? ³¹ Õ pedig monda: Mimódon érthetném, ha csak valaki meg nem magyarázza nékem? És kéré Filepet, hogy felhágván, üljön mellé. ³² Az írásnak helye pedig, melyet olvasott, ez vala: Mint juh viteték mészárszékre, és mint a bárány az õ nyírõje elõtt néma, azonképen nem nyitotta fel az õ száját. ³³ Az õ megaláztatásában az õ ítélete elvétetett, az õ nemzetségét pedig kicsoda sorolja el? mert elvétetik a földrõl az õ élete. ³⁴ Felelvén pedig a komornyik Filepnek, monda: Kérlek téged, kirõl mondja ezt a próféta? Magáról-é, vagy más valakirõl? ³⁵ Filep pedig száját megnyitván, és elkezdvén ezen az íráson, hirdeté néki a Jézust. ³⁶ Mikor pedig menének az úton, jutának egy vízhez; és monda a komornyik: Ímhol a víz: mi gátol, hogy megkeresztelkedjem? ³⁷ Filep pedig monda: Ha teljes szívbõl hiszel, meglehet. Az pedig felelvén, monda: Hiszem, hogy a Jézus Krisztus az Isten Fia. ³⁸ És megállítá a szekeret; és leszállának mindketten a vízbe, Filep és a komornyik; és megkeresztelé õt. ³⁹ Mikor pedig a vízbõl feljöttek, az Úrnak Lelke elragadá Filepet; és többé nem látta õt a komornyik, mert [tovább] méne az õ útján örömmel. ⁴⁰ Filep pedig találtaték Azótusban; és széjjeljárva hirdeté az evangyéliomot minden városnak, míglen Czézáreába juta.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Dan Saulus senang juga atas pembunuhan itu. Hari itu juga jemaat di Yerusalem mulai dikejar-kejar, sehingga semua orang beriman, kecuali rasul-rasul, terpencar-pencar ke seluruh daerah Yudea dan Samaria. ² Orang-orang yang takut kepada Allah menguburkan Stefanus dan menangisi dia dengan sangat sedih. ³ Tetapi Saulus terus saja berusaha menghancurkan jemaat. Ia pergi dari rumah ke rumah dan menyeret ke luar orang-orang percaya, lalu memasukkan mereka ke dalam penjara. ⁴ Orang-orang percaya yang sudah terpencar itu memberitakan Kabar Baik dari Allah itu ke mana-mana. ⁵ Filipus pergi ke kota Samaria dan memberitakan kepada orang-orang di sana tentang Raja Penyelamat yang dijanjikan Allah. ⁶ Ketika orang-orang mendengar Filipus berbicara dan mereka melihat keajaiban-keajaiban yang dibuatnya, banyak dari mereka yang memperhatikan apa yang dikatakan oleh Filipus. ⁷ Sebab roh-roh jahat sudah keluar dengan menjerit-jerit dari banyak orang yang kemasukan setan. Orang-orang lumpuh dan timpang pun banyak yang disembuhkan. ⁸ Maka orang-orang di kota Samaria itu gembira sekali. ⁹ Di kota itu ada seorang laki-laki bernama Simon, yang sudah beberapa waktu lamanya membuat orang-orang Samaria terpesona akan ilmu sihirnya. Ia mengatakan kepada mereka bahwa ia orang yang luar biasa. ¹⁰ Maka semua orang di kota itu dari semua lapisan masyarakat sangat memperhatikan dia. "Orang ini adalah kekuatan Allah yang terkenal sebagai 'Kekuatan Besar' itu," kata mereka. ¹¹ Sudah lama sekali ia mempesona orang-orang dengan kekuatan sihirnya, sehingga mereka sangat memperhatikan dia. ¹² Tetapi Filipus memberitakan kepada mereka tentang Kabar Baik mengenai bagaimana Allah akan memerintah sebagai raja dan tentang Yesus Kristus, Raja Penyelamat itu. Maka mereka percaya akan berita yang disampaikan oleh Filipus, lalu mereka dibaptis--baik orang laki-laki maupun orang wanita. ¹³ Simon sendiri juga percaya. Dan setelah dibaptis, ia terus mengikuti Filipus. Keajaiban-keajaiban yang terjadi membuat Simon terheran-heran. ¹⁴ Rasul-rasul di Yerusalem mendengar bahwa orang-orang Samaria sudah menerima perkataan Allah. Oleh sebab itu mereka mengutus Petrus dan Yohanes ke sana. ¹⁵ Ketika Petrus dan Yohanes tiba, mereka berdoa untuk orang-orang Samaria itu supaya mereka mendapat Roh Allah, ¹⁶ sebab Roh Allah belum datang menguasai seorang pun dari mereka; mereka baru dibaptis atas nama Tuhan Yesus saja. ¹⁷ Lalu Petrus dan Yohanes meletakkan tangan mereka ke atas orang-orang Samaria itu; maka mereka menerima Roh Allah. ¹⁸ Simon melihat bahwa karena tangan rasul-rasul diletakkan ke atas orang-orang itu, Roh Allah diberi kepada mereka. Karena itu Simon membawa uang kepada Petrus dan Yohanes, ¹⁹ lalu berkata, "Berilah kepada saya kuasa itu juga supaya kalau tangan saya diletakkan pada siapa saja, orang itu akan menerima Roh Allah." ²⁰ Tetapi Petrus menjawab, "Celakalah kau dan uangmu! Kaukira pemberian Allah dapat dibeli dengan uang? ²¹ Engkau tidak punya hak untuk ikut di dalam pekerjaan kami, sebab hatimu tidak benar terhadap Allah. ²² Sebab itu tinggalkanlah maksudmu yang jahat itu, dan mintalah kepada Tuhan supaya Ia mengampuni pikiranmu yang jahat itu! ²³ Sebab saya tahu engkau penuh dengan iri hati dan diperbudak oleh kejahatan." ²⁴ Lalu Simon berkata kepada Petrus dan Yohanes, "Tolonglah minta kepada Tuhan supaya tidak satu pun dari yang saudara-saudara katakan itu terjadi padaku." ²⁵ Setelah mereka memberikan kesaksian dan memberitakan perkataan Tuhan, Petrus dan Yohanes kembali ke Yerusalem. Dan di perjalanan, mereka memberitakan Kabar Baik itu di banyak kampung-kampung Samaria. ²⁶ Seorang malaikat Tuhan berkata kepada Filipus, "Ayo berangkat! Pergilah ke arah selatan ke jalan yang menghubungkan Yerusalem dengan Gaza." Jalan itu sepi. ²⁷ Maka Filipus pun berangkatlah. Pada waktu itu ada seorang pegawai istana Etiopia yang sedang dalam perjalanan pulang ke negerinya. Orang itu seorang pegawai tinggi yang bertanggung jawab atas semua kekayaan Kandake, ratu negeri Etiopia. Orang itu telah pergi ke Yerusalem untuk berbakti kepada Allah dan sekarang sedang kembali dengan keretanya. Sementara duduk di dalam kendaraannya itu ia membaca Buku Nabi Yesaya. ²⁸ (8:27) ²⁹ Roh Allah berkata kepada Filipus, "Pergilah mendekati kendaraan itu." ³⁰ Maka Filipus pergi mendekati kendaraan itu, lalu ia mendengar orang itu membaca Buku Yesaya. Filipus bertanya kepadanya, "Apakah Tuan mengerti yang Tuan baca itu?" ³¹ Orang itu menjawab, "Bagaimana aku mengerti, kalau tidak ada yang menjelaskannya kepadaku?" Lalu ia mengajak Filipus naik ke kereta dan duduk bersama-sama dia. ³² Inilah ayat-ayat yang dibacanya itu, "Ia seperti domba yang digiring untuk disembelih, seperti anak domba yang tidak mengembik kalau bulunya digunting, begitulah Ia tidak mengucapkan sepatah kata pun. ³³ Ia dihina dan diperlakukan dengan tidak adil. Nyawa-Nya dicabut dari muka bumi sehingga seorang pun tidak ada yang dapat menceritakan tentang keturunan-Nya." ³⁴ Pegawai tinggi dari Etiopia itu berkata kepada Filipus, "Coba beritahukan kepada saya, siapa yang dimaksudkan oleh nabi ini? Dirinya sendirikah atau orang lain?" ³⁵ Maka Filipus pun mulai berbicara; ia memakai ayat-ayat itu sebagai permulaan untuk memberitakan Kabar Baik tentang Yesus kepada pegawai tinggi itu. ³⁶ Di tengah perjalanan, mereka sampai ke suatu tempat yang ada air. Pegawai itu berkata, "Lihat itu ada air! Apa lagi masih kurang untuk membaptis saya?" ³⁷ (Filipus berkata, "Kalau Tuan percaya dengan sepenuh hati, Tuan boleh dibaptis." "Saya percaya Yesus Kristus adalah Anak Allah," kata pegawai tinggi dari Etiopia itu.) ³⁸ Lalu ia menyuruh keretanya berhenti; kemudian mereka berdua, Filipus dan pegawai itu, turun ke dalam air dan Filipus membaptis dia. ³⁹ Ketika mereka keluar dari air, Roh Allah mengambil Filipus dari situ. Pegawai tinggi dari Etiopia itu tidak melihat dia lagi. Dengan gembira pegawai tinggi itu meneruskan perjalanannya. ⁴⁰ Tahu-tahu Filipus sudah ada di Asdod. Dan ketika ia meneruskan perjalanannya, ia mengabarkan Kabar Baik tentang Yesus di semua kota sampai ia tiba di Kaisarea.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ OR Saulo era consenziente alla morte d’esso. Ed in quel tempo vi fu gran persecuzione contro alla chiesa ch’era in Gerusalemme; e tutti furono dispersi per le contrade della Giudea, e della Samaria, salvo gli apostoli. ² Ed alcuni uomini religiosi portarono a seppellire Stefano, e fecero gran cordoglio di lui. ³ Ma Saulo disertava la chiesa, entrando di casa in casa; e trattine uomini e donne, li metteva in prigione. ⁴ Coloro adunque che furono dispersi andavano attorno, evangelizzando la parola. ⁵ E Filippo discese nella città di Samaria, e predicò loro Cristo. ⁶ E le turbe di pari consentimento attendevano alle cose dette da Filippo, udendo, e veggendo i miracoli ch’egli faceva. ⁷ Poichè gli spiriti immondi uscivano di molti che li aveano, gridando con gran voce; molti paralitici ancora, e zoppi, erano sanati. ⁸ E vi fu grande allegrezza in quella città. ⁹ Or in quella città era prima stato un uomo, chiamato per nome Simone, che esercitava le arti magiche, e seduceva la gente di Samaria, dicendosi esser qualche grand’uomo. ¹⁰ E tutti, dal maggiore al minore, attendevano a lui, dicendo: Costui è la gran potenza di Dio. ¹¹ Ora attendevano a lui, perciocchè già da lungo tempo li avea dimentati con le sue arti magiche. ¹² Ma, quando ebbero creduto a Filippo, il quale evangelizzava le cose appartenenti al regno di Dio, ed al nome di Gesù Cristo, furono battezzati tutti, uomini e donne. ¹³ E Simone credette anch’egli; ed essendo stato battezzato, si riteneva del continuo con Filippo; e, veggendo le potenti operazioni, ed i segni ch’erano fatti, stupiva. ¹⁴ Ora, gli apostoli ch’erano in Gerusalemme, avendo inteso che Samaria avea ricevuta la parola di Dio, mandarono loro Pietro e Giovanni. ¹⁵ I quali, essendo discesi là, orarono per loro, acciocchè ricevessero lo Spirito Santo. ¹⁶ Perciocchè esso non era ancor caduto sopra alcun di loro; ma solamente erano stati battezzati nel nome del Signor Gesù. ¹⁷ Allora imposero loro le mani, ed essi ricevettero lo Spirito Santo. ¹⁸ Or Simone, veggendo che per l’imposizion delle mani degli apostoli, lo Spirito Santo era dato, proferse lor danari, dicendo: ¹⁹ Date ancora a me questa podestà, che colui al quale io imporrò le mani riceva lo Spirito Santo. ²⁰ Ma Pietro gli disse: Vadano i tuoi danari teco in perdizione, poichè tu hai stimato che il dono di Dio si acquisti con danari. ²¹ Tu non hai parte, nè sorte alcuna in questa parola; perciocchè il tuo cuore non è diritto davanti a Dio. ²² Ravvediti adunque di questa tua malvagità; e prega Iddio, se forse ti sarà rimesso il pensier del tuo cuore. ²³ Perciocchè io ti veggo essere in fiele d’amaritudine, e in legami d’iniquità. ²⁴ E Simone, rispondendo, disse: Fate voi per me orazione al Signore, che nulla di ciò che avete detto venga sopra me. ²⁵ Essi adunque, dopo aver testificata, ed annunziata la parola del Signore, se ne ritornarono in Gerusalemme; ed evangelizzarono a molte castella de’ Samaritani. ²⁶ OR un angelo del Signore parlò a Filippo, dicendo: Levati, e vattene verso il mezzodì, alla via che scende di Gerusalemme in Gaza, la quale è deserta. ²⁷ Ed egli, levatosi, vi andò; ed ecco un uomo Etiopo, eunuco, barone di Candace, regina degli Etiopi, ch’era soprantendente di tutti i tesori d’essa, il quale era venuto in Gerusalemme per adorare. ²⁸ Or egli se ne tornava; e, sedendo sopra il suo carro, leggeva il profeta Isaia. ²⁹ E lo Spirito disse a Filippo: Accostati, e giungi questo carro. ³⁰ E Filippo accorse, ed udì ch’egli leggeva il profeta Isaia, e gli disse: Intendi tu le cose che tu leggi? ³¹ Ed egli disse: E come potrei io intenderle, se non che alcuno mi guidi? E pregò Filippo che montasse, e sedesse con lui. ³² Or il luogo della scrittura ch’egli leggeva era questo: Egli è stato menato all’uccisione, come una pecora; ed a guisa d’agnello che è mutolo dinanzi a colui che lo tosa, così egli non ha aperta la sua bocca. ³³ Per lo suo abbassamento la sua condannazione è stata tolta; ma chi racconterà la sua età? poichè la sua vita è stata tolta dalla terra. ³⁴ E l’eunuco fece motto a Filippo, e disse: Di cui, ti prego, dice questo il profeta? lo dice di sè stesso, o pur d’un altro? ³⁵ E Filippo, avendo aperta la bocca, e cominciando da questa scrittura, gli evangelizzò Gesù. ³⁶ E, mentre andavano al lor cammino, giunsero ad una cert’acqua. E l’eunuco disse: Ecco dell’acqua, che impedisce che io non sia battezzato? ³⁷ E Filippo disse: Se tu credi con tutto il cuore, egli è lecito. Ed egli, rispondendo, disse: Io credo che Gesù Cristo è il Figliuol di Dio. ³⁸ E comandò che il carro si fermasse; ed amendue, Filippo e l’eunuco, disceser nell’acqua; e Filippo lo battezzò. ³⁹ E quando furono saliti fuori dell’acqua, lo Spirito del Signore rapì Filippo, e l’eunuco nol vide più; perciocchè egli andò a suo cammino tutto allegro. ⁴⁰ E Filippo si ritrovò in Azot; e, passando, evangelizzò a tutte le città, finchè venne in Cesarea.

Japanese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ サウロは彼の殺さるるを可しとせり。その日エルサレムに在る教會に對ひて大なる迫害おこり、使徒たちの他は皆ユダヤ及びサマリヤの地方に散さる。 ² 敬虔なる人々ステパノを葬り、彼のために大に胸打てり。 ³ サウロは教會をあらし、家々に入り男女を引出して獄に付せり。 ⁴ ここに散されたる者ども歴巡りて御言を宣べしが、 ⁵ ピリポはサマリヤの町に下りてキリストの事を傳ふ。 ⁶ 群衆ピリポの行ふ徴を見聞して、心を一つにし、謹みて其の語る事どもを聽けり。 ⁷ これ多くの人より、之に憑きたる穢れし靈、大聲に叫びて出で、また中風の者と跛者と多く醫されたるに因る。 ⁸ この故にその町に大なる勸喜おこれり。 ⁹ ここにシモンといふ人あり、前にその町にて魔術を行ひ、サマリヤ人を驚かして自ら大なる者と稱へたり。 ¹⁰ 小より大に至る凡ての人つつしみて之に聽き『この人は、いわゆる神の大能なり』といふ。 ¹¹ かく謹みて聽けるは、久しき間その魔術に驚かされし故なり。 ¹² 然るにピリポが、神の國とイエス・キリストの御名とに就きて宣傳ふるを人々信じたれば、男女ともにバプテスマを受く。 ¹³ シモンも亦みづから信じ、バプテスマを受けて、常にピリポと偕に居り、その行ふ徴と、大なる能力とを見て驚けり。 ¹⁴ エルサレムに居る使徒たちは、サマリヤ人、神の御言を受けたりと聞きて、ペテロとヨハネとを遣したれば、 ¹⁵ 彼ら下りて人々の聖靈を受けんことを祈れり。 ¹⁶ これ主イエスの名によりてバプテスマを受けしのみにて、聖靈いまだ其の一人にだに降らざりしなり。 ¹⁷ ここに二人のもの彼らの上に手を按きたれば、みな聖靈を受けたり。 ¹⁸ 使徒たちの按手によりて其の御靈を與へられしを見て、シモン金を持ち來りて言ふ、 ¹⁹ 『わが手を按くすべての人の聖靈を受くるやうに、此の權威を我にも與へよ』 ²⁰ ペテロ彼に言ふ『なんぢの銀は汝とともに亡ぶべし、なんぢ金をもて神の賜物を得んと思へばなり。 ²¹ なんぢは此の事に關係なく干與なし、なんぢの心、神の前に正しからず。 ²² 然ればこの惡を悔改めて主に祈れ、なんぢが心の念あるひは赦されん。 ²³ 我なんぢが苦き膽汁と不義の繋とに居るを見るなり』 ²⁴ シモン答へて言ふ『なんぢらの言ふ所のこと一つも我に來らぬやう、汝ら我がために主に祈れ』 ²⁵ かくて使徒たちは證をなし、主の御言を語りて後、サマリヤ人の多くの村に福音を宣傳へつつエルサレムに歸れり。 ²⁶ 然るに主の使ピリポに語りて言ふ『なんぢ起ちて南に向ひエルサレムよりガザに下る道に往け。そこは荒野なり』 ²⁷ ピリポ起ちて往きたれば、視よ、エテオピヤの女王カンダケの權官にして、凡ての寳物を掌どる閹人エテオピヤ人あり、禮拜の爲にエルサレムに上りしが、 ²⁸ 歸る途すがら馬車に坐して預言者イザヤの書を讀みゐたり。 ²⁹ 御靈ピリポに言ひ給ふ『ゆきて此の馬車に近寄れ』 ³⁰ ピリポ走り寄りて、その預言者イザヤの書を讀むを聽きて言ふ『なんぢ其の讀むところを悟るか』 ³¹ 閹人いふ『導く者なくば、いかで悟り得ん』而してピリポに、乘りて共に坐せんことを請ふ。 ³² その讀むところの聖書の文は是なり『彼は羊の屠場に就くが如く曳かれ、羔羊のその毛を剪る者のまへに默すがごとく口を開かず。 ³³ 卑しめられて審判を奪はれたり、誰かその代の状を述べ得んや。その生命地上より取られたればなり』 ³⁴ 閹人こたへてピリポに言ふ『預言者は誰に就きて斯く云へるぞ、己に就きてか、人に就きてか、請ふ示せ』 ³⁵ ピリポ口を開き、この聖句を始としてイエスの福音を宣傳ふ。 ³⁶ 途を進むる程に水ある所に來りたれば、閹人いふ『視よ、水あり、我がバプテスマを受くるに何の障りかある』 ³⁷ ³⁸ 乃ち命じて馬車を止め、ピリポと閹人と二人ともに水に下りて、ピリポ閹人にバプテスマを授く。 ³⁹ 彼ら水より上りしとき、主の靈ピリポを取去りたれば、閹人ふたたび彼を見ざりしが、喜びつつ其の途に進み往けり。 ⁴⁰ かくてピリポはアゾトに現れ、町々を經て福音を宣傳へつつカイザリヤに到れり。

Un Sauls piekrita viņa nonāvēšanai. ¹ Bet tanī dienā notika liela Jeruzalemes baznīcas vajāšana; un visi, izņemot apustuļus, tika izklīdināti Jūdejas un Samarijas apvidos. ² Tad dievbijīgie vīri apbedīja Stefanu un ļoti viņu apraudāja. ³ Bet Sauls postīja Baznīcu, iedams namos, tverot vīriešus un sievietes un nododot tos cietumā. ⁴ Bet izklīdinātie staigāja apkārt, sludinādami Dieva vārdu. ⁵ Tad Filips nogāja Samarijas pilsētā un sludināja tiem Kristu. ⁶ Bet ļaudis uzmanīgi un vienprātīgi klausījās, ko Filips runāja, un redzēja zīmes, ko viņš darīja. ⁷ Jo no daudziem, kas bija ļauno garu apsēsti, tie izgāja, stiprā balsī kliegdami; bet daudzi triekas skartie un tizlie tika izdziedināti. ⁸ Un liels prieks bija tanī pilsētā. ⁹ Bet kāds vīrs, vārdā Sīmanis, kas agrāk pilsētā bija burvis, krāpa Samarijas ļaudis, sacīdams, ka viņš esot kas liels. ¹⁰ Viņu ievēroja visi: no maza līdz lielam, sacīdami: Šis ir tā sauktais lielais Dieva spēks. ¹¹ Bet viņi tāpēc to ievēroja, ka tas ilgu laiku ar savām burvībām tos bija apmulsinājis. ¹² Bet kad tie noticēja Filipam, kas sludināja Dieva valstību, vīrieši un sievietes tika kristīti Jēzus Kristus vārdā. ¹³ Tad arī pats Sīmanis kļuva ticīgs un, pieņēmis kristību, piebiedrojās Filipam, bet viņš, redzēdams notiekam zīmes un lielus brīnumus, apmulsis brīnījās. ¹⁴ Kad apustuļi, kas bija Jeruzalemē, izdzirda, ka Samarija pieņēmusi Dieva vārdu, tie sūtīja pie viņiem Pēteri un Jāni. ¹⁵ Tie atnākuši lūdza Dievu par viņiem, lai tie saņemtu Svēto Garu. ¹⁶ Jo Tas vēl ne pār vienu no viņiem nebija nācis, bet viņi bija kristīti tikai Kunga Jēzus vārdā. ¹⁷ Tad viņi uzlika tiem rokas, un tie saņēma Svēto Garu. ¹⁸ Bet Sīmanis, redzēdams, ka caur apustuļu roku uzlikšanu tiek dots Svētais Gars, piedāvāja tiem naudu, ¹⁹ Sacīdams: Dodiet arī man šo varu, lai ikviens, kam es uzlikšu rokas, saņemtu Svēto Garu! Bet Pēteris sacīja viņam: ²⁰ Tava nauda lai iet ar tevi pazušanā, jo tu domāji Dieva dāvanu par naudu iemantot! ²¹ Tev nav ne daļas, nedz mantojuma no šīs mācības, jo tava sirds nav taisnīga Dieva priekšā. ²² Tāpēc atgriezies no šī sava ļaunuma un lūdz Dievu!

Un, lūk, kāds vīrs no Etiopijas, einuhs, Etiopijas ķēniņienes Kandakes pilnvarnieks, kas pārvaldīja visas viņas mantnīcas, bija ieradies Jeruzalemē pielūgt Dievu. ²⁸ Un atceļā, sēdēdams savos ratos, viņš lasīja pravieti Isaju. ²⁹ Tad Gars sacīja Filipam: Ej un piebiedrojies šiem ratiem! ³⁰ Filips piesteidzies un izdzirdis viņu lasām pravieti Isaju, sacīja: Vai tu domā, ka saproti, ko tu lasi? ³¹ Viņš sacīja: Kā lai es to varu, ja man neviens nepaskaidro? Un viņš lūdza Filipu iekāpt un apsēsties pie viņa. ³² Bet Rakstu vieta, ko viņš lasīja, bija šī: It kā avs, ko veda nokaušanai, un kā jērs kluss cirpēja priekšā, tā Viņš neatvēra savu muti. ³³ Viņa pazemošanai tiesa tika atcelta. Kas izstāstīs Viņa cilti, jo Viņa dzīvība tiek paņemta no šīs zemes? (Is.53,7-8) ³⁴ Tad einuhs jautāja Filipam, sacīdams: Es tevi lūdzu, par ko pravietis to saka? Par sevi vai par kādu citu? ³⁵ Bet Filips, atdarījis savu muti, un iesākdams ar šiem Rakstiem, sludināja viņam Jēzu. ³⁶ Un viņi, ceļu turpinādami, nokļuva pie kāda ūdens; un einuhs sacīja: Lūk, ūdens! Kas mani kavē kristīties? ³⁷ Filips sacīja: Ja tu no visas sirds tici, tad to var. Un viņš atbildēja, sacīdams: Es ticu, ka Jēzus Kristus ir Dieva Dēls. ³⁸ Un viņš pavēlēja apturēt ratus, un viņi abi, Filips un einuhs, iekāpa ūdenī, un viņš to kristīja. ³⁹ Kad viņi izkāpa no ūdens, tā Kunga Gars aizrāva Filipu, un einuhs viņu vairs neredzēja, bet līksms turpināja ceļu. ⁴⁰ Bet Filips tika atrasts Azotā un, evaņģēliju sludinādams, pārstaigāja visas pilsētas, kamēr nonāca Cēzarejā.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saulius pritarė Stepono nužudymui. Tomis dienomis prasidėjo didelis Jeruzalės bažnyčios persekiojimas. Visi, išskyrus apaštalus, išsisklaidė po Judėjos ir Samarijos apylinkes. ² Dievobaimingi vyrai palaidojo Steponą ir labai jį apraudojo. ³ O Saulius niokojo bažnyčią, naršydamas po namus, tempdamas iš jų vyrus ir moteris ir siųsdamas juos į kalėjimą. ⁴ Tuo tarpu išblaškytieji keliaudami skelbė žodį. ⁵ Pilypas, nuvykęs į Samarijos miestą, ėmė skelbti gyventojams Kristų. ⁶ Minios vieningai klausėsi Pilypo žodžių, girdėdamos ir matydamos, kokius jis darė stebuklus. ⁷ Iš daugelio apsėstųjų, baisiai šaukdamos, išeidavo netyrosios dvasios, išgydavo daug paralyžiuotųjų ir luošų. ⁸ Ir didelis džiaugsmas pasklido po tą miestą. ⁹ Mieste buvo vienas vyras, vardu Simonas, kuris nuo seno užsiiminėjo magija, stebindamas Samarijos gyventojus ir sakydamas esąs nepaprastas. ¹⁰ Visinuo mažo iki dideliojį gerbė ir sakė: “Jis yra didelė Dievo jėga”. ¹¹ Gerbė jį todėl, kad ilgą laiką šis stebino juos savo kerais. ¹² Bet patikėję Pilypu, kuris skelbė Dievo karalystę ir Jėzaus Kristaus vardą, ėmė krikštytis vyrai ir moterys. ¹³ Ir pats Simonas įtikėjo ir pasikrikštijęs nesitraukė nuo Pilypo. Jis buvo apstulbintas, matydamas daromus ženklus ir stebuklus. ¹⁴ Apaštalai Jeruzalėje, išgirdę, jog Samarija priėmė Dievo žodį, nusiuntė ten Petrą ir Joną, ¹⁵ kurie atvykę ėmė melstis už samariečius, kad jie priimtų Šventąją Dvasią. ¹⁶ Mat Ji dar nebuvo nė vienam jų nužengusi, ir jie tebuvo pakrikštyti Viešpaties Jėzaus vardu. ¹⁷ Tuomet apaštalai dėjo ant jų rankas, ir tie gavo Šventąją Dvasią. ¹⁸ Pamatęs, kad apaštalų rankų uždėjimu teikiama Šventoji Dvasia, Simonas pasiūlė jiems pinigų, ¹⁹ sakydamas: “Duokite ir man tą jėgą, kad, kam tik uždėsiu rankas, gautų Šventąją Dvasią”. ²⁰ Bet Petras jam tarė: “Kad tu pražūtum kartu su savo pinigais, jei sumanei už pinigus gauti Dievo dovaną! ²¹ Šiame dalyke tu negali turėti nė mažiausios dalies, nes tavo širdis neteisi prieš Dievą. ²² Taigi atgailauk dėl šio savo nedorumo ir melsk Dievągal Jis atleis tavo širdies sumanymą. ²³ Matau, tu pilnas karčios tulžies ir esi nedorybės pančiuose”. ²⁴ Simonas atsakė: “Melskite už mane Viešpatį, kad manęs neištiktų tai, ką jūs sakėte”. ²⁵ O jie, paliudiję ir apsakę Viešpaties žodį, pasuko atgal į Jeruzalę, skelbdami Evangeliją daugelyje Samarijos kaimų. ²⁶ Viešpaties angelas prabilo į Pilypą, sakydamas: “Kelkis ir eik pietų link ant kelio, kuris eina iš Jeruzalės į Gazą. Jis visiškai tuščias”. ²⁷ Jis pakilo ir iškeliavo. Ir štai važiuoja etiopas eunuchas, aukštas Etiopijos karalienės Kandakės dvariškis, viso jos iždo valdytojas. Jis buvo atvykęs į Jeruzalę pagarbinti, ²⁸ o dabar keliavo namo ir, sėdėdamas savo vežime, skaitė pranašą Izaiją. ²⁹ Dvasia pasakė Pilypui: “Prieik ir laikykis greta šito vežimo”. ³⁰ Pribėgęs Pilypas išgirdo jį skaitant pranašą Izaiją ir paklausė: “Ar supranti, ką skaitai?” ³¹ Šis atsiliepė: “Kaip galiu suprasti, jei man niekas nepaaiškina?!” Ir jis pakvietė Pilypą lipti į vežimą ir sėstis šalia. ³² Rašto vieta, kurią jis skaitė, buvo ši: “Tarsi avį vedė Jį į pjovyklą, ir kaip ėriukas, kuris tyli kerpamas, Jis neatvėrė savo lūpų. ³³ Jis buvo pažemintas ir neteisingai nuteistas. Kas apsakys Jo giminę, jeigu Jo gyvenimas žemėje buvo nutrauktas?!” ³⁴ Eunuchas paklausė Pilypą: “Prašom paaiškinti, apie ką čia pranašas kalba? Apie save ar apie ką kitą?” ³⁵ Atvėręs lūpas ir pradėjęs nuo tos Rašto vietos, Pilypas jam paskelbė Gerąją naujieną apie Jėzų. ³⁶ Keliaudami toliau, jie privažiavo vandenį. “Štai vanduo,tarė eunuchas,kas gi kliudo man pasikrikštyti?” ³⁷ Pilypas tarė: “Jei tiki iš visos širdies, tai galima”. Tas atsakė: “Tikiu, kad Jėzus Kristus yra Dievo Sūnus”. ³⁸ Jis liepė sustabdyti vežimą, ir jie abuPilypas ir eunuchasišlipę įbrido į vandenį, ir Pilypas jį pakrikštijo. ³⁹ Išėjus iš vandens, Viešpaties Dvasia pagavo Pilypą. Eunuchas daugiau jo nebematė, tik džiūgaudamas traukė savo keliu. ⁴⁰ O Pilypas atsidūrė Azote; iš ten keliaudamas skelbė Evangeliją visuose miestuose ir taip atvyko į Cezarėją.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Saul zezwolił na zabicie jego. I wszczęło się onegoż czasu wielkie prześladowanie przeciwko zborowi, który był w Jeruzalemie, i rozproszyli się wszyscy po krainach ziemi Judzkiej i Samaryi, oprócz Apostołów. ² I pogrzebli Szczepana mężowie bogobojni i uczynili nad nim płacz wielki. ³ A Saul niszczył zbór, wchodząc w domy, a wywłóczając męże i niewiasty, podawał je do więzienia. ⁴ A ci, którzy byli rozproszeni, chodzili opowiadając słowo Boże. ⁵ Lecz Filip zaszedłszy do miasta Samaryjskiego, opowiadał im Chrystusa. ⁶ A lud miał wzgląd jednomyślnie na to, co Filip mówił, słuchając i widząc cuda, które czynił. ⁷ Albowiem duchy nieczyste od wielu tych, którzy je mieli, wołając głosem wielkim wychodziły, a wiele powietrzem ruszonych i chromych uzdrowieni są. ⁸ I stała się radość wielka w onem mieście. ⁹ A niektóry mąż, imieniem Szymon, był przedtem w onem mieście bawiący się nauką czarnoksięską i lud Samaryjski mamił, powiadając się być czymś wielkim. ¹⁰ Na którego się oglądali wszyscy od najmniejszego aż do największego, mówiąc: Tenci jest ona moc Boża wielka. ¹¹ A oglądali się nań przeto, iż je od niemałego czasu mamił czarnoksięstwy swemi. ¹² A gdy uwierzyli Filipowi, opowiadającemu królestwo Boże i imię Jezusa Chrystusa, chrzcili się mężowie i niewiasty. ¹³ Tedy i sam Szymon uwierzył, a ochrzciwszy się, trzymał się Filipa, a widząc cuda i mocy wielkie, które się działy, zdumiewał się. ¹⁴ A usłyszawszy Apostołowie, którzy byli w Jeruzalemie, iż Samaryja przyjęła słowo Boże, posłali do nich Piotra i Jana. ¹⁵ Którzy tam przyszedłszy, modlili się za nimi, aby przyjęli Ducha Świętego. ¹⁶ (Albowiem jeszcze był na żadnego z nich nie zstąpił; ale tylko pochrzczeni byli w imię Pana Jezusowe.) ¹⁷ Tedy na nie wkładali ręce, a oni przyjmowali Ducha Świętego. ¹⁸ A ujrzawszy Szymon, że przez wkładanie rąk apostolskich był dawany Duch Święty, przyniósł im pieniądze. ¹⁹ Mówiąc: Dajcie i mnie tę moc, aby ten, na któregokolwiek bym ręce włożył, wziął Ducha Świętego. ²⁰ I rzekł mu Piotr: Pieniądze twoje niech z tobą będą na zginienie, żeś mniemał, żeby dar Boży miał być za pieniądze nabywany. ²¹ Nie masz w tej rzeczy cząstki, ani losu, gdy serce twoje nie jest proste przed obliczem Bożem. ²² Przetoż pokutuj z tej twojej złości, a proś Boga; ować snać będzie odpuszczony ten zamysł serca twego. ²³ Albowiem cię widzę być w gorzkości żółci i w związce nieprawości. ²⁴ Odpowiedziawszy tedy Szymon, rzekł: Módlcie się wy za mną Panu, aby na mię nic nie przyszło z tych rzeczy, któreście powiedzieli. ²⁵ A tak oni oświadczywszy i opowiedziawszy słowo Pańskie, wrócili się do Jeruzalemu i w wielu miasteczkach Samarytańskich Ewangieliję opowiadali. ²⁶ Lecz Anioł Pański rzekł do Filipa, mówiąc: Wstań, a idź ku południowi na drogę, która od Jeruzalemu idzie ku Gazie, która jest pusta. ²⁷ A on wstawszy, szedł. A oto mąż Murzyn rzezaniec, komornik królowej murzyńskiej Kandaces, który był nad wszystkiemi skarbami jej, a przyjechał był do Jeruzalemu, aby się modlił; ²⁸ I wracał się, siedząc na wozie swoim, a czytał Izajasza proroka. ²⁹ I rzekł Duch Filipowi: Przystąp, a przyłącz się do tego wozu. ³⁰ A przybieżawszy Filip, usłyszał go czytającego Izajasza proroka i rzekł: Rozumieszże, co czytasz? ³¹ A on rzekł: Jakoż mogę rozumieć, jeźliby mi kto nie wyłożył? I prosił Filipa, a wstąpił i siedział z nim. ³² A miejsce onego Pisma, które czytał, to było: Jako owca ku zabiciu wiedziony jest, a jako baranek niemy przed tym, który go strzyże, tak nie otworzył ust swoich; ³³ W uniżeniu jego sąd jego zniesiony jest, a rodzaj jego któż wypowie? albowiem zniesiony był z ziemi żywot jego. ³⁴ A odpowiadając rzezaniec Filipowi, rzekł: Proszę cię, o kim to prorok mówi? Sam o sobie, czyli o kim innym? ³⁵ Tedy otworzywszy Filip usta swe, a począwszy od tego Pisma, opowiadał mu Jezusa. ³⁶ A gdy jechali drogą, przyjechali nad jednę wodę. Tedy rzekł rzezaniec: Otóż woda! Cóż na przeszkodzie, abym nie miał być ochrzczony? ³⁷ I rzekł Filip: Jeźliż wierzysz z całego serca, wolnoć. A on odpowiedziawszy, rzekł: Wierzę, iż Jezus Chrystus jest Syn Boży. ³⁸ I kazał stanąć wozowi; i zstąpili obadwaj w wodę, Filip i rzezaniec, i ochrzcił go. ³⁹ A gdy wystąpili z wody, porwał Filipa Duch Pański i nie widział go więcej rzezaniec, ale jechał drogą swoją, radując się. ⁴⁰ A Filip aż w Azocie jest znaleziony, a chodząc kazał Ewangieliję po wszystkich miastach, aż przyszedł do Cezaryi.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Naquele dia levantou-se grande perseguição contra a igreja que estava em Jerusalém; e todos excepto os apóstolos, foram dispersos pelas regiões da Judeia e da Samaria. ² E uns homens piedosos sepultaram a Estêvão, e fizeram grande pranto sobre ele. ³ Saulo porém, assolava a igreja, entrando pelas casas e, arrastando homens e mulheres, os entregava à prisão. ⁴ No entanto os que foram dispersos iam por toda parte, anunciando a palavra. ⁵ E descendo Filipe à cidade de Samaria, pregava-lhes a Cristo. ⁶ As multidões escutavam, unânimes, as coisas que Filipe dizia, ouvindo-o e vendo os sinais que operava; ⁷ pois saíam de muitos possessos os espíritos imundos, clamando em alta voz; e muitos paralíticos e coxos foram curados; ⁸ pelo que houve grande alegria naquela cidade. ⁹ Ora, estava ali certo homem chamado Simão, que vinha exercendo naquela cidade a arte mágica, fazendo pasmar o povo da Samaria, e dizendo ser ele uma grande personagem; ¹⁰ ao qual todos atendiam, desde o menor até o maior, dizendo: Este é o Poder de Deus que se chama Grande. ¹¹ Eles o atendiam porque já desde muito tempo os vinha fazendo pasmar com suas artes mágicas. ¹² Mas, quando creram em Filipe, que lhes pregava acerca do reino de Deus e do nome de Jesus, baptizavam-se homens e mulheres. ¹³ E creu até o próprio Simão e, sendo baptizado, ficou de contínuo com Filipe; e admirava-se, vendo os sinais e os grandes milagres que se faziam. ¹⁴ Os apóstolos, pois, que estavam em Jerusalém, tendo ouvido que os da Samaria haviam recebido a palavra de Deus, enviaram-lhes Pedro e João; ¹⁵ os quais, tendo descido, oraram por eles, para que recebessem o Espírito Santo. ¹⁶ Porque sobre nenhum deles havia ele descido ainda; mas somente tinham sido baptizados em nome do Senhor Jesus. ¹⁷ Então lhes impuseram as mãos, e eles receberam o Espírito Santo. ¹⁸ Quando Simão viu que pela imposição das mãos dos apóstolos se dava o Espírito Santo, ofereceu-lhes dinheiro, ¹⁹ dizendo: Dai-me também a mim esse poder, para que aquele sobre quem eu impuser as mãos, receba o Espírito Santo. ²⁰ Mas disse-lhe Pedro: Vá tua prata contigo à perdição, pois cuidaste adquirir com dinheiro o dom de Deus. ²¹ Tu não tens parte nem sorte neste ministério, porque o teu coração não é recto diante de Deus. ²² Arrepende-te, pois, dessa tua maldade, e roga ao Senhor para que porventura te seja perdoado o pensamento do teu coração; ²³ pois vejo que estás em fel de amargura, e em laços de iniquidade. ²⁴ Respondendo, porém, Simão, disse: Rogai vós por mim ao Senhor, para que nada do que haveis dito venha sobre mim. ²⁵ Eles, pois, havendo testificado e falado a palavra do Senhor, voltando para Jerusalém, evangelizavam muitas aldeias dos samaritanos. ²⁶ Mas um anjo do Senhor falou a Filipe, dizendo: Levanta-te, e vai em direcção do sul pelo caminho que desce de Jerusalém a Gaza, o qual está deserto. ²⁷ E levantou-se e foi; e eis que um etíope, eunuco, mordomo-mor de Candace, rainha dos etíopes, o qual era superintendente de todos os seus tesouros e tinha ido a Jerusalém para adorar, ²⁸ regressava e, sentado no seu carro, lia o profeta Isaías. ²⁹ Disse o Espírito a Filipe: Chega-te e ajunta-te a esse carro. ³⁰ E correndo Filipe, ouviu que lia o profeta Isaías, e disse: Entendes, porventura, o que estás lendo? ³¹ Ele respondeu: Pois como poderei entender, se alguém não me ensinar? e rogou a Filipe que subisse e com ele se sentasse. ³² Ora, a passagem da Escritura que estava lendo era esta: Foi levado como a ovelha ao matadouro, e, como está mudo o cordeiro diante do que o tosquia, assim ele não abre a sua boca. ³³ Na sua humilhação foi tirado o seu julgamento; quem contará a sua geração? porque a sua vida é tirada da terra. ³⁴ Respondendo o eunuco a Filipe, disse: Rogo-te, de quem diz isto o profeta? de si mesmo, ou de algum outro? ³⁵ Então Filipe tomou a palavra e, começando por esta escritura, anunciou-lhe a Jesus. ³⁶ E indo eles caminhando, chegaram a um lugar onde havia água, e disse o eunuco: Eis aqui água; que impede que eu seja baptizado? ³⁷ E disse Felipe: é lícito, se crês de todo o coração. E, respondendo ele, disse: Creio que Jesus Cristo é o Filho de Deus. ³⁸ mandou parar o carro, e desceram ambos à água, tanto Filipe como o eunuco, e Filipe o baptizou. ³⁹ Quando saíram da água, o Espírito do Senhor arrebatou a Filipe, e não o viu mais o eunuco, que jubiloso seguia o seu caminho. ⁴⁰ Mas Filipe achou-se em Azoto e, indo passando, evangelizava todas as cidades, até que chegou a Cesareia.

Men på den dag blev det en stor forfølgelse mot menigheten i Jerusalem, og de blev alle adspredt over Judeas og Samarias land, undtagen apostlene. ² Men nogen gudfryktige menn begravde Stefanus og holdt en stor veklage over ham. ³ Men Saulus herjet menigheten, og gikk inn i hus efter hus og drog ut både menn og kvinner og lot dem kaste i fengsel. ⁴ De som nu var adspredt, drog omkring og forkynte evangeliets ord. ⁵ Filip kom da ned til en by i Samaria og forkynte Kristus for dem. ⁶ Og folket gav samdrektig akt på det som blev sagt av Filip, idet de hørte og så de tegn som han gjorde. ⁷ For det var mange som hadde urene ånder, og de fór ut av dem med høie skrik, og mange verkbrudne og vanføre blev helbredet. ⁸ Og det blev stor glede der i byen. ⁹ Men der var en mann ved navn Simon, som før hadde gitt sig av med trolldom i byen og satt folket i Samaria i den største forundring, for han sa sig selv å være stor; ¹⁰ ham gav de akt på, både små og store, de sa: Han er Guds kraft som kalles den store. ¹¹ Men de gav akt på ham fordi han i lang tid hadde satt dem i forundring ved sine trolldomskunster. ¹² Men da de nu trodde Filip, som forkynte dem evangeliet om Guds rike og Jesu Kristi navn, så lot de sig døpe, både menn og kvinner. ¹³ Og Simon tok ved troen han også, og da han var blitt døpt, holdt han sig nær til Filip, og da han så de kraftige gjerninger og tegn som blev gjort, blev han ute av sig selv av forundring. ¹⁴ Da nu apostlene i Jerusalem fikk høre at Samaria hadde tatt imot Guds ord, sendte de Peter og Johannes til dem; ¹⁵ disse kom ned og bad for dem, forat de skulde få den Hellige Ånd; ¹⁶ for Ånden var ennu ikke falt på nogen av dem, de var bare døpt til den Herre Jesu navn. ¹⁷ De la da sine hender på dem, og de fikk den Hellige Ånd. ¹⁸ Men da Simon så at Ånden blev gitt ved apostlenes håndspåleggelse, kom han til dem med penger og sa: ¹⁹ Gi også mig denne makt at den som jeg legger mine hender på, må få den Hellige Ånd! ²⁰ Men Peter sa til ham: Ditt sølv være forbannet, både det og du selv, fordi du tenkte å kjøpe Guds gave for penger! ²¹ Du har ikke del eller lodd i dette ord; for ditt hjerte er ikke rett for Gud. ²² Omvend dig derfor fra denne din ondskap, og bed Herren om måskje ditt hjertes tanke måtte forlates dig! ²³ For jeg ser at du ligger i bitterhets galle og urettferdighets bånd. ²⁴ Da svarte Simon: Bed I for mig til Herren, forat ikke noget av det I har sagt, skal komme over mig! ²⁵ Efterat de nu hadde vidnet og talt Herrens ord, vendte de tilbake til Jerusalem, og de forkynte evangeliet i mange av samaritanenes byer. ²⁶ Men en Herrens engel talte til Filip og sa: Stå op og gå mot syd, på den vei som går ned fra Jerusalem til Gasa! Denne vei er øde. ²⁷ Han stod da op og gikk dit; og se, der var en etioper, en hoffmann, en høi embedsmann hos Kandake, etiopernes dronning, en som var satt over hele hennes skatt; han var kommet til Jerusalem for å tilbede, ²⁸ og han var nu på hjemveien, og satt på sin vogn og leste profeten Esaias. ²⁹ Og Ånden sa til Filip: Gå bort til denne vogn og hold dig nær ved den! ³⁰ Filip løp da til, og hørte at han leste profeten Esaias, og sa: Skjønner du det du leser? ³¹ Han svarte: Hvorledes skulde jeg vel kunne det uten at nogen veileder mig? Og han bad Filip stige op og sette sig hos ham. ³² Men det stykke av Skriften som han leste, var dette: Som et får blev han ført bort for å slaktes, og lik et lam som er stumt for den som klipper det, således åpner han ikke sin munn; ³³ i hans fornedrelse blev dommen over ham borttatt, og hvem kan fortelle om hans ætt? for hans liv blir tatt bort fra jorden. ³⁴ Hoffmannen tok da til orde og sa til Filip: Jeg ber dig: om hvem sier profeten dette? om sig selv eller om nogen annen? ³⁵ Da oplot Filip sin munn, og idet han gikk ut fra dette skriftsted, forkynte han ham evangeliet om Jesus. ³⁶ Og som de drog frem på veien, kom de til et sted hvor det var vann, og hoffmannen sa: Se, her er vann; hvad er til hinder for at jeg blir døpt? ³⁷ Og Filip sa: Tror du av hele ditt hjerte, så kan det skje. Men han svarte og sa: Jeg tror at Jesus Kristus er Guds Sønn. ³⁸ Og han bød vognen holde, og de steg ned i vannet, både Filip og hoffmannen, og han døpte ham. ³⁹ Men da de steg op av vannet, rykte Herrens Ånd Filip bort, og hoffmannen så ham ikke lenger; for han drog sin vei med glede. ⁴⁰ Men Filip blev funnet i Asdod, og han drog omkring og forkynte evangeliet i alle byene, inntil han kom til Cesarea.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saul se învoise la uciderea lui Ştefan. În ziua aceea, s'a pornit o mare prigonire împotriva Bisericii din Ierusalim. Şi toţi, afară de apostoli, s'au împrăştiat prin părţile Iudeii şi ale Samariei. ² Nişte oameni temători de Dumnezeu au îngropat pe Ştefan, şi l-au jălit cu mare tînguire. ³ Saul de partea lui, făcea prăpăd în Biserică; intra prin case, lua cu sila pe bărbaţi şi pe femei, şi -i arunca în temniţă. ⁴ Ceice se împrăştiaseră, mergeau din loc în loc, şi propovăduiau Cuvîntul. ⁵ Filip s'a coborît în cetatea Samariei, şi le -a propovăduit pe Hristos. ⁶ Noroadele luau aminte cu un gînd la cele spuse de Filip, cînd au auzit şi au văzut semnele, pe cari le făcea. ⁷ Căci din mulţi îndrăciţi ieşeau duhuri necurate, şi scoteau mari ţipete; mulţi slăbănogi şi şchiopi erau tămăduiţi. ⁸ Şi a fost o mare bucurie în cetatea aceasta. ⁹ În cetate era un om, numit Simon, care zicea că este un om însemnat; el vrăjea şi punea în uimire pe poporul Samariei. ¹⁰ Toţi, dela mic pînă la mare, îl ascultau cu luare aminte, şi ziceau:,,Acesta este puterea lui Dumnezeu, cea care se numeşte,mare`. ¹¹ Îl ascultau cu luare aminte, pentrucă multă vreme îi uimise cu vrăjitoriile lui. ¹² Dar cînd au crezut pe Filip, care propovăduia Evanghelia Împărăţiei lui Dumnezeu şi a Numelui lui Isus Hristos, au fost botezaţi, atît bărbaţi cît şi femei. ¹³ Chiar Simon a crezut; şi dupăce a fost botezat, nu se mai despărţea de Filip, şi privea cu uimire minunile şi semnele mari cari se făceau. ¹⁴ Apostolii, cari erau în Ierusalim, cînd au auzit că Samaria a primit Cuvîntul lui Dumnezeu, au trimes la ei pe Petru şi pe Ioan. ¹⁵ Aceştia au venit la Samariteni, şi s'au rugat pentru ei, ca să primească Duhul Sfînt. ¹⁶ Căci nu Se pogorîse încă peste niciunul din ei, ci fuseseră numai botezaţi în Numele Domnului Isus. ¹⁷ Atunci Petru şi Ioan au pus mînile peste ei, şi aceia au primit Duhul Sfînt. ¹⁸ Cînd a văzut Simon că Duhul Sfînt era dat prin punerea mînilor apostolilor, le -a dat bani, ¹⁹ şi a zis:,,Daţi-mi şi mie puterea aceasta, pentruca peste oricine-mi voi pune mînile, să primească Duhul Sfînt.`` ²⁰ Dar Petru i -a zis:,,Banii tăi să piară împreună cu tine, pentrucă ai crezut că darul lui Dumnezeu s'ar putea căpăta cu bani! ²¹ Tu n'ai nici parte, nici sorţ în toată treaba aceasta, căci inima ta nu este curată înaintea lui Dumnezeu. ²² Pocăieşte-te dar de această răutate a ta, şi roagă-te Domnului să ţi se ierte gîndul acesta al inimii tale, dacă este cu putinţă; ²³ căci văd că eşti plin de fiere amară, şi în lanţurile fărădelegii.`` ²⁴ Simon a răspuns:,,Rugaţi-vă voi Domnului pentru mine, ca să nu mi se întîmple nimic din ce aţi zis.`` ²⁵ După ce au mărturisit despre Cuvîntul Domnului, şi după ce l-au propovăduit, Petru şi Ioan s'au întors la Ierusalim, vestind Evanghelia în multe sate de ale Samaritenilor. ²⁶ Un înger al Domnului a vorbit lui Filip, şi i -a zis:,,Scoală-te, şi du-te spre miazăzi, pe drumul care pogoară spre Ierusalim la Gaza, şi care este pustiu.`` ²⁷ Filip s'a sculat şi a plecat. Şi iată că un Etiopian, un famen cu mare putere la împărăteasa Candace a Etiopienilor, şi îngrijitorul tuturor vistieriilor ei, venit la Ierusalim ca să se închine, ²⁸ se întorcea de acolo, şi şedea în carul lui, şi citea pe proorocul Isaia. ²⁹ Duhul a zis lui Filip:,,Du-te, şi ajunge carul acesta!`` ³⁰ Filip a alergat, şi a auzit pe Etiopian citind pe proorocul Isaia. El i -a zis:,,Înţelegi tu ce citeşti?`` ³¹ Famenul a răspuns:,,Cum aş putea să înţeleg, dacă nu mă va călăuzi cineva?`` Şi a rugat pe Filip să se suie în car, şi să şadă împreună cu el. ³² Locul din Scriptură, pe care -l citea, era acesta:,,El a fost dus ca o oaie la tăiere; şi, ca un miel fără glas înaintea celui ce -l tunde, aşa nu Şi -a deschis gura; ³³ în smerenia Lui, judecata I -a fost luată. Şi cine va zugrăvi pe cei din timpul Lui? Căci viaţa I -a fost luată de pe pămînt.`` ³⁴ Famenul a zis lui Filip:,,Rogu-te, despre cine vorbeşte proorocul astfel? Despre sine sau despre vreun altul?`` ³⁵ Atunci Filip a luat cuvîntul, a început dela Scriptura aceasta, şi i -a propovăduit pe Isus. ³⁶ Pe cînd îşi urmau ei drumul, au dat peste o apă. Şi famenul a zis:,,Uite apă; ce mă împiedică să fiu botezat?`` ³⁷ Filip a zis:,,Dacă crezi din toată inima, se poate.`` Famenul a răspuns:,,Cred că Isus Hristos este Fiul lui Dumnezeu.`` ³⁸ A poruncit să stea carul, s'au pogorît amîndoi în apă, şi Filip a botezat pe famen. ³⁹ Cînd au ieşit afară din apă, Duhul Domnului a răpit pe Filip, şi famenul nu l -a mai văzut. În timp ce famenul îşi vedea de drum, plin de bucurie, ⁴⁰ Filip se afla la Azot, de unde s'a dus pînă la Cezarea. Şi propovăduia Evanghelia în toate cetăţile prin care trecea.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ А Савл похваляв його вбивство. І утиск великий постав того дня проти єрусалимської Церкви, і всі, крім апостолів, розпорошилися по краях юдейських та самарійських. ² І поховали Степана мужі побожні, і плакали ревно за ним. ³ А Савл нищив Церкву, вдирався в доми, витягав чоловіків і жінок та давав до в'язниці... ⁴ Ходили тоді розпорошенці, та Боже Слово благовістили. ⁵ Ось Пилип прийшов до самарійського міста, і проповідував їм про Христа. ⁶ А люди вважали на те, що Пилип говорив, і згідно слухали й бачили чуда, які він чинив. ⁷ Із багатьох бо, що мали їх, духи нечисті виходили з криком великим, і багато розслаблених та кривих уздоровилися. ⁸ І радість велика в тім місті була! ⁹ Був один чоловік, на ім'я йому Симон, що до того в цім місті займавсь ворожбитством та дурив самарійський народ, видаючи себе за якогось великого. ¹⁰ Його слухали всі, від найменшого аж до найбільшого, кажучи: Він сила Божа, що зветься велика! ¹¹ Його ж слухалися, бо він їх довший час дивував ворожбитством. ¹² Та коли йняли віри Пилипові, що благовістив про Боже Царство й Ім'я Ісуса Христа, чоловіки й жінки охристилися. ¹³ Увірував навіть сам Симон, і, охристившись, тримався Пилипа; а бачивши чуда й знамена великі, він дуже дивувався. ¹⁴ Як зачули ж апостоли, які в Єрусалимі були, що Боже Слово прийняла Самарія, то послали до них Петра та Івана. ¹⁵ А вони, як прийшли, помолились за них, щоб Духа Святого вони прийняли, ¹⁶ бо ще ні на одного з них Він не сходив, а були вони тільки охрищені в Ім'я Господа Ісуса. ¹⁷ Тоді на них руки поклали, і прийняли вони Духа Святого! ¹⁸ Як побачив же Симон, що через накладання апостольських рук Святий Дух подається, то приніс він їм гроші, ¹⁹ і сказав: Дайте й мені таку владу, щоб той, на кого покладу свої руки, одержав би Духа Святого! ²⁰ Та промовив до нього Петро: Нехай згине з тобою те срібло твоє, бо ти думав набути дар Божий за гроші! ²¹ У цім ділі нема тобі частки ні уділу, бо серце твоє перед Богом не слушне. ²² Тож покайся за це лихе діло своє, і проси Господа, може прощений буде тобі замір серця твого! ²³ Бо я бачу, що ти пробуваєш у жовчі гіркій та в путах неправди. ²⁴ А Симон озвався й сказав: Помоліться за мене до Господа, щоб мене не спіткало нічого з того, про що ви говорили... ²⁵ А вони ж, засвідчивши, і Слово Господнє звістивши, повернулись до Єрусалиму, і звіщали Євангелію в багатьох самарійських оселях. ²⁶ А Ангол Господній промовив Пилипові, кажучи: Устань та на південь іди, на дорогу, що від Єрусалиму до Гази спускається, порожня вона. ²⁷ І, вставши, пішов він. І ось муж етіопський, скопець, вельможа Кандаки, цариці етіопської, що був над усіма її скарбами, що до Єрусалиму прибув поклонитись, ²⁸ вертався, і, сидючи на повозі своїм, читав пророка Ісаю. ²⁹ А Дух до Пилипа промовив: Підійди, та й пристань до цього повозу. ³⁰ Пилип же підбіг і почув, що той читає пророка Ісаю, та й спитав: Чи розумієш, що ти читаєш? ³¹ А той відказав: Як же можу, як ніхто не напутить мене? І впросив він Пилипа піднятись та сісти з ним. ³² А слово Писання, що його він читав, було це: Як вівцю на заріз Його ведено, і як ягня супроти стрижія безголосе, так Він не відкрив Своїх уст! ³³ У приниженні суд Йому віднятий був, а про рід Його хто розповість? Бо життя Його із землі забирається... ³⁴ Відізвався ж скопець до Пилипа й сказав: Благаю тебе, це про кого говорить пророк? Чи про себе, чи про іншого кого? ³⁵ А Пилип відкрив уста свої, і, зачавши від цього Писання, благовістив про Ісуса йому. ³⁶ І, як шляхом вони їхали, прибули до якоїсь води. І озвався скопець: Ось вода. Що мені заважає христитись? ³⁷ А Пилип відказав: Якщо віруєш із повного серця свого, то можна. А той відповів і сказав: Я вірую, що Ісус Христос то Син Божий! ³⁸ І звелів, щоб повіз спинився. І обидва Пилип та скопець увійшли до води, і охристив він його. ³⁹ А коли вони вийшли з води, Дух Господній Пилипа забрав, і скопець уже більше не бачив його. І він їхав, радіючи, шляхом своїм. ⁴⁰ А Пилип опинився в Азоті, і, переходячи, звіщав Євангелію всім містам, аж поки прийшов у Кесарію.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Савло ж похваляв убийство його. Стало ся ж того дня велике гоненнє на церкву Єрусалимську і всї порозсипались по землях Юдейських та Самарийських, окрім апостолів. ² Поховали ж Стефана побожні люде, і счинили великий плач по нему ³ Савло ж руйнував церкву, входячи в доми та хапаючи і виволікаючи чоловіків і жінок, і передавав у темницю, ⁴ Которі ж порозсипались, ходили, благовіствуючи слово. ⁵ І так, Филип, прийшовши в город Самарийський, проповідував їм Христа. ⁶ І вважав народ на слова Филипові однодушне, слухавши і бачивши ознаки, що він робив. ⁷ З многих бо, що мали духів нечистих, виходили вони, ревучи великим голосом; і многі розслаблені і криві сцїлялись. ⁸ І стались радощі великі в городі тому. ⁹ Один же чоловік, на ймя Симон, пробував перше у городі, і чарував та дивував народ Самарийський, кажучи, що він хтось великий. ¹⁰ На него вважали всі від малого до старого, кажучи: Сей єсть велика сила Божа. ¹¹ Вважали ж на него через те, що доволї часу чарами дивував їх. ¹² Як же увірували Филипу, що благовіствував про царство Боже й імя Ісуса Христа, то хрестились і чоловіки й жінки. ¹³ Увірував же і сам Симон, і, охрестившись, пробував у Филипа; а, видївши ознаки й чудеса великі, дивував ся. ¹⁴ Почувши ж апостоли в Єрусалимі, що прийняла Самария слово Боже, послали до них Петра та Йоана, ¹⁵ котрі прийшовши, молили ся про них, щоб прийняли Духа сьвятого. ¹⁶ (Ще бо ні на кого з них не зійшов, а тільки охрещені були в імя Господа Ісуса.) ¹⁷ Тоді клали руки на них, і прийняли вони сьвятого Духа. ¹⁸ Видівши ж Симон, що положеннєм рук апостолських даєть ся Дух сьвятий, принїс їм грошей, ¹⁹ говорячи: Дайте й менї власть таку, щоб, на кого я положу руки, прийняв Духа сьвятого. ²⁰ Петр же рече до него: Нехай срібло твоє з тобою буде на погибель, бо дар Божий думав єси за гроші здобути. ²¹ Нема для тебе частини, анї долї в речі сїй, серце бо твоє не праве перед Богом. ²² Покай ся ж у ледарстві сьому твоїм, та благай Бога: може відпустить ся тобі думка серця твого. ²³ Бо в жовчі гіркости і в увязї неправди виджу тебе. ²⁴ Озвав ся ж Симон та й каже: Молїть ся ви за мене Господу, щоб нїщо не найшло на мене, що ви сказали. ²⁵ Ті ж, що сьвідвували, глаголавши слово Господнє, вернулись у Єрусалим, і в многих селах Самарийських благовіствували. ²⁶ Ангел же Господень промовив Филипові, глаголючи: Устань, та йди на полуднє дорогою, що йде 8 Єрусалиму в Газу; вона пуста. ²⁷ І вставши дійшов; і ось чоловік із Єтіопиї, євнух, вельможа Кандакиї, царицї Єтіопської, що був над усїм скарбом її; він приходив поклонитись у Єрусалим; ²⁸ і вертав ся, а сидячи на возї своїм, читав пророка Ісаїю. ²⁹ Рече ж Дух Филипові: Приступи та пристань до воза сього. ³⁰ Приступивши ж Филип, почув його, як читав пророка Ісаїю, і рече: Чи розумієш, що читаєш? ³¹ Вія же каже: Як бо можу, коли ніхто не наведе мене? І просив Филипа, щоб, вилізши, сїв в ним. ³² Місце ж писання, що читав, було се: Як овечку на зарізь ведено Його; й як ягня перед тим, хто стриже його, безголосе, так не відкривав уст своїх. ³³ У приниженню Його суд Його взято; рід же Його хто з'ясує? бо береть ся з землї життв Його. ³⁴ Озвав ся ж євнух, і каже до Филипа: прошу тебе, про кого пророк глаголе се? про себе, чи про иншого кого? ³⁵ Відкривши ж Филип уста свої, і почавши від писання сього, благовіствував йому Ісуса. ³⁶ Верстаючи ж дорогу, прибули до води; й каже євнух: Ось вода; що боронить менї охреститись? ³⁷ Рече ж Филип: Коли віруєш усїм серцем, то можна. Озвавши ся ж, каже: Вірую, що Син Божий Ісус Христос. ³⁸ І звелїв з'упинити воза; й увійшли обидва в воду, Филип і євнух; і охрестив його. ³⁹ Як же вийшли з води. Дух Господень ухопив Филипа, і не бачив його більш євнух; і пійшов дорогою своєю, радуючись. ⁴⁰ Филип же опинивсь ув Азотї, і проходячи проповідував по всїх городах, аж доки прийшов у Кесарию.
