Chapter 8

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 this 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.

Chapter 8

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.

¹ was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
² men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.
³ Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.
⁴ those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
⁵ went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.
⁶ multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
⁷ 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 was great joy in that city.
⁹ 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 whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that great power of God."
¹¹ listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
¹² when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
¹³ himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
¹⁴ when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
¹⁵ when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
¹⁶ as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
¹⁷ they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
¹⁸ when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
¹⁹ "Give me also this power, that whoever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."
²⁰ Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
²¹ have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn't right before God.
²² therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
²³ I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."
²⁴ answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me."
²⁵ 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 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."

²⁹ Spirit said to Philip, "Go near, and join yourself to this chariot."
³⁰ ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
³¹ said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
³² the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn't open his mouth.
³³ his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth."
³⁴ eunuch answered Philip, "Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?"
³⁵ opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
³⁶ they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?"
^37
38 commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
³⁹ they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn't see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
⁴⁰ Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

Chapter 8

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?
^37
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.

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,

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? And he besought Philip to come up and 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 before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

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 [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.

Chapter 8

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 []
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.
