Acts - Chapter: 8


8:1	And Saul was consenting unto 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.
8:2	And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
8:3	As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
8:4	Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
8:5	Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
8:6	And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
8:7	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.
8:8	And there was great joy in that city.
8:9	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:
8:10	To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
8:11	And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
8:12	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.
8:13	Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
8:14	Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
8:15	Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
8:16	(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
8:17	Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
8:18	And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
8:19	Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
8:20	But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
8:21	Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
8:22	Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
8:23	For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
8:24	Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
8:25	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.
8:26	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.
8:27	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,
8:28	Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
8:29	Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
8:30	And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
8:31	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.
8:32	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:
8:33	In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
8:34	And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
8:35	Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
8:36	And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
8:37	And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
8:38	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.
8:39	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.
8:40	But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.


8:1	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.
8:2	Then certaine men fearing God, caried Steuen amongs them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him.
8:3	But Saul made hauocke of the Church, and entred into euery house, and drewe out both men and women, and put them into prison.
8:4	Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and from preaching the worde.
8:5	Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
8:6	And the people gaue heed vnto those things which Philippe spake, with one accorde, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
8:7	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.
8:8	And there was great ioy in that citie.
8:9	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.
8:10	To whome they gaue heede from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God.
8:11	And they gaue heed vnto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
8:12	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.
8:13	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.
8:14	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.
8:15	Which whe they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receiue the holy Ghost.
8:16	(For as yet, hee was fallen downe on none of them, but they were baptized onely in the Name of the Lord Iesus.)
8:17	Then layd they their handes on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost.
8:18	And when Simon sawe, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the holy Ghost was giuen, he offred them money,
8:19	Saying, Giue mee also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay the handes, he may receiue the holy Ghost.
8:20	Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with money.
8:21	Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this businesse: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God.
8:22	Repent therefore of this thy wickednes, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee.
8:23	For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes, and in the bonde of iniquitie.
8:24	Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me.
8:25	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.
8:26	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.
8:27	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:
8:28	And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet.
8:29	Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
8:30	And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
8:31	And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come vp and sit with him.
8:32	Nowe the place of the Scripture which he read, was this, Hee was lead as a sheepe to the slaughter: and like a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.
8:33	In his humilitie his iudgement hath bene exalted: but who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
8:34	Then the Eunuche answered Philippe, and saide, I pray thee of whome speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man?
8:35	Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus.
8:36	And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water, and the Eunuche said, See, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptized?
8:37	And Philippe said vnto him, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and saide, I beleeue that that Iesus Christ is that Sonne of God.
8:38	Then he commanded the charet to stand stil: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuche, and he baptized him.
8:39	And assoone as they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe him no more: so he went on his way reioycing.
8:40	But Philippe was found at Azotus, and he walked to and from preaching in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.


8:1	Saul had pleasure in his deeth. And at yt tyme there was a great persecucion agaynst the congregacion which was at Ierusalem and they were all scattered abroade thorowout the regions of Iury and Samaria except the Apostles
8:2	Then devout men dressed Steven aud made great lamentacion over him.
8:3	But Saul made havocke of the congregacion entrynge into every housse and drewe out bothe man and woman and thrust the into preson.
8:4	They that were scattered abroade went every where preachyng the worde.
8:5	Then came Philip into a cite of Samaria and preached Christ vnto them.
8:6	And the people gave hede vnto those thinges which Philip spake with one acorde in that they hearde and sawe the miracles which he dyd.
8:7	For vnclene spretes cryinge with loude voyce came out of many that were possessed of them. And manye taken with palsies and many yt halted were healed
8:8	And ther was great ioye in that cite.
8:9	And ther was a certayne man called Simon which before tyme in the same cite vsed witche crafte and bewitched the people of Samarie sayinge that he was a man yt coulde do greate thinges
8:10	Whom they regarded from ye lest to the greatest sayinge: this felow is the great power of God.
8:11	And him they set moche by because of longe tyme with sorcery he had mocked the.
8:12	But assone as they beleved Philippes preachynge of the kyngdome of God and of the name of Iesu Christ they were baptised bothe men and wemen.
8:13	Then Simon him selfe beleved also and was baptised and cotinued with Phillip and wondered beholdynge the miracles and signes which were shewed.
8:14	When ye Apostles which were at Ierusalem hearde saye that Samaria had receaved ye worde of God: they sent vnto the Peter and Iohn
8:15	which when they were come prayed for the that they myght receave ye holy goost
8:16	For as yet he was come on none of them: But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Iesu.
8:17	Then layde they their hondes on them and they receaved the holy goost.
8:18	When Simo sawe that thorowe layinge on of the Apostles hondes on them the holy goost was geven: he offered the money
8:19	sayinge: Geve me also this power that on whom soever I put the hondes he maye receave the holy goost.
8:20	Then sayde Peter vnto him: thy monye perysh with the because thou wenest that the gifte of God maye be obteyned wt money.
8:21	Thou hast nether parte nor felloushippe in this busines. For thy hert is not ryght in the syght of God.
8:22	Repent therfore of this thy wickednes and praye God that ye thought of thyne hert maye be forgeven the.
8:23	For I perceave that thou arte full of bitter gall and wrapped in iniquite.
8:24	Then answered Simon and sayde: Praye ye to the lorde for me yt none of these thinges whiche ye have spoken fall on me.
8:25	And they whe they had testified and preached the worde of the lorde returned toward Ierusalem and preached the gospell in many cities of the Samaritas.
8:26	Then the angell of the lorde spake vnto Phillip sayinge: aryse and goo towardes mydde daye vnto ye waye yt goeth doune fro Ierusalem vnto Gaza which is in ye desert.
8:27	And he arose and wet on. And beholde a man of Ethiopia which was a chaberlayne and of grete auctorite wt Cadace quene of ye Ethiopias and had ye rule of all her treasure came to Ierusalem for to praye.
8:28	And as he returned home agayne sittynge in his charet he rede Esay ye prophet
8:29	Then ye sprete sayde vnto Phillip: Goo neare and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
8:30	And Philip ranne to him and hearde him rede ye prophet Esayas and sayde: Vnderstondest thou what thou redest?
8:31	And he sayd: how can I except I had a gyde? And he desyred Philip that he wold come vp and sit wt him.
8:32	The tenoure of ye scripture which he redde was this. He was ledde as a shepe to be slayne: and lyke a lambe dome before his sherer so opened he not his mouth.
8:33	Because of his humblenes he was not estemed: who shall declare his generacio? for his lyfe is taken fro the erthe.
8:34	The chamberlayne answered Philip and sayde: I praye the of whom speaketh the Prophet this? of him selfe or of some other man?
8:35	And Philip opened his mouth and beganne at ye same scripture and preached vnto him Iesus.
8:36	And as they went on their waye they came vnto a certayne water and the chamberlayne sayde: Se here is water what shall let me to be baptised?
8:37	Philip sayde vnto him: Yf thou beleve with all thyne hert thou mayst. He answered and sayde: I beleve that Iesus Christe is the sonne of God.
8:38	And he comaunded the charet to stonde still. And they went doune bothe into the water: bothe Philip and also the chamberlayne and he baptised him.
8:39	And assone as they were come out of the water the sprete of the lorde caught awaye Philip yt the chamberlayne sawe him no moore. And he wet on his waye reioysinge:
