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. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And there was great joy in that city. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> 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: <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles&#8217; hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> 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, <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> 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: <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> 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? <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 And Saul was consenting unto his death.
