Acts 8:4-8

Philip Proclaims Christ in Samaria

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.
