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.
