Acts - Chapter: 8


8:1	And Saul was consenting vnto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abroad through out the regions of Iudea, and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	And deuout men carried Steuen to his buriall, and made great lamentation ouer him.
8:3	As for Saul, he made hauocke of the Church, entring into euery house, and hailing men and women, committed them to prison.
8:4	Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went euery where preaching the word.
8:5	Then Philip went downe to the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
8:6	And the people with one accord gaue heed vnto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
8:7	For vncleane spirits, crying with lowd voyce, 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 ioy in that citie.
8:9	But there was a certaine man called Simon, which before time in the same citie vsed sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giuing out that himselfe was some great one.
8:10	To whom they all gaue 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 beleeued Philip preaching the things concerning 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 when hee was baptized, hee continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signes which were done.
8:14	Now when the Apostles which were at Hierusalem, heard that Samaria had receiued the word of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn.
8:15	Who when they were come downe, praied for them that they might receiue the holy Ghost.
8:16	(For as yet hee was fallen vpon none of them: onely they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus.)
8:17	Then layde they their hands on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost.
8:18	And when Simon saw that through laying on of the Apostles hands, the holy Ghost was giuen, hee offered them money,
8:19	Saying, Giue me also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay handes, hee may receiue the holy Ghost.
8:20	But Peter said vnto 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 wickednesse, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee.
8:23	For I perceiue that thou art in the gall of bitternesse, and in the bond of iniquitie.
8:24	Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for mee, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me.
8:25	And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Hierusalem, and preached the Gospel in many villages of the Samaritanes.
8:26	And the Angel of the Lord spake vnto Philip, saying, Arise, and goe toward the South, vnto the way that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is desert.
8:27	And hee arose, and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, an Eunuch of great authority vnder Candace queene of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Hierusalem for to worship,
8:28	Was returning, and sitting in his charet, read Esaias the Prophet.
8:29	Then the Spirit saide vnto Philip, Goe neere, and ioyne thy selfe to this charet.
8:30	And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
8:31	And hee said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip, that hee would come vp, and sit with him.
8:32	The place of the Scripture, which hee read, was this, Hee was led as a sheepe to the slaughter, & like a Lambe dumbe before the shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
8:33	In his humiliation, his Iudgement 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 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 Eunuch said, See, here is water, what doeth hinder me to be baptized?
8:37	And Philip said, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered, and said, I beleeue that Iesus Christ is the Sonne of God.
8:38	And he commanded the charet to stand still: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip, and the Eunuch, and he baptized him.
8:39	And when they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuch saw him no more: and hee went on his way reioycing.
8:40	But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing thorow he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.


8:1	And Saul consented vnto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against ye Churche which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abrode thorowout the regions of Iurie, and Samaria, except the apostles.
8:2	And deuout men were carefull together touchyng Steuen, and made great lamentation ouer hym.
8:3	As for Saul, he made hauocke of the Churche, and entred into euery house, & drewe out both men and women, and put them into pryson.
8:4	Therfore, they that were scattered abrode, went euery where preachyng the worde of God.
8:5	Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, & preached Christe vnto the.
8:6	And the people gaue heede vnto those thynges whiche Philip spake with one accorde, hearyng and seing the miracles which he dyd.
8:7	For vncleane spirites, crying with loude voyce, came out of manye that were possessed with them. And many taken with paulsies, & many that haulted, were healed.
8:8	And there was great ioy in that citie.
8:9	But there was a certayne man called Simon, which beforetyme in the same citie vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he was a man that coulde do great thynges:
8:10	Whom they regarded from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God.
8:11	And hym they sette much by, because that of long tyme he had bewitched the with sorseries.
8:12	But assoone as they gaue credence to Philips preachyng of the kyngdome of God, and of the name of Iesus Christe, they were baptized, both men & wome.
8:13	Then Simon him selfe beleued also: And whe he was baptized, he continued with Philip, & wondred, beholding the miracles & signes which were shewed.
8:14	When the apostles whiche were at Hierusalem, hearde say that Samaria hadde receaued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn.
8:15	Which when they were come downe, prayed for the that they myght receaue the holy ghost.
8:16	(For as yet he was come downe vpon none of them, but they were baptized only in the name of Christ Iesu.)
8:17	Then layde they their handes on the, and they receaued the holy ghost.
8:18	And when Simon sawe, that thorow laying on of the apostles handes, ye holy ghost was geuen, he offred the money,
8:19	Saying: Geue me also this power, that on whomsoeuer I put the hands, he may receaue the holy ghost.
8:20	But Peter sayde vnto him: Thy money perishe with thee, because thou hast thought that the gyfte of God may be obteyned with money.
8:21	Thou hast neither part nor felowship in this busynesse: For thy hearte is not ryght in the syght of God.
8:22	Repent therefore of this thy wickednesse, & praye God, if perhaps ye thought of thyne heart may be forgeuen thee.
8:23	For I perceaue yt thou art in the gall of bitternesse, & wrapped in iniquitie.
8:24	The aunswered Simon & said: Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these thinges which ye haue spoke fall on me.
8:25	And they, when they had testified and preached the worde of the Lorde, returned towarde Hierusalem, and preached the Gospell in many townes of the Samaritanes.
8:26	And the Angell of the Lorde spake vnto Philip, saying: Aryse, and go towarde the South, vnto the waye that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is desert.
8:27	And he arose, & went on: and behold a man of Ethiopia, an Eunuch, & of great auctoritie with Candace, Queene of the Ethiopias, & had the rule of all her treasure, came to Hierusale for to worship.
8:28	And as he returned home agayne, sittyng in his charet, he read Esaias the prophete.
8:29	Then the spirite said vnto Philip: Go neare, & ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
8:30	And Philip ran thither to him, & heard hym reade the prophete Esaias, & saide: vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
8:31	And he said: how can I, except I had a guyde? And he desired Philip that he woulde come vp, and sit with hym.
8:32	The tenour of the scripture which he read, was this: He was ledde as a sheepe to the slaughter, & lyke a lambe dumbe before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.
8:33	In his humilitie, his iudgement is exalted: But who shall declare his generation? For his lyfe is taken from the earth.
8:34	And the Eunuche aunswered Philip, and sayde: I pray thee of whom speaketh the prophete this? Of hym selfe, or of some other man?
8:35	Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached vnto hym Iesus.
8:36	And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certayne water, and the Eunuche sayde: See, here is water, what doth let me to be baptized?
8:37	Philip sayde [vnto hym] If thou beleuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he aunswered, and saide: I beleue that Iesus Christe is the sonne of God.
8:38	And he commaunded the charet to stande styll: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and also the Eunuche: and he baptized hym.
8:39	And assoone as they were come out of the water, the spirite of ye Lorde caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe hym no more. And he went on his way reioycyng.
8:40	But Philip was founde at Azotus. And he walked throughout the countrey, preachyng in all the cities, tyll he came to Cesarea.


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.
