8:7	For manye of hem that hadden vnclene spirits, crieden with a greet vois, and wenten out.
8:8	And manye sijk in the palsi, and crokid, weren heelid.
8:9	Therfor greet ioye was maad in that citee. But there was a man in that citee, whos name was Symount, a witche, that hadde disseyued the folc of Samarie, seiynge, that him silf was sum greet man.
8:10	Whom alle herkeneden, fro the leest to the moost, and seiden, This is the vertu of God, which is clepid greet.
8:11	And thei leueden hym, for long tyme he hadde maddid hem with his witche craftis.
8:12	But whanne thei hadden bileued to Filip, `that prechide of the kingdom of God, men and wymmen weren baptisid in the name of Jhesu Crist.
8:13	And thanne also Symount him silf bileued; and whanne he was baptisid, he drouy to Filip; and he sai also that signes and grete vertues weren don, he was astonyed, and wondride.
8:14	But whanne the apostlis that weren at Jerusalem, hadden herd that Samarie hadde resseyued the word of God, thei senten to hem Petre and Joon.
8:15	And whanne thei camen, thei preieden for hem, that thei schulden resseyue the Hooli Goost;
8:16	for he cam not yit in to ony of hem, but thei weren baptisid oonli in the name of the Lord Jhesu.
8:17	Thanne thei leiden hoondis on hem, and thei resseyueden the Hooli Goost.
8:18	And whanne Symount hadde seyn, that the Hooly Goost was youun bi leiyng on of the hoondis of the apostlis, and he proferide to hem money, and seide,
8:19	Yyue ye also to me this power, that whom euere Y schal leye on myn hoondis, that he resseyue the Hooli Goost.
8:20	But Petir seide to hym, Thi money be with thee into perdicioun, for thou gessidist the yifte of God schulde be had for monei.
8:21	Ther is no part, ne sort to thee, in this word, for thin herte is not riytful bifor God.
8:22	Therfor do thou penaunce for this wickidnesse of thee, and preie God, if perauenture this thouyt of thin herte be foryouun to thee.
8:23	For Y se that thou art in the gall of bitternesse and in the boond of wickidnesse.
8:24	And Symount answeride, and seide, Preie ye for me to the Lord, that no thing of these thingis that ye han seid, com on me.
8:25	And thei witnessiden, and spaken the word of the Lord, and yeden ayen to Jerusalem, and prechiden to many cuntrees of Samaritans.
8:26	And an aungel of the Lord spak to Filip, and seide, Ryse thou, and go ayens the south, to the weie that goith doun fro Jerusalem in to Gasa; this is desert.
8:27	And he roos, and wente forth. And lo! a man of Ethiopie, a myyti man seruaunt, a yelding of Candace, the queen of Ethiopiens, which was on alle her richessis, cam to worschipe in Jerusalem.
8:28	And he turnede ayen, sittinge on his chare, and redinge Isaie, the profete.
8:29	And the spirit seide to Filip, Neiye thou, and ioyne thee to this chare.
8:30	And Filip `ran to, and herde hym redynge Ysaie, the prophete. And he seide, Gessist thou, whether thou vndirstondist, what thingis thou redist?
8:31	And he seide, How may Y, if no man schewe to me? And he preiede Filip, that he schulde come vp, and sitte with hym.
8:32	And the place of the scripture that he redde, was this, As a scheep he was led to sleyng, and as a lomb bifor a man that scherith him is doumb with out vois, so he openyde not his mouth.
8:33	In mekenesse his dom was takun vp; who schal telle out the generacioun of hym? For his lijf schal be takun awei fro the erthe.
8:34	And the gelding answeride to Filip, and seide, Y biseche thee, of `what profete seith he this thing? of him silf, ethir of ony othere?
8:35	And Filip openyde his mouth, and bigan at this scripture, and prechide to him Jhesu.
8:36	And the while thei wenten bi the weie, thei camen to a water. And the gelding seide, Lo! watir; who forbedith me to be baptisid?
8:37	And Filip seide, If thou bileuest of al the herte, it is leueful. And he answeride, and seide, Y bileue that Jhesu Crist is the sone of God.
8:38	And he comaundide the chare to stonde stille. And thei wenten doun bothe into the watir, Filip and the gelding, and Filip baptiside hym.
8:39	And whanne thei weren come vp of the watir, the spirit of the Lord rauyschide Filip, and the gelding say hym no more.
8:40	And Filip was foundun in Azotus; and he passide forth, and prechide to alle citees, til he cam to Cesarie.


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	Now Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea 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 havoc of the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women away, committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.
8:5	Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.
8:6	And the people with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
8:7	Because, unclean spirits, shouting with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed with them; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
8:8	And there was great joy in that city.
8:9	But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the same city and seduced the people of Samaria, claiming that he 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 they heeded him because he had seduced them with his sorceries for a long time.
8:12	But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.
8:13	Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.
8:14	Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
8:15	who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
8:16	Because as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
8:17	Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
8:18	And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
8:19	saying, "Give me this authority also, that whoever I lay hands upon, they may receive the Holy Spirit."
8:20	But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!
8:21	You have neither part nor portion in this matter, because your heart is not right in the sight of God.
8:22	Therefore repent of this your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
8:23	Because I perceive that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity."
8:24	Then Simon replied and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken should come upon me."
8:25	So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
8:26	Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert."
8:27	So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
8:28	was returning, and sitting in his chariot, was reading Isaiah the prophet.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near and join yourself to this chariot."
8:30	So Philip ran over to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
8:31	And he said, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he wanted Philip to come up and sit with him.
8:32	The place in the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
8:33	In His humiliation His justice was taken away, and who shall declare His generation? Because His life is taken from the earth."
8:34	So the eunuch replied to Philip and said, "I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?"
8:35	Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.
8:36	Now as they went on their way, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?"
8:37	Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he replied and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
8:38	So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
8:39	Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch did not see him any longer; and he went on his way rejoicing.
8:40	But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
