Acts 8:7-12

⁷Because unclean spirits came out screaming from many who had them, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.

⁸Yes, there was great joy in that city!

⁹Now a certain man named Simon was in the city first, practicing sorcery and astounding the people of Samaria, affirming himself to be someone great,

¹⁰to whom they used to pay attention, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.”

¹¹They listened to him because he had amazed them with his sorceries for a long time.

¹²But, when they believed Philip, as he proclaimed the good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name, Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
