Deeds (Act) of Apostles 8:4-11

⁴And they that were scattered, passed forth, preaching or evangel-izing the word of God.

⁵And Philip came down into a city of Samaria, and preached to them Christ.

⁶And the people gave attention to these things that were said of Philip, with one will hearing and seeing the signs that he did.

⁷For many of them that had unclean spirits, cried with great voice, and went out. And many sick in the palsy, and crooked, were healed.

⁸Therefore great joy was made in that city.

⁹But there was a man in that city, whose name was Simon, a witch, that had deceived the folk of Samaria, saying, that himself was some great man.

¹⁰To Whom all harkened, from the least to the most, and said, This is the virtue of God, which is called great.

¹¹And they believed him, for long time he had madded them with his witchcrafts, or for this thing, that much time he had made them mad with his witchings.
