Deeds (Act) of Apostles 8:4-11

⁴And they that were scattered, passed forth, preaching the word of God.

⁵And Philip came down into a city of Samaria, and preached to them Christ. (And Philip came down to a city in Samaria, and preached to them about the Messiah.)

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

⁷For many of them that had unclean spirits, cried with (a) great voice, and (they) went out. And many sick in the palsy, and crooked (or and lame), 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 (or who had deceived the Samaritan people), saying, that himself was some great man.

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

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