Deeds (Act) of Apostles 8:7-12

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.

¹²But when they had believed to Philip, preaching of the kingdom of God, men and women were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Soothly when they had believed to Philip, evangelizing of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, men and women were baptized.
