KJV ¹ And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

TR1550 ¹ σαῦλος δὲ ἦν συνευδοκῶν τῇ ἀναιρέσει αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ διωγμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τὴν ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις πάντες τε διεσπάρησαν κατὰ τὰς χώρας τῆς ἰουδαίας καὶ σαμαρείας πλὴν τῶν ἀποστόλων

KJV ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

TR1550 ² συνεκόμισαν δὲ τὸν στέφανον ἄνδρες εὐλαβεῖς καὶ ἐποίησαντὸ κοπετὸν μέγαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ

KJV ³ As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

TR1550 ³ σαῦλος δὲ ἐλυμαίνετο τὴν ἐκκλησίαν κατὰ τοὺς οἴκους εἰσπορευόμενος σύρων τε ἄνδρας καὶ γυναῖκας παρεδίδου εἰς φυλακήν

KJV ⁴ Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

TR1550 ⁴ οἱ μὲν οὖν διασπαρέντες διῆλθον εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν λόγον

KJV ⁵ Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

TR1550 ⁵ φίλιππος δὲ κατελθὼν εἰς πόλιν τῆς σαμαρείας ἐκήρυσσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν χριστόν

KJV ⁶ And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

TR1550 ⁶ προσεῖχον τὲ οἱ ὄχλοι τοῖς λεγομένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ φιλίππου ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοὺς καὶ βλέπειν τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίει

KJV ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

TR1550 ⁷ πολλῶν γὰρ τῶν ἐχόντων πνεύματα ἀκάθαρτα βοῶντα μεγάλῃ φωνῇ ἐξήρχετο πολλοὶ δὲ παραλελυμένοι καὶ χωλοὶ ἐθεραπεύθησαν

KJV ⁸ And there was great joy in that city.

TR1550 ⁸ καὶ ἐγένετο χαρὰ μεγάλη ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ

KJV ⁹ But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

TR1550 ⁹ ἀνὴρ δέ τις ὀνόματι σίμων προϋπῆρχεν ἐν τῇ πόλει μαγεύων καὶ ἐξιστῶν τὸ ἔθνος τῆς σαμαρείας λέγων εἶναί τινα ἑαυτὸν μέγαν

KJV ¹⁰ To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

TR1550 ¹⁰ ᾧ προσεῖχον πάντες ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου λέγοντες οὗτός ἐστιν ἡ δύναμις τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ μεγάλη

KJV ¹¹ And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

TR1550 ¹¹ προσεῖχον δὲ αὐτῷ διὰ τὸ ἱκανῷ χρόνῳ ταῖς μαγείαις ἐξεστακέναι αὐτούς

KJV ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

TR1550 ¹² ὅτε δὲ ἐπίστευσαν τῷ φιλίππῳ εὐαγγελιζομένῳ τὰ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἐβαπτίζοντο ἄνδρες τε καὶ γυναῖκες

KJV ¹³ Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

TR1550 ¹³ ὁ δὲ σίμων καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπίστευσεν καὶ βαπτισθεὶς ἦν προσκαρτερῶν τῷ φιλίππῳ θεωρῶν τε σημεῖα καὶ δυνάμεις μεγάλας γινομένας ἐξίστατο

KJV ¹⁴ Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

TR1550 ¹⁴ ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις ἀπόστολοι ὅτι δέδεκται ἡ σαμάρεια τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὸν πέτρον καὶ ἰωάννην

KJV ¹⁵ Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

TR1550 ¹⁵ οἵτινες καταβάντες προσηύξαντο περὶ αὐτῶν ὅπως λάβωσιν πνεῦμα ἅγιον

KJV ¹⁶ (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

TR1550 ¹⁶ οὔπω γὰρ ἦν ἐπ᾽ οὐδενὶ αὐτῶν ἐπιπεπτωκός μόνον δὲ βεβαπτισμένοι ὑπῆρχον εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ

KJV ¹⁷ Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

TR1550 ¹⁷ τότε ἐπετίθουν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς καὶ ἐλάμβανον πνεῦμα ἅγιον

KJV ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

TR1550 ¹⁸ θεασάμενος δὲ ὁ σίμων ὅτι διὰ τῆς ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων δίδοται τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, προσήνεγκεν αὐτοῖς χρήματα

KJV ¹⁹ Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

TR1550 ¹⁹ λέγων, δότε κἀμοὶ τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην ἵνα ᾧ ἂν ἐπιθῶ τὰς χεῖρας λαμβάνῃ πνεῦμα ἅγιον

KJV ²⁰ But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

TR1550 ²⁰ πέτρος δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν τὸ ἀργύριόν σου σὺν σοὶ εἴη εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὅτι τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνόμισας διὰ χρημάτων κτᾶσθαι

KJV ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

TR1550 ²¹ οὐκ ἔστιν σοι μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ ἡ γὰρ καρδία σου οὐκ ἔστιν εὐθεῖα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ

KJV ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

TR1550 ²² μετανόησον οὖν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας σου ταύτης καὶ δεήθητι τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεταί σοι ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σου

KJV ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

TR1550 ²³ εἰς γὰρ χολὴν πικρίας καὶ σύνδεσμον ἀδικίας ὁρῶ σε ὄντα

KJV ²⁴ Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

TR1550 ²⁴ ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ σίμων εἶπεν δεήθητε ὑμεῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὅπως μηδὲν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ὧν εἰρήκατε

KJV ²⁵ And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

TR1550 ²⁵ οἱ μὲν οὖν διαμαρτυράμενοι καὶ λαλήσαντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς ἰερουσαλήμ πολλάς τε κώμας τῶν σαμαρειτῶν εὐηγγελίσαντο

KJV ²⁶ And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

TR1550 ²⁶ ἄγγελος δὲ κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρὸς φίλιππον λέγων, ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου κατὰ μεσημβρίαν ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπὸ ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς γάζαν αὕτη ἐστὶν ἔρημος

KJV ²⁷ And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

TR1550 ²⁷ καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἰδού, ἀνὴρ αἰθίοψ εὐνοῦχος δυνάστης κανδάκης τῆς βασιλίσσης αἰθιόπων ὃς ἦν ἐπὶ πάσης τῆς γάζης αὐτῆς ὃς ἐληλύθει προσκυνήσων εἰς ἰερουσαλήμ

KJV ²⁸ Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

TR1550 ²⁸ ἦν τε ὑποστρέφων καὶ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνεγίνωσκεν τὸν προφήτην ἠσαΐαν

KJV ²⁹ Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

TR1550 ²⁹ εἶπεν δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τῷ φιλίππῳ πρόσελθε καὶ κολλήθητι τῷ ἅρματι τούτῳ

KJV ³⁰ And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

TR1550 ³⁰ προσδραμὼν δὲ ὁ φίλιππος ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ ἀναγινώσκοντος τὸν προφήτην ἠσαΐαν καὶ εἶπεν Ἆρά γε γινώσκεις ἃ ἀναγινώσκεις

KJV ³¹ And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

TR1550 ³¹ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πῶς γὰρ ἂν δυναίμην ἐὰν μή τις ὁδήγησῃ με παρεκάλεσέν τε τὸν φίλιππον ἀναβάντα καθίσαι σὺν αὐτῷ

KJV ³² The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

TR1550 ³² ἡ δὲ περιοχὴ τῆς γραφῆς ἣν ἀνεγίνωσκεν ἦν αὕτη ὡς πρόβατον ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἤχθη καὶ ὡς ἀμνὸς ἐναντίον τοῦ κείροντος αὐτὸν ἄφωνος οὕτως οὐκ ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ

KJV ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

TR1550 ³³ ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτοῦ ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη τὴν δὲ γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ

KJV ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

TR1550 ³⁴ ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ εὐνοῦχος τῷ φιλίππῳ εἶπεν δέομαί σου περὶ τίνος ὁ προφήτης λέγει τοῦτο περὶ ἑαυτοῦ ἢ περὶ ἑτέρου τινός

KJV ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

TR1550 ³⁵ ἀνοίξας δὲ ὁ φίλιππος τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς γραφῆς ταύτης εὐηγγελίσατο αὐτῷ τὸν ἰησοῦν

KJV ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

TR1550 ³⁶ ὡς δὲ ἐπορεύοντο κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν ἦλθον ἐπί τι ὕδωρ καί φησιν ὁ εὐνοῦχος ἰδού, ὕδωρ τί κωλύει με βαπτισθῆναι

KJV ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

TR1550 ³⁷ εἶπεν δὲ ὁ φίλιππος εἰ πιστεύεις ἐξ ὅλης τὴς καρδίας, ἔξεστιν ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν πιστεύω τὸν ὑιὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐιναι τὸν ἰησοῦν χριστόν

KJV ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

TR1550 ³⁸ καὶ ἐκέλευσεν στῆναι τὸ ἅρμα καὶ κατέβησαν ἀμφότεροι εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ ὅ τε φίλιππος καὶ ὁ εὐνοῦχος καὶ ἐβάπτισεν αὐτόν

KJV ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

TR1550 ³⁹ ὅτε δὲ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος πνεῦμα κυρίου ἥρπασεν τὸν φίλιππον καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν οὐκέτι ὁ εὐνοῦχος ἐπορεύετο γὰρ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ χαίρων

KJV ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

TR1550 ⁴⁰ φίλιππος δὲ εὑρέθη εἰς ἄζωτον καὶ διερχόμενος εὐηγγελίζετο τὰς πόλεις πάσας ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς καισάρειαν
