1. And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
|
1. And G1161 Saul G4569 was G2258 consenting G4909 unto his G846 death G336 . And G1161 at G1722 that G1565 time G2250 there was G1096 a great G3173 persecution G1375 against G1909 the G3588 church G1577 which G3588 was at G1722 Jerusalem G2414 ; and G5037 they were all G3956 scattered abroad G1289 throughout G2596 the G3588 regions G5561 of Judea G2449 and G2532 Samaria G4540 , except G4133 the G3588 apostles G652 .
|
|
2. and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;
|
2. And G1161 devout G2126 men G435 carried G4792 Stephen G4736 to his burial, and G2532 made G4160 great G3173 lamentation G2870 over G1909 him G846 .
|
|
3. and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
|
3. As for G1161 Saul G4569 , he made havoc G3075 of the G3588 church G1577 , entering into G1531 every house G2596 G3624 , and G5037 haling G4951 men G435 and G2532 women G1135 committed G3860 them to G1519 prison G5438 .
|
|
4. they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news -- the word.
|
4. Therefore G3767 G3303 they that were scattered abroad G1289 went every where G1330 preaching G2097 the G3588 word G3056 .
|
|
5. And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,
|
5. Then G1161 Philip G5376 went down G2718 to G1519 the city G4172 of Samaria G4540 , and preached G2784 Christ G5547 unto them G846 .
|
|
6. the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
|
6. And G5037 the G3588 people G3793 with one accord G3661 gave heed G4337 unto those things which G5259 Philip G5376 spake G3004 , hearing G191 and G2532 seeing G991 the G3588 miracles G4592 which G3739 he did G4160 .
|
|
7. for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
|
7. For G1063 unclean G169 spirits G4151 , crying G994 with loud G3173 voice G5456 , came out G1831 of many G4183 that were possessed G2192 with them : and G1161 many G4183 taken with palsies G3886 , and G2532 that were lame G5560 , were healed G2323 .
|
|
8. and there was great joy in that city.
|
8. And G2532 there was G1096 great G3173 joy G5479 in G1722 that G1565 city G4172 .
|
|
9. And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
|
9. But G1161 there was a certain G5100 man G435 , called G3686 Simon G4613 , which beforetime G4391 in G1722 the G3588 same city G4172 used sorcery G3096 , and G2532 bewitched G1839 the G3588 people G1484 of Samaria G4540 , giving out G3004 that himself G1438 was G1511 some G5100 great one G3173 :
|
|
10. to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, `This one is the great power of God;`
|
10. To whom G3739 they all G3956 gave heed G4337 , from G575 the least G3398 to G2193 the greatest G3173 , saying G3004 , This man G3778 is G2076 the G3588 great G3173 power G1411 of God G2316 .
|
|
11. and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.
|
11. And G1161 to him G846 they had regard G4337 , because that of long G2425 time G5550 he had bewitched G1839 them G846 with sorceries G3095 .
|
|
12. And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;
|
12. But G1161 when G3753 they believed G4100 Philip G5376 preaching G2097 the things G3588 concerning G4012 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 , and G2532 the G3588 name G3686 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , they were baptized G907 , both G5037 men G435 and G2532 women G1135 .
|
|
13. and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
|
13. Then G1161 Simon G4613 himself G846 believed G4100 also G2532 : and G2532 when he was baptized G907 , he continued G2258 G4342 with Philip G5376 , and G5037 wondered G1839 , beholding G2334 the G3173 miracles G1411 and G2532 signs G4592 which were done G1096 .
|
|
14. And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,
|
14. Now G1161 when the G3588 apostles G652 which G3588 were at G1722 Jerusalem G2414 heard G191 that G3754 Samaria G4540 had received G1209 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 , they sent G649 unto G4314 them G846 Peter G4074 and G2532 John G2491 :
|
|
15. who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, --
|
15. Who G3748 , when they were come down G2597 , prayed G4336 for G4012 them G846 , that G3704 they might receive G2983 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 :
|
|
16. for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus;
|
16. ( For G1063 as yet G3768 he was G2258 fallen G1968 upon G1909 none G3762 of them G846 G1161 : only G3440 they were G5225 baptized G907 in G1519 the G3588 name G3686 of the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 .)
|
|
17. then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
|
17. Then G5119 laid G2007 they their hands G5495 on G1909 them G846 , and G2532 they received G2983 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 .
|
|
18. And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,
|
18. And G1161 when Simon G4613 saw G2300 that G3754 through G1223 laying on G1936 of the G3588 apostles G652 ' hands G5495 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 was given G1325 , he offered G4374 them G846 money G5536 ,
|
|
19. saying, `Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.`
|
19. Saying G3004 , Give G1325 me also G2504 this G5026 power G1849 , that G2443 on whomsoever G3739 G302 I lay G2007 hands G5495 , he may receive G2983 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 .
|
|
20. And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee -- may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;
|
20. But G1161 Peter G4074 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , Thy G4675 money G694 perish G1498 G1519 G684 with G4862 thee G4671 , because G3754 thou hast thought G3543 that the G3588 gift G1431 of God G2316 may be purchased G2932 with G1223 money G5536 .
|
|
21. thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;
|
21. Thou G4671 hast G2076 neither G3756 part G3310 nor G3761 lot G2819 in G1722 this G5129 matter G3056 : for G1063 thy G4675 heart G2588 is G2076 not G3756 right G2117 in the sight G1799 of God G2316 .
|
|
22. reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,
|
22. Repent G3340 therefore G3767 of G575 this G5026 thy G4675 wickedness G2549 , and G2532 pray G1189 God G2316 , if G1487 perhaps G686 the G3588 thought G1963 of thine G4675 heart G2588 may be forgiven G863 thee G4671 .
|
|
23. for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.`
|
23. For G1063 I perceive G3708 that thou G4571 art G5607 in G1519 the gall G5521 of bitterness G4088 , and G2532 in the bond G4886 of iniquity G93 .
|
|
24. And Simon answering, said, `Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.`
|
24. Then G1161 answered G611 Simon G4613 , and said G2036 , Pray G1189 ye G5210 to G4314 the G3588 Lord G2962 for G5228 me G1700 , that G3704 none G3367 of these things which G3739 ye have spoken G2046 come G1904 upon G1909 me G1691 .
|
|
25. They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.
|
25. And G3767 they G3588 , when they G3303 G3767 had testified G1263 and G2532 preached G2980 the G3588 word G3056 of the G3588 Lord G2962 , returned G5290 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 , and G5037 preached the gospel G2097 in many G4183 villages G2968 of the G3588 Samaritans G4541 .
|
|
26. And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, `Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,` -- this is desert.
|
26. And G1161 the angel G32 of the Lord G2962 spake G2980 unto G4314 Philip G5376 , saying G3004 , Arise G450 , and G2532 go G4198 toward G2596 the south G3314 unto G1909 the G3588 way G3598 that goeth down G2597 from G575 Jerusalem G2419 unto G1519 Gaza G1048 , which G3778 is G2076 desert G2048 .
|
|
27. And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;
|
27. And G2532 he arose G450 and G2532 went G4198 : and G2532 , behold G2400 , a man G435 of Ethiopia G128 , an eunuch G2135 of great authority G1413 under Candace G2582 queen G938 of the Ethiopians G128 , who G3739 had the charge G2258 G1909 of all G3956 her G848 treasure G1047 , and G2532 had G3739 come G2064 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 for to worship G4352 ,
|
|
28. he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
|
28. G5037 Was G2258 returning G5290 , and G2532 sitting G2521 in G1909 his G848 chariot G716 G2532 read G314 Isaiah G2268 the G3588 prophet G4396 .
|
|
29. And the Spirit said to Philip, `Go near, and be joined to this chariot;`
|
29. Then G1161 the G3588 Spirit G4151 said G2036 unto Philip G5376 , Go near G4334 , and G2532 join thyself G2853 to this G5129 chariot G716 .
|
|
30. and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, `Dost thou then know what thou dost read?`
|
30. And G1161 Philip G5376 ran thither G4370 to him, and heard G191 him G846 read G314 the G3588 prophet G4396 Isaiah, G2268 and G2532 said G2036 G687 G1065 , Understandest G1097 thou what G3739 thou readest G314 ?
|
|
31. and he said, `Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?` he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
|
31. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 G1063 , How G4459 can G1410 G302 I, except G3362 some man G5100 should guide G3594 me G3165 ? And G5037 he desired G3870 Philip G5376 that he would come up G305 and sit G2523 with G4862 him G846 .
|
|
32. And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: `As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;
|
32. G1161 The G3588 place G4042 of the G3588 Scripture G1124 which G3739 he read G314 was G2258 this G3778 , He was led G71 as G5613 a sheep G4263 to G1909 the slaughter G4967 ; and G2532 like G5613 a lamb G286 dumb G880 before G1726 his G846 shearer G2751 , so G3779 opened G455 he not G3756 his G848 mouth G4750 :
|
|
33. in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation -- who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.`
|
33. In G1722 his G846 humiliation G5014 his G846 judgment G2920 was taken away G142 : and G1161 who G5101 shall declare G1334 his G846 generation G1074 ? for G3754 his G846 life G2222 is taken G142 from G575 the G3588 earth G1093 .
|
|
34. And the eunuch answering Philip said, `I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?`
|
34. And G1161 the G3588 eunuch G2135 answered G611 Philip G5376 , and said G2036 , I pray G1189 thee G4675 , of G4012 whom G5101 speaketh G3004 the G3588 prophet G4396 this G5124 ? of G4012 himself G1438 , or G2228 of G4012 some other man G5101 G2087 ?
|
|
35. and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him -- Jesus.
|
35. Then G1161 Philip G5376 opened G455 his G848 mouth G4750 , and G2532 began G756 at G575 the same G5026 Scripture G1124 , and preached G2097 unto him G846 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
36. And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?`
|
36. And G1161 as G5613 they went G4198 on G2596 their way G3598 , they came G2064 unto G1909 a certain G5100 water G5204 : and G2532 the G3588 eunuch G2135 said G5346 , See G2400 , here is water G5204 ; what G5101 doth hinder G2967 me G3165 to be baptized G907 ?
|
|
37. And Philip said, `If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;` and he answering said, `I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;`
|
37. And G1161 Philip G5376 said G2036 , If G1487 thou believest G4100 with G1537 all G3650 thine heart G2588 , thou mayest G1832 . And G1161 he answered G611 and said G2036 , I believe G4100 that Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 is G1511 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 .
|
|
38. and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;
|
38. And G2532 he commanded G2753 the G3588 chariot G716 to stand still G2476 : and G2532 they went down G2597 both G297 into G1519 the G3588 water G5204 , both G5037 Philip G5376 and G2532 the G3588 eunuch G2135 ; and G2532 he baptized G907 him G846 .
|
|
39. and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
|
39. And G1161 when G3753 they were come up G305 out of G1537 the G3588 water G5204 , the Spirit G4151 of the Lord G2962 caught away G726 Philip G5376 , that G2532 the G3588 eunuch G2135 G3756 saw G1492 him G846 no more G3765 : and G1063 he went G4198 on his G848 way G3598 rejoicing G5463 .
|
|
40. and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Cesarea.
|
40. But G1161 Philip G5376 was found G2147 at G1519 Azotus G108 : and G2532 passing through G1330 he preached G2097 in all G3956 the G3588 cities G4172 , till G2193 he G846 came G2064 to G1519 Caesarea G2542 .
