10: to whom_G3739 were giving heed_G4337 all,_G3956 from_G0575 small_G3398 to_G2193 great,_G3173 saying,_G3004 This one_G3778 is_G1510 the_G3588 power_G1411 -_G3588 of God_G2316 that_G3588 [is] called_G2564 Great._G3173

11: They were giving heed_G4337 now_G1161 to him,_G0846 because_G1223 the_G3588 long_G2425 time_G5550 with the_G3588 magic arts_G3095 he had amazed_G1839 them._G0846

12: When_G3753 however_G1161 they believed_G4100 -_G3588 Philip,_G5376 proclaiming the gospel_G2097 concerning_G4012 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 -_G3588 of God,_G2316 and_G2532 the_G3588 name_G3686 of Jesus_G2424 Christ,_G5547 they were baptized,_G0907 men_G0435 both_G5037 and_G2532 women._G1135

14: Having heard_G0191 now_G1161 the_G3588 in_G1722 Jerusalem_G2414 apostles_G0652 that_G3754 had received_G1209 -_G3588 Samaria_G4540 the_G3588 word_G3056 -_G3588 of God,_G2316 they sent_G0649 to_G4314 them_G0846 Peter_G4074 and_G2532 John,_G2491

15: who_G3748 having come down,_G2597 prayed_G4336 for_G4012 them_G0846 that_G3704 they might receive [the]_G2983 Spirit_G4151 Holy._G0040

16: Not yet_G3764 for_G1063 He was_G1510 upon_G1909 any_G3762 of them_G0846 fallen;_G1968 only_G3440 however_G1161 baptized_G0907 they had been_G5225 into_G1519 the_G3588 name_G3686 of the_G3588 Lord_G2962 Jesus._G2424

17: Then_G5119 they began laying_G2007 the_G3588 hands_G5495 upon_G1909 them,_G0846 and_G2532 they received_G2983 [the] Spirit_G4151 Holy._G0040

18: Having seen_G3708 now_G1161 -_G3588 of Simon_G4613 that_G3754 through_G1223 the_G3588 laying on_G1936 of the_G3588 hands_G5495 of the_G3588 apostles_G0652 was given_G1325 the_G3588 Spirit,_G4151 he offered_G4374 to them_G0846 money,_G5536

19: saying,_G3004 Give_G1325 also to me_G2504 the_G3588 authority_G1849 this,_G3778 that_G2443 on whom_G3739 if_G1437 I may lay_G2007 the_G3588 hands,_G5495 he may receive_G2983 [the] Spirit_G4151 Holy._G0040

20: Peter_G4074 however_G1161 said_G2036 to_G4314 him,_G0846 The_G3588 silver_G0694 of you,_G4771 with_G4862 you_G4771 may it be_G1510 to_G1519 destruction,_G0684 because_G3754 the_G3588 gift_G1431 -_G3588 of God_G2316 you thought_G3543 by_G1223 money_G5536 to be obtained!_G2932

21: No_G3756 there is_G1510 to you_G4771 part,_G3310 nor_G3761 lot,_G2819 in_G1722 the_G3588 matter_G3056 this;_G3778 the_G3588 for_G1063 heart_G2588 of you_G4771 not_G3756 is_G1510 right_G2117 before_G1725 -_G3588 God._G2316

22: Repent_G3340 therefore_G3767 of_G0575 the_G3588 wickedness_G2549 of yours_G4771 this,_G3778 and_G2532 pray earnestly to_G1189 the_G3588 Lord,_G2962 if_G1487 indeed_G0687 will be forgiven_G0863 you_G4771 the_G3588 intent_G1963 of the_G3588 heart_G2588 of you;_G4771

23: in_G1519 for_G1063 [the] gall_G5521 of bitterness_G4088 and_G2532 [the] bond_G4886 of iniquity,_G0093 I see_G3708 you_G4771 being._G1510

24: Answering_G0611 now,_G1161 -_G3588 Simon_G4613 said,_G2036 Pray earnestly_G1189 you_G4771 on behalf_G5228 of me_G1473 to_G4314 the_G3588 Lord,_G2962 so that_G3704 nothing_G3367 may come_G1904 upon_G1909 me_G1473 of which_G3739 you have spoken._G2046

25: They_G3588 indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 having earnestly testified,_G1263 and_G2532 having spoken_G2980 the_G3588 word_G3056 of the_G3588 Lord,_G2962 traveled back_G5290 to_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2414 to many_G4183 then_G5037 villages_G2968 of the_G3588 Samaritans_G4541 they were preaching the gospel._G2097

26: An angel_G0032 now_G1161 of [the] Lord_G2962 spoke_G2980 to_G4314 Philip,_G5376 saying,_G3004 Rise up_G0450 and_G2532 go_G4198 toward_G2596 [the] south,_G3314 to_G1909 the_G3588 road_G3598 -_G3588 going down_G2597 from_G0575 Jerusalem_G2419 to_G1519 Gaza._G1048 This_G3778 is_G1510 [the] desert [road]._G2048

27: And_G2532 having risen up,_G0450 he went._G4198 And_G2532 behold,_G2400 a man_G0435 an Ethiopian,_G0128 a eunuch,_G2135 a potentate_G1413 of Candace_G2582 queen_G0938 of [the] Ethiopians,_G0128 who_G3739 was_G1510 over_G1909 all_G3956 the_G3588 treasure_G1047 of her,_G0846 who_G3739 had come_G2064 to worship_G4352 to_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2419

29: Said_G2036 then_G1161 the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 -_G3588 to Philip,_G5376 Go near_G4334 and_G2532 join yourself_G2853 to the_G3588 chariot_G0716 this._G3778

30: Having run up_G4370 then,_G1161 -_G3588 Philip_G5376 heard_G0191 him_G0846 reading_G0314 Isaiah_G2268 the_G3588 prophet,_G4396 and_G2532 said,_G2036 Then_G0686 also_G1065 understand you_G1097 what_G3739 you are reading?_G0314

31: -_G3588 And_G1161 he said,_G2036 How_G4459 for_G1063 -_G0302 could I be able_G1410 if_G1437 not_G3361 someone_G5100 will guide_G3594 me?_G1473 He invited_G3870 then_G5037 -_G3588 Philip,_G5376 having come up,_G0305 to sit_G2523 with_G4862 him._G0846

32: -_G3588 Now_G1161 the passage_G4042 of the_G3588 Scripture_G1124 which_G3739 he was reading_G0314 was_G1510 this:_G3778 As_G5613 a sheep_G4263 to_G1909 slaughter_G4967 He was led,_G0071 and_G2532 as_G5613 a lamb_G0286 before_G1726 the [one]_G3588 shearing_G2751 him_G0846 [is] silent,_G0880 so_G3779 not_G3756 He opens_G0455 the_G3588 mouth_G4750 of Him._G0846

33: In_G1722 the_G3588 humiliation_G5014 of Him,_G0846 -_G3588 justice_G2920 from Him_G0846 was taken away._G0142 The_G3588 generation_G1074 of Him,_G0846 who_G5101 will describe?_G1334 For_G3754 is removed_G0142 from_G0575 the_G3588 earth_G1093 the_G3588 life_G2222 of Him._G0846

35: Having opened_G0455 then_G1161 -_G3588 Philip_G5376 the_G3588 mouth_G4750 of him_G0846 and_G2532 having begun_G0756 from_G0575 the_G3588 Scripture_G1124 this,_G3778 he proclaimed the good news_G2097 to him—_G0846 -_G3588 Jesus._G2424

36: As_G5613 then_G1161 they were going_G4198 along_G2596 the_G3588 road,_G3598 they came_G2064 upon_G1909 some_G5100 water,_G5204 and_G2532 says_G5346 the_G3588 eunuch,_G2135 Behold_G2400 water;_G5204 what_G5101 prevents_G2967 me_G1473 to be baptized?_G0907

37: said_G3004 then_G1161 -_G3588 Philip,_G5376 If_G1487 you believe_G4100 from_G1537 all_G3650 the_G3588 heart,_G2588 it is lawful._G1832 He answered_G0611 and_G1161 he said,_G2036 I believe_G4100 the_G3588 Son_G5207 -_G3588 of God_G2316 to be_G1510 -_G3588 Jesus_G2424 Christ._G5547
