Acts 8:5-13 and Philip having come to a city of Samaria, proclaimed to them the Christ.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ and Philip having come to a city of Samaria, proclaimed to them the Christ. ⁶ And the crowds with one accord attended to what were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signal miracles which he performed. ⁷ For unclean spirits, with which many were possessed, went out of them with loud outcries: and many paralytic and lame persons were cured. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ Now there was a certain man, named Simon, who had heretofore practised magical arts in that city and astonished the nation of Samaria, pretending that he was an extraordinary person, ¹⁰ to whom all paid regard, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 11 To him indeed they paid regard because for a long time he had astonished them with his magical arts ¹² But when they believed Philip's proclamation of the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And even Simon himself believed, and being baptized, he continued steadily with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles done, he was astonished.
