00:00.000 --> 00:04.620
Chapter 8 And Saul was consenting unto his
death.

00:05.500 --> 00:09.640
And at that time there was a great
persecution against the church which was

00:09.640 --> 00:10.180
at Jerusalem.

00:11.060 --> 00:14.660
And they were all scattered abroad
throughout the regions of Judea and

00:14.660 --> 00:16.820
Samaria, except the apostles.

00:17.740 --> 00:22.660
And devout men carried Stephen to his
burial, and made great lamentation over

00:22.660 --> 00:22.900
him.

00:23.580 --> 00:29.280
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church,
entering into every house, and hailing men

00:29.280 --> 00:31.140
and women, committed them to prison.

00:31.940 --> 00:35.960
Therefore they that were scattered abroad
went everywhere preaching the word.

00:36.860 --> 00:41.020
Then Philip went down to the city of
Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

00:41.840 --> 00:45.980
And the people with one accord gave heed
unto those things which Philip spake,

00:46.380 --> 00:48.460
hearing and seeing the miracles which he
did.

00:49.060 --> 00:53.040
For unclean spirits, crying with loud
voice, came out of many that were

00:53.040 --> 00:57.780
possessed with them, and many taken with
palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

00:58.460 --> 01:00.740
And there was great joy in that city.

01:01.700 --> 01:07.160
But there was a certain man called Simon,
which before time in the same city used

01:07.160 --> 01:11.880
sorcery, and bewitched the people of
Samaria, giving out that himself was some

01:11.880 --> 01:16.420
great one, to whom they all gave heed,
from the least to the greatest,

01:16.660 --> 01:19.880
saying, This man is the great power of
God.

01:19.880 --> 01:24.540
And to him they had regard, because that
of long time he had bewitched them with

01:24.540 --> 01:25.120
sorceries.

01:26.020 --> 01:29.600
But when they believed Philip preaching
the things concerning the kingdom of God,

01:29.720 --> 01:33.840
and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
baptized, both men and women.

01:34.800 --> 01:37.000
Then Simon himself believed also.

01:37.540 --> 01:42.280
And when he was baptized, he continued
with Philip, and wondered, beholding the

01:42.280 --> 01:43.980
miracles and signs which were done.

01:44.820 --> 01:49.060
Now when the apostles, which were at
Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received

01:49.060 --> 01:54.460
the word of God, they sent unto them Peter
and John, who, when they were come down,

01:54.820 --> 01:57.220
prayed for them that they might receive
the Holy Ghost.

01:57.800 --> 02:02.400
For as yet he was fallen upon none of
them, only they were baptized in the name

02:02.400 --> 02:03.100
of the Lord Jesus.

02:03.960 --> 02:07.660
Then laid they their hands on them,
and they received the Holy Ghost.

02:08.120 --> 02:12.480
And when Simon saw that through laying on
the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was

02:12.480 --> 02:18.020
given, he offered them money, saying,
Give me also this power, that on

02:18.020 --> 02:22.060
whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the
Holy Ghost.

02:22.300 --> 02:27.760
But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish
with thee, because thou hast thought that

02:27.760 --> 02:29.920
the gift of God may be purchased with
money.

02:30.920 --> 02:35.820
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this
matter, for thy heart is not right in the

02:35.820 --> 02:36.420
sight of God.

02:38.060 --> 02:42.600
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness,
and pray God, if perhaps the thought of

02:42.600 --> 02:44.360
thine heart may be forgiven thee.

02:44.720 --> 02:48.520
For I perceive that thou art in the gall
of bitterness, and in the bond of

02:48.520 --> 02:49.100
iniquity.

02:49.580 --> 02:54.580
Then answered Simon, and said,
Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of

02:54.580 --> 02:57.300
these things which ye have spoken come
upon me.

02:57.600 --> 03:00.580
And they, when they had testified and
preached the word of the Lord,

03:00.760 --> 03:04.840
returned to Jerusalem, and preached the
gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

03:05.400 --> 03:10.520
And the angel of the Lord spake unto
Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the

03:10.520 --> 03:15.900
south unto the way that goeth down from
Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

03:16.660 --> 03:17.980
And he arose and went.

03:18.520 --> 03:23.620
And behold, a man of Ethiopia,
a eunuch of great authority under Candacy,

03:23.820 --> 03:28.060
queen of the Ethiopians, who had the
charge of all her treasure, and had come

03:28.060 --> 03:32.820
to Jerusalem for to worship, was
returning, and sitting in his chariot read

03:32.820 --> 03:33.840
Esaias the prophet.

03:34.760 --> 03:39.880
Then the spirit said unto Philip,
Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

03:40.380 --> 03:44.040
And Philip ran thither to him,
and heard him read the prophet Esaias,

03:44.220 --> 03:46.900
and said, Understandest thou what thou
readest?

03:47.240 --> 03:51.240
And he said, How can I, except some man
should guide me?

03:51.500 --> 03:54.400
And he desired Philip that he would come
up and sit with him.

03:55.020 --> 03:59.340
The place of the scripture which he read
was this, He was led as a sheep to the

03:59.340 --> 04:04.600
slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his
shearer, so opened he not his mouth.

04:05.340 --> 04:08.160
In his humiliation his judgment was taken
away.

04:09.020 --> 04:10.740
And who shall declare his generation?

04:11.380 --> 04:13.440
For his life is taken from the earth.

04:14.040 --> 04:18.560
And the eunuch answered Philip,
and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh

04:18.560 --> 04:19.480
the prophet this?

04:19.960 --> 04:21.940
Of himself, or of some other man?

04:22.260 --> 04:27.320
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at
the same scripture, and preached unto him

04:27.320 --> 04:27.860
Jesus.

04:28.620 --> 04:32.440
And as they went on their way,
they came unto a certain water,

04:32.540 --> 04:35.100
and the eunuch said, See, here is water.

04:35.580 --> 04:37.660
What doth hinder me to be baptized?

04:38.240 --> 04:42.240
And Philip said, If thou believest with
all thine heart, thou mayest.

04:42.480 --> 04:47.260
And he answered and said, I believe that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

04:47.540 --> 04:49.700
And he commanded the chariot to stand
still.

04:50.300 --> 04:54.540
And they went down both into the water,
both Philip and the eunuch, and he

04:54.540 --> 04:55.340
baptized him.

04:56.020 --> 04:59.860
And when they were come up out of the
water, the spirit of the Lord caught away

04:59.860 --> 05:02.420
Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more.

05:02.980 --> 05:05.380
And he went on his way, rejoicing.

05:06.340 --> 05:10.960
But Philip was found at Azotus,
and passing through he preached in all the

05:10.960 --> 05:12.620
cities till he came to Caesarea.
