8:6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

8:7For 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.

8:8And there was great joy in that city.

8:9But 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:

8:10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

8:13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
