8:14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

8:15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

8:16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

8:17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

8:18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

8:19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

8:20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

8:21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

8:22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

8:23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

8:24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

8:27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

Selected passage

8:28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

Selected passage

8:29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

8:30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

8:31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

8:32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

8:33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

8:34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

8:35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

8:36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

8:37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

8:38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

8:39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

8:40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
