Saul now was there consenting to the killing of him. Arose then on that [very] day a persecution great against the church which [was] in Jerusalem. All then were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

Buried now Stephen men devout, and they made lamentation great over him.

Saul however was destroying the church; [houses] after houses entering, dragging off then men and women, he was delivering [them] to prison.

Those indeed therefore having been scattered went about, preaching the word.

Philip now, having gone down to [a] city of Samaria, was proclaiming to them the Christ.

Were giving heed now the crowds to the things being spoken by Philip with one accord, in the [time] to hear them and to see the signs that he was performing.

many for of those having spirits unclean, crying voice in a loud, they were coming out [of them]; many now, paralyzed and lame, were healed.

There was then much joy in the city that.

A man now certain, named Simon, was formerly in the city practicing sorcery and amazing the people of Samaria, declaring to be someone himself great,

to whom were giving heed all, from small to great, saying, This [one] is the power of God which is called Great.

They were giving heed now to him, because the long time with the magic arts to have amazed them.

When however they believed Philip, proclaiming the gospel concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, men both and women.

Having heard now the in Jerusalem apostles that has received Samaria the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John,

who having come down, prayed for them that they may receive [the] Spirit Holy.

Not yet for He was upon any of them having fallen; only however baptized they were being into the name of the Lord Jesus.

Then they were laying the hands upon them and they were receiving [the] Spirit Holy.

having seen now of Simon that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles was given the Spirit, he offered to them money,

saying, do give also to me authority this, that on whom when I shall lay the hands, he may receive [the] Spirit Holy.

Peter however said to him, The silver of you, with you might it be to destruction, because the gift of God you thought by money to be obtained!

No there is to you part, nor lot, in matter this; the for heart of you not is right before God.

do repent therefore of the wickedness of yours this, and do pray earnestly to the Lord, if indeed will be forgiven you the intent of the heart of you;

in for [the] gall of bitterness and [the] bond of iniquity, I see you being.

Answering now, Simon said, do pray earnestly you on behalf of me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me of which you have spoken.

They indeed therefore having earnestly testified, and having spoken the word of the Lord, were travelling back to Jerusalem, to many then villages of the Samaritans they were preaching the gospel.
