Acts 8:9-13

Modern English Version

Simon the Sorcerer Believes

⁹ Now a man named Simon was previously in the city practicing sorcery and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying he was someone great, ¹⁰ to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” ¹¹ They listened to him, because for a long time he had astonished them by his sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. ¹³ Even Simon himself believed. And when he was baptized, he continued with Philip and was amazed as he watched the miracles and signs which were done.
