6 And the crowds, with one accord, were giving heed to the things being spoken by Philip in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was performing. 7 For from many of those having unclean spirits they were coming out, crying in a loud voice. And many having been paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 So there was great joy in that city. 9 Now a certain man named Simon had been formerly practicing sorcery in the city and amazing the people of Samaria, declaring himself to be someone great, 10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the power of God that is called Great.” 11 Now they were giving heed to him because for a long time he had amazed them with the magic arts. 12 But when they believed Philip proclaiming the gospel concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 And Simon himself also believed, and having been baptized, he was steadfastly continuing with Philip. And beholding the signs and great miracles being performed, he was amazed. Acts 8:6-13, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
