| 1 | Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles. | Ac 7:58 Ac 22:20 |
| 2 | Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him. | Ac 2:5 Ac 10:2 Lk 2:25 |
| 3 | But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison. | Ac 7:58 Ac 9:1-13 Ac 9:21-13 Ac 22:3 Ac 22:4 Ac 26:9-11 1Co 15:9 Ga 1:13 Php 3:6 1Ti 1:13 |
| 4 | Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word. | Ac 11:19 Ac 14:2-7 Mt 10:23 1Th 2:2 |
| 5 | Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ. | Ac 8:1 Ac 8:14 Ac 8:15 Ac 8:40 Ac 6:5 Ac 21:8 |
| 6 | The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did. | Ac 13:44 2Ch 30:12 Mt 20:15 Mt 20:16 Jn 4:41 Jn 4:42 |
| 7 | For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. | Ac 5:16 Mt 10:1 Mk 9:26 Mk 16:17 Mk 16:18 Lk 10:17 Jn 14:12 Heb 2:4 |
| 8 | There was great joy in that city. | Ac 13:48 Ac 13:52 Ps 96:10-12 Ps 98:2-6 Isa 35:1 Isa 35:2 Isa 42:10-12 Lk 2:10 Lk 2:11 Ro 15:9-12 |
| 9 | But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who had used sorcery in the city before, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one, | Ac 13:6 Ac 16:16-18 Ac 19:18-20 Ex 7:11 Ex 7:22 Ex 8:18 Ex 8:19 Ex 9:11 Lv 20:6 Dt 18:10-12 2Ti 3:8 2Ti 3:9 Rev 13:13 Rev 13:14 Rev 22:15 |
| 10 | to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that great power of God." | 2Co 11:19 Eph 4:14 2Pe 2:2 Rev 13:3 |
| 11 | They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. | Isa 8:19 Isa 44:25 Isa 47:9-13 Ga 3:1 |
| 12 | But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. | Ac 8:35-38 Ac 2:38 Ac 2:41 Ac 16:14 Ac 16:15 Ac 16:31-34 Mt 28:19 Mk 16:15 Ro 10:10 1Pe 3:21 |
| 13 | Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles done, he was amazed. | Ac 8:21 Ps 78:35-37 Ps 106:12 Ps 106:13 Lk 8:13 Jn 2:23-25 Jn 8:30 Jn 8:31 Jm 2:19-26 |
| 14 | Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, | Ac 8:1 Ac 11:1 Ac 11:19-22 Ac 15:4 1Th 3:2 |
| 15 | who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; | Ac 2:38 Mt 18:19 Jn 14:13 Jn 14:14 Jn 16:23 Jn 16:24 Php 1:19 |
| 16 | for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. | Ac 10:44-46 Ac 11:15-17 Ac 19:2 |
| 17 | Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. | Ac 8:18 Ac 6:6 Ac 9:17 Ac 13:3 Ac 19:6 Nm 8:10 Nm 27:18 1Ti 4:14 1Ti 5:22 2Ti 1:6 Heb 6:2 |
| 18 | Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles` hands, he offered them money, | 2Ki 5:15 2Ki 5:16 2Ki 8:9 Ezk 13:19 Mt 10:8 1Ti 6:5 |
| 19 | saying, "Give me also this power, that whoever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit." | Ac 8:9-11 Ac 8:17-11 Mt 18:1-3 Lk 14:7-11 Jn 5:44 1Co 15:8 1Co 15:9 3Jn 1:9 |
| 20 | But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! | Ac 1:18 Dt 7:26 Jsh 7:24 Jsh 7:25 2Ki 5:26 2Ki 5:27 Dn 5:17 Hab 2:9 Hab 2:10 Zc 5:4 Mt 27:3-5 1Ti 6:9 Jm 5:3 2Pe 2:14-17 Rev 18:15 |
| 21 | You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn`t right before God. | Jsh 22:25 Ezk 14:3 Rev 20:6 Rev 22:19 |
| 22 | Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. | Ac 2:38 Ac 3:19 Ac 17:30 Ro 2:4 2Ti 2:25 2Ti 2:26 Rev 2:21 |
| 23 | For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity." | Dt 29:18-20 Dt 32:32 Dt 32:33 Jb 20:14 Jer 4:18 Jer 9:15 Lam 3:5 Lam 3:19 Heb 12:15 |
| 24 | Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken come on me." | Gn 20:7 Gn 20:17 Ex 8:8 Ex 10:17 Ex 12:32 Nm 21:7 1Sa 12:19 1Sa 12:23 1Ki 13:6 Ezr 6:10 Ezr 8:23 Jb 42:8 Jm 5:16 |
| 25 | They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. | Ac 1:8 Ac 18:5 Ac 20:21 Ac 26:22 Ac 26:23 Ac 28:23 Ac 28:28 Ac 28:31 Jn 15:27 1Pe 5:12 |
| 26 | But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert." | Ac 5:19 Ac 10:7 Ac 10:22 Ac 12:8-11 Ac 12:23-11 Ac 27:23 2Ki 1:3 Heb 1:14 |
| 27 | He arose and went. Behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship. | Mt 21:2-6 Mk 14:13-16 Jn 2:5-8 Heb 11:8 |
| 28 | He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. | Ac 17:11 Ac 17:12 Dt 6:6 Dt 6:7 Dt 11:18-20 Dt 17:18 Dt 17:19 Jsh 1:8 Ps 1:2 Ps 1:3 Ps 119:99 Ps 119:111 Pr 2:1-6 Pr 8:33 Pr 8:34 Jn 5:39 Jn 5:40 Col 3:16 2Ti 3:15-17 |
| 29 | The Spirit said to Philip, "Go near, and join yourself to this chariot." | Ac 10:19 Ac 11:12 Ac 13:2-4 Ac 16:6 Ac 16:7 Ac 20:22 Ac 20:23 Isa 65:24 Hos 6:3 1Co 12:11 1Ti 4:1 |
| 30 | Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand you what you are reading?" | Ac 8:27 Ps 119:32 Ec 9:10 Jn 4:34 |
| 31 | He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" He begged Philip to come up and sit with him. | Ps 25:8 Ps 25:9 Ps 73:16 Ps 73:17 Ps 73:22 Pr 30:2 Pr 30:3 Isa 29:18 Isa 29:19 Isa 35:8 Mt 18:3 Mt 18:4 Mk 10:15 Ro 10:14 1Co 3:18 1Co 8:2 1Co 14:36 1Co 14:37 Jm 1:10 Jm 1:21 1Pe 2:1 1Pe 2:2 |
| 32 | Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, So he doesn`t open his mouth. | Isa 53:7 Isa 53:8 |
| 33 | In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generations? For his life is taken from the earth." | Php 2:8 Php 2:9 |
| 34 | The eunuch answered Philip, "Please tell who the prophet is talking about: about himself, or about some other?" | Mt 2:2-4 Mt 13:36 Mt 15:15 |
| 35 | Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus. | Ac 10:34 Mt 5:2 2Co 6:11 |
| 36 | As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?" | Ac 10:47 Ezk 36:25 Jn 3:5 Jn 3:23 Tit 3:5 Tit 3:6 1Jn 5:6 |

| 38 | He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. | Jn 3:22 Jn 3:23 Jn 4:1 |
| 39 | When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn`t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing. | Mt 3:16 Mk 1:10 |
| 40 | But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea. | Jsh 15:46 Jsh 15:47 1Sa 5:1 Zc 9:6 |
