New TestamentActsSimon the Sorcerer · 8:9–138:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
