1 σαῦλος δὲ ἦν συνευδοκῶν τῇ ἀναιρέσει αὐτοῦ. ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ διωγμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τὴν ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις· πάντες δὲ διεσπάρησαν κατὰ τὰς χώρας τῆς ἰουδαίας καὶ σαμαρείας πλὴν τῶν ἀποστόλων.

2 συνεκόμισαν δὲ τὸν στέφανον ἄνδρες εὐλαβεῖς καὶ ἐποίησαν κοπετὸν μέγαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶ.

3 σαῦλος δὲ ἐλυμαίνετο τὴν ἐκκλησίαν κατὰ τοὺς οἴκους εἰσπορευόμενος, σύρων τε ἄνδρας καὶ γυναῖκας παρεδίδου εἰς φυλακήν.

4 οἱ μὲν οὗν διασπαρέντες διῆλθον εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν λόγον.

5 φίλιππος δὲ κατελθὼν εἰς [τὴν] πόλιν τῆς σαμαρείας ἐκήρυσσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν χριστόν.

6 προσεῖχον δὲ οἱ ὄχλοι τοῖς λεγομένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ φιλίππου ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῶ ἀκούειν αὐτοὺς καὶ βλέπειν τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίει·

7 πολλοὶ γὰρ τῶν ἐχόντων πνεύματα ἀκάθαρτα βοῶντα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξήρχοντο, πολλοὶ δὲ παραλελυμένοι καὶ χωλοὶ ἐθεραπεύθησαν·

8 ἐγένετο δὲ πολλὴ χαρὰ ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ.

9 ἀνὴρ δέ τις ὀνόματι σίμων προϊπῆρχεν ἐν τῇ πόλει μαγεύων καὶ ἐξιστάνων τὸ ἔθνος τῆς σαμαρείας, λέγων εἶναί τινα ἑαυτὸν μέγαν,

10 ᾧ προσεῖχον πάντες ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου λέγοντες, οὖτός ἐστιν ἡ δύναμις τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ καλουμένη μεγάλη.

11 προσεῖχον δὲ αὐτῶ διὰ τὸ ἱκανῶ χρόνῳ ταῖς μαγείαις ἐξεστακέναι αὐτούς.

12 ὅτε δὲ ἐπίστευσαν τῶ φιλίππῳ εὐαγγελιζομένῳ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, ἐβαπτίζοντο ἄνδρες τε καὶ γυναῖκες.

13 ὁ δὲ σίμων καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπίστευσεν, καὶ βαπτισθεὶς ἦν προσκαρτερῶν τῶ φιλίππῳ, θεωρῶν τε σημεῖα καὶ δυνάμεις μεγάλας γινομένας ἐξίστατο.

14 ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις ἀπόστολοι ὅτι δέδεκται ἡ σαμάρεια τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς πέτρον καὶ ἰωάννην,

15 οἵτινες καταβάντες προσηύξαντο περὶ αὐτῶν ὅπως λάβωσιν πνεῦμα ἅγιον·

16 οὐδέπω γὰρ ἦν ἐπ᾽ οὐδενὶ αὐτῶν ἐπιπεπτωκός, μόνον δὲ βεβαπτισμένοι ὑπῆρχον εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ.

17 τότε ἐπετίθεσαν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐλάμβανον πνεῦμα ἅγιον.

18 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ σίμων ὅτι διὰ τῆς ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων δίδοται τὸ πνεῦμα, προσήνεγκεν αὐτοῖς χρήματα

19 λέγων, δότε κἀμοὶ τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην ἵνα ᾧ ἐὰν ἐπιθῶ τὰς χεῖρας λαμβάνῃ πνεῦμα ἅγιον.

20 πέτρος δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, τὸ ἀργύριόν σου σὺν σοὶ εἴη εἰς ἀπώλειαν, ὅτι τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνόμισας διὰ χρημάτων κτᾶσθαι.

21 οὐκ ἔστιν σοι μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος ἐν τῶ λόγῳ τούτῳ, ἡ γὰρ καρδία σου οὐκ ἔστιν εὐθεῖα ἔναντι τοῦ θεοῦ.

22 μετανόησον οὗν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας σου ταύτης, καὶ δεήθητι τοῦ κυρίου εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεταί σοι ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σου·

23 εἰς γὰρ χολὴν πικρίας καὶ σύνδεσμον ἀδικίας ὁρῶ σε ὄντα.

24 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ σίμων εἶπεν, δεήθητε ὑμεῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὅπως μηδὲν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ὧν εἰρήκατε.

25 οἱ μὲν οὗν διαμαρτυράμενοι καὶ λαλήσαντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου ὑπέστρεφον εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα, πολλάς τε κώμας τῶν σαμαριτῶν εὐηγγελίζοντο.

26 ἄγγελος δὲ κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρὸς φίλιππον λέγων, ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου κατὰ μεσημβρίαν ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπὸ ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς γάζαν· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἔρημος.

27 καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ αἰθίοψ εὐνοῦχος δυνάστης κανδάκης βασιλίσσης αἰθιόπων, ὃς ἦν ἐπὶ πάσης τῆς γάζης αὐτῆς, ὃς ἐληλύθει προσκυνήσων εἰς ἰερουσαλήμ,

28 ἦν τε ὑποστρέφων καὶ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνεγίνωσκεν τὸν προφήτην ἠσαΐαν.

29 εἶπεν δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τῶ φιλίππῳ, πρόσελθε καὶ κολλήθητι τῶ ἅρματι τούτῳ.

30 προσδραμὼν δὲ ὁ φίλιππος ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ ἀναγινώσκοντος ἠσαΐαν τὸν προφήτην, καὶ εἶπεν, ἆρά γε γινώσκεις ἃ ἀναγινώσκεις;

31 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, πῶς γὰρ ἂν δυναίμην ἐὰν μή τις ὁδηγήσει με; παρεκάλεσέν τε τὸν φίλιππον ἀναβάντα καθίσαι σὺν αὐτῶ.

32 ἡ δὲ περιοχὴ τῆς γραφῆς ἣν ἀνεγίνωσκεν ἦν αὕτη· ὡς πρόβατον ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἤχθη, καὶ ὡς ἀμνὸς ἐναντίον τοῦ κείραντος αὐτὸν ἄφωνος, οὕτως οὐκ ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.

33 ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει [αὐτοῦ] ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ ἤρθη· τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται; ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ.

34 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ εὐνοῦχος τῶ φιλίππῳ εἶπεν, δέομαί σου, περὶ τίνος ὁ προφήτης λέγει τοῦτο; περὶ ἑαυτοῦ ἢ περὶ ἑτέρου τινός;

35 ἀνοίξας δὲ ὁ φίλιππος τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς γραφῆς ταύτης εὐηγγελίσατο αὐτῶ τὸν ἰησοῦν.

36 ὡς δὲ ἐπορεύοντο κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν, ἦλθον ἐπί τι ὕδωρ, καί φησιν ὁ εὐνοῦχος, ἰδοὺ ὕδωρ· τί κωλύει με βαπτισθῆναι;

37 

38 καὶ ἐκέλευσεν στῆναι τὸ ἅρμα, καὶ κατέβησαν ἀμφότεροι εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ ὅ τε φίλιππος καὶ ὁ εὐνοῦχος, καὶ ἐβάπτισεν αὐτόν.

39 ὅτε δὲ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος, πνεῦμα κυρίου ἥρπασεν τὸν φίλιππον, καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν οὐκέτι ὁ εὐνοῦχος· ἐπορεύετο γὰρ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ χαίρων.

40 φίλιππος δὲ εὑρέθη εἰς ἄζωτον, καὶ διερχόμενος εὐηγγελίζετο τὰς πόλεις πάσας ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς καισάρειαν.

1  And¹¹⁶¹ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ was²²⁵⁸ consenting⁴⁹⁰⁹ unto his⁸⁴⁶ death.³³⁶ And¹¹⁶¹ at¹⁷²² that¹⁵⁶⁵ time²²⁵⁰ there was¹⁰⁹⁶ a great³¹⁷³ persecution¹³⁷⁵ against¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ which³⁵⁸⁸ was at¹⁷²² Jerusalem;²⁴¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ they were all³⁹⁵⁶ scattered abroad¹²⁸⁹ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ regions⁵⁵⁶¹ of Judea²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ except⁴¹³³ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles.⁶⁵²

2  And¹¹⁶¹ devout²¹²⁶ men⁴³⁵ carried⁴⁷⁹² Stephen⁴⁷³⁶ to his burial, and²⁵³² made⁴¹⁶⁰ great³¹⁷³ lamentation²⁸⁷⁰ over¹⁹⁰⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

3  As for¹¹⁶¹ Saul,⁴⁵⁶⁹ he made havoc³⁰⁷⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ entering into¹⁵³¹ every house,^{2596 3624} and⁵⁰³⁷ haling⁴⁹⁵¹ men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women¹¹³⁵ committed³⁸⁶⁰ them to¹⁵¹⁹ prison.⁵⁴³⁸

4  Therefore^{3767 3303} they that were scattered abroad¹²⁸⁹ went every where¹³³⁰ preaching²⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ word.³⁰⁵⁶

5  Then¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ went down²⁷¹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ the city⁴¹⁷² of Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ and preached²⁷⁸⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

6  And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ people³⁷⁹³ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ gave heed⁴³³⁷ unto those things which⁵²⁵⁹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ spake,³⁰⁰⁴ hearing¹⁹¹ and²⁵³² seeing⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ miracles⁴⁵⁹² which³⁷³⁹ he did.⁴¹⁶⁰

7  For¹⁰⁶³ unclean¹⁶⁹ spirits,⁴¹⁵¹ crying⁹⁹⁴ with loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ came out¹⁸³¹ of many⁴¹⁸³ that were possessed²¹⁹² with them: and¹¹⁶¹ many⁴¹⁸³ taken with palsies,³⁸⁸⁶ and²⁵³² that were lame,⁵⁵⁶⁰ were healed.²³²³

8  And²⁵³² there was¹⁰⁹⁶ great³¹⁷³ joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² that¹⁵⁶⁵ city.⁴¹⁷²

9  But¹¹⁶¹ there was a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man,⁴³⁵ called³⁶⁸⁶ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ which beforetime⁴³⁹¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ same city⁴¹⁷² used sorcery,³⁰⁹⁶ and²⁵³² bewitched¹⁸³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people¹⁴⁸⁴ of Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ giving out³⁰⁰⁴ that himself¹⁴³⁸ was¹⁵¹¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ great one:³¹⁷³

10  To whom³⁷³⁹ they all³⁹⁵⁶ gave heed,⁴³³⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ the least³³⁹⁸ to²¹⁹³ the greatest,³¹⁷³ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This man³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ great³¹⁷³ power¹⁴¹¹ of God.²³¹⁶

11  And¹¹⁶¹ to him⁸⁴⁶ they had regard,⁴³³⁷ because that of long²⁴²⁵ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ he had bewitched¹⁸³⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ with sorceries.³⁰⁹⁵

12  But¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ they believed⁴¹⁰⁰ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ preaching²⁰⁹⁷ the things³⁵⁸⁸ concerning⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ they were baptized,⁹⁰⁷ both⁵⁰³⁷ men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women.¹¹³⁵

13  Then¹¹⁶¹ Simon⁴⁶¹³ himself⁸⁴⁶ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ also:²⁵³² and²⁵³² when he was baptized,⁹⁰⁷ he continued^{2258 4342} with Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ wondered,¹⁸³⁹ beholding²³³⁴ the³¹⁷³ miracles¹⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² signs⁴⁵⁹² which were done.¹⁰⁹⁶

14  Now¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² which³⁵⁸⁸ were at¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ Samaria⁴⁵⁴⁰ had received¹²⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God,²³¹⁶ they sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² John:²⁴⁹¹

15  Who,³⁷⁴⁸ when they were come down,²⁵⁹⁷ prayed⁴³³⁶ for⁴⁰¹² them,⁸⁴⁶ that³⁷⁰⁴ they might receive²⁹⁸³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost:⁴¹⁵¹

16  (For¹⁰⁶³ as yet³⁷⁶⁸ he was²²⁵⁸ fallen¹⁹⁶⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ none³⁷⁶² of them:^{846 1161} only³⁴⁴⁰ they were⁵²²⁵ baptized⁹⁰⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus.)²⁴²⁴

17  Then⁵¹¹⁹ laid²⁰⁰⁷ they their hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² they received²⁹⁸³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

18  And¹¹⁶¹ when Simon⁴⁶¹³ saw²³⁰⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ through¹²²³ laying on¹⁹³⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles'⁶⁵² hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ was given,¹³²⁵ he offered⁴³⁷⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ money,⁵⁵³⁶

19  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Give¹³²⁵ me also²⁵⁰⁴ this⁵⁰²⁶ power,¹⁸⁴⁹ that²⁴⁴³ on whomsoever^{3739 302} I lay²⁰⁰⁷ hands,⁵⁴⁹⁵ he may receive²⁹⁸³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

20  But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ money⁶⁹⁴ perish^{1498 1519 684} with⁴⁸⁶² thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ because³⁷⁵⁴ thou hast thought³⁵⁴³ that the³⁵⁸⁸ gift¹⁴³¹ of God²³¹⁶ may be purchased²⁹³² with¹²²³ money.⁵⁵³⁶

21  Thou⁴⁶⁷¹ hast²⁰⁷⁶ neither³⁷⁵⁶ part³³¹⁰ nor³⁷⁶¹ lot²⁸¹⁹ in¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ matter:³⁰⁵⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart²⁵⁸⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ right²¹¹⁷ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God.²³¹⁶

22  Repent³³⁴⁰ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ of⁵⁷⁵ this⁵⁰²⁶ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ wickedness,²⁵⁴⁹ and²⁵³² pray¹¹⁸⁹ God,²³¹⁶ if¹⁴⁸⁷ perhaps⁶⁸⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ thought¹⁹⁶³ of thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart²⁵⁸⁸ may be forgiven⁸⁶³ thee.⁴⁶⁷¹

23  For¹⁰⁶³ I perceive³⁷⁰⁸ that thou⁴⁵⁷¹ art⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ the gall⁵⁵²¹ of bitterness,⁴⁰⁸⁸ and²⁵³² in the bond⁴⁸⁸⁶ of iniquity.⁹³

24  Then¹¹⁶¹ answered⁶¹¹ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ and said,²⁰³⁶ Pray¹¹⁸⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² for⁵²²⁸ me,¹⁷⁰⁰ that³⁷⁰⁴ none³³⁶⁷ of these things which³⁷³⁹ ye have spoken²⁰⁴⁶ come¹⁹⁰⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ me.¹⁶⁹¹

25  And³⁷⁶⁷ they,³⁵⁸⁸ when they^{3303 3767} had testified¹²⁶³ and²⁵³² preached²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² returned⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ and⁵⁰³⁷ preached the gospel²⁰⁹⁷ in many⁴¹⁸³ villages²⁹⁶⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Samaritans.⁴⁵⁴¹

26  And¹¹⁶¹ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Arise,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² go⁴¹⁹⁸ toward²⁵⁹⁶ the south³³¹⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ that goeth down²⁵⁹⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Gaza,¹⁰⁴⁸ which³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ desert.²⁰⁴⁸

27  And²⁵³² he arose⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² went:⁴¹⁹⁸ and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ a man⁴³⁵ of Ethiopia,¹²⁸ an eunuch²¹³⁵ of great authority¹⁴¹³ under Candace²⁵⁸² queen⁹³⁸ of the Ethiopians,¹²⁸ who³⁷³⁹ had the charge^{2258 1909} of all³⁹⁵⁶ her⁸⁴⁸ treasure,¹⁰⁴⁷ and²⁵³² had³⁷³⁹ come²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ for to worship,⁴³⁵²

28  ⁵⁰³⁷ Was²²⁵⁸ returning,⁵²⁹⁰ and²⁵³² sitting²⁵²¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ chariot^{716 2532} read³¹⁴ Isaiah²²⁶⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet.⁴³⁹⁶

29  Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ said²⁰³⁶ unto Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ Go near,⁴³³⁴ and²⁵³² join thyself²⁸⁵³ to this⁵¹²⁹ chariot.⁷¹⁶

30  And¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ ran thither⁴³⁷⁰ to him, and heard¹⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ read³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ Isaiah,²²⁶⁸ and²⁵³² said,^{2036 687 1065} Understandest¹⁰⁹⁷ thou what³⁷³⁹ thou readest?³¹⁴

31  And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,^{2036 1063} How⁴⁴⁵⁹ can^{1410 302} I, except³³⁶² some man⁵¹⁰⁰ should guide³⁵⁹⁴ me?³¹⁶⁵ And⁵⁰³⁷ he desired³⁸⁷⁰ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ that he would come up³⁰⁵ and sit²⁵²³ with⁴⁸⁶² him.⁸⁴⁶

32  ¹¹⁶¹ The³⁵⁸⁸ place⁴⁰⁴² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Scripture¹¹²⁴ which³⁷³⁹ he read³¹⁴ was²²⁵⁸ this,³⁷⁷⁸ He was led⁷¹ as⁵⁶¹³ a sheep⁴²⁶³ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the slaughter;⁴⁹⁶⁷ and²⁵³² like⁵⁶¹³ a lamb²⁸⁶ dumb⁸⁸⁰ before¹⁷²⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ shearer,²⁷⁵¹ so³⁷⁷⁹ opened⁴⁵⁵ he not³⁷⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ mouth:⁴⁷⁵⁰

33  In¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁶ humiliation⁵⁰¹⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ judgment²⁹²⁰ was taken away:¹⁴² and¹¹⁶¹ who⁵¹⁰¹ shall declare¹³³⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ generation?¹⁰⁷⁴ for³⁷⁵⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ life²²²² is taken¹⁴² from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

34  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch²¹³⁵ answered⁶¹¹ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶ I pray¹¹⁸⁹ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ of⁴⁰¹² whom⁵¹⁰¹ speaketh³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ this?⁵¹²⁴ of⁴⁰¹² himself,¹⁴³⁸ or²²²⁸ of⁴⁰¹² some other man?^{5101 2087}

35  Then¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ opened⁴⁵⁵ his⁸⁴⁸ mouth,⁴⁷⁵⁰ and²⁵³² began⁷⁵⁶ at⁵⁷⁵ the same⁵⁰²⁶ Scripture,¹¹²⁴ and preached²⁰⁹⁷ unto him⁸⁴⁶ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

36  And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ they went⁴¹⁹⁸ on²⁵⁹⁶ their way,³⁵⁹⁸ they came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ water:⁵²⁰⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch²¹³⁵ said,⁵³⁴⁶ See,²⁴⁰⁰ here is water;⁵²⁰⁴ what⁵¹⁰¹ doth hinder²⁹⁶⁷ me³¹⁶⁵ to be baptized?⁹⁰⁷

37  And¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ said,²⁰³⁶ If¹⁴⁸⁷ thou believest⁴¹⁰⁰ with¹⁵³⁷ all³⁶⁵⁰ thine heart,²⁵⁸⁸ thou mayest.¹⁸³² And¹¹⁶¹ he answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ I believe⁴¹⁰⁰ that Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is¹⁵¹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

38  And²⁵³² he commanded²⁷⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ chariot⁷¹⁶ to stand still:²⁴⁷⁶ and²⁵³² they went down²⁵⁹⁷ both²⁹⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ water,⁵²⁰⁴ both⁵⁰³⁷ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch;²¹³⁵ and²⁵³² he baptized⁹⁰⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

39  And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ they were come up³⁰⁵ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ water,⁵²⁰⁴ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of the Lord²⁹⁶² caught away⁷²⁶ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ that²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch^{2135 3756} saw¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ no more:³⁷⁶⁵ and¹⁰⁶³ he went⁴¹⁹⁸ on his⁸⁴⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ rejoicing.⁵⁴⁶³

40  But¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ was found²¹⁴⁷ at¹⁵¹⁹ Azotus:¹⁰⁸ and²⁵³² passing through¹³³⁰ he preached²⁰⁹⁷ in all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ cities,⁴¹⁷² till²¹⁹³ he⁸⁴⁶ came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea.²⁵⁴²

Vul

1 Facta est autem in illa die persecutio magna in ecclesia quæ erat Jerosolymis, et omnes dispersi sunt per regiones Judææ et Samariæ præter Apostolos.

2 Curaverunt autem Stephanum viri timorati, et fecerunt planctum magnum super eum.

3 Saulus autem devastabat ecclesiam per domos intrans, et trahens viros ac mulieres, tradebat in custodiam.

4 Igitur qui dispersi erant pertransibant, evangelizantes verbum Dei.

5 Philippus autem descendens in civitatem Samariæ, prædicabant illis Christum.

6 Intendebant autem turbæ his quæ a Philippo dicebantur, unanimiter audientes, et videntes signa quæ faciebat.

7 Multi enim eorum qui habebant spiritus immundos, clamantes voce magna exibant. Multi autem paralytici et claudi curati sunt.

8 Factum est ergo gaudium magnum in illa civitate.

9 Vir autem quidam nomine Simon, qui ante fuerat in civitate magnus, seducens gentem Samariæ, dicens se esse aliquem magnum:

10 cui auscultabant omnes a minimo usque ad maximum, dicentes: Hic est virtus Dei, quæ vocatur magna.

11 Attendebant autem eum: propter quod multo tempore magiis suis dementasset eos.

12 Cum vero credidissent Philippo evangelizanti de regno Dei, in nomine Jesu Christi baptizabantur viri ac mulieres.

13 Tunc Simon et ipse credidit: et cum baptizatus esset, adhærebat Philippo. Videns etiam signa et virtutes maximas fieri, stupens admirabatur.

14 Cum autem audissent Apostoli qui erant Jerosolymis, quod recepisset Samaria verbum Dei, miserunt ad eos Petrum et Joannem.

15 Qui cum venissent, oraverunt pro ipsis ut acciperent Spiritum Sanctum:

16 nondum enim in quemquam illorum venerat, sed baptizati tantum erant in nomine Domini Jesu.

17 Tunc imponebant manus super illos, et accipiebant Spiritum Sanctum.

18 Cum vidisset autem Simon quia per impositionem manus Apostolorum daretur Spiritus Sanctus, obtulit eis pecuniam,

19 dicens: Date et mihi hanc potestatem, ut cuicumque imposuero manus, accipiat Spiritum Sanctum. Petrus autem dixit ad eum:

20 Pecunia tua tecum sit in perditionem: quoniam donum Dei existimasti pecunia possideri.

21 Non est tibi pars neque sors in sermone isto: cor enim tuum non est rectum coram Deo.

22 Pœnitentiam itaque age ab hac nequitia tua: et roga Deum, si forte remittatur tibi hæc cogitatio cordis tui.

23 In felle enim amaritudinis, et obligatione iniquitatis, video te esse.

24 Respondens autem Simon, dixit: Precamini vos pro me ad Dominum, ut nihil veniat super me horum quæ dixistis.

25 Et illi quidem testificati, et locuti verbum Domini, redibant Jerosolymam, et multis regionibus Samaritanorum evangelizabant.

26 Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Philippum, dicens: Surge, et vade contra meridianum, ad viam quæ descendit ab Jerusalem in Gazam: hæc est deserta.

27 Et surgens abiit. Et ecce vir Æthiops, eunuchus, potens Candacis reginæ Æthiopum, qui erat super omnes gazas ejus, venerat adorare in Jerusalem:

28 et revertebatur sedens super currum suum, legensque Isaiam prophetam.

29 Dixit autem Spiritus Philippo: Accede, et adjunge te ad currum istum.

30 Accurrens autem Philippus, audivit eum legentem Isaiam prophetam, et dixit: Putasne intelligis quæ legis?

31 Qui ait: Et quomodo possum, si non aliquis ostenderit mihi? Rogavitque Philippum ut ascenderet, et sederet secum.

32 Locus autem Scripturæ quem legebat, erat hic: [Tamquam ovis ad occisionem ductus est:
et sicut agnus coram tondente se, sine voce,
sic non aperuit os suum.

33 In humilitate judicium ejus sublatum est.
Generationem ejus quis enarrabit?
quoniam tolletur de terra vita ejus.]

34 Respondens autem eunuchus Philippo, dixit: Obsecro te, de quo propheta dicit hoc? de se, an de alio aliquo?

35 Aperiens autem Philippus os suum, et incipiens a Scriptura ista, evangelizavit illi Jesum.

36 Et dum irent per viam, venerunt ad quamdam aquam: et ait eunuchus: Ecce aqua: quid prohibet me baptizari?

37 Dixit autem Philippus: Si credis ex toto corde, licet. Et respondens ait: Credo Filium Dei esse Jesum Christum.

38 Et jussit stare currum: et descenderunt uterque in aquam, Philippus et eunuchus, et baptizavit eum.

39 Cum autem ascendissent de aqua, Spiritus Domini rapuit Philippum, et amplius non vidit eum eunuchus. Ibat autem per viam suam gaudens.

40 Philippus autem inventus est in Azoto, et pertransiens evangelizabat civitatibus cunctis, donec veniret Cæsaream.
