were done.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/8-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they

on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/8-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>But Peter said to him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/8-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>You have neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is not right in the sight of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/8-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. <span

And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/8-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/8-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/8-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">The American King James Version is Produced by Stone Engelbrite.
