44:008:002 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

44:008:003 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

44:008:004 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

44:008:005 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

44:008:006 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

44:008:007 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

44:008:008 And there was great joy in that city.

44:008:009 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:

44:008:010 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

44:008:011 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
