DAY 8
AC-7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers
persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the
coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers
and
murderers:
AC-7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels,
and
have not kept [it].
AC-7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the
heart,
and they gnashed on him with [their] teeth.
AC-7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up
stedfastly
into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the
right hand of God,
AC-7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son
of
man standing on the right hand of God.
AC-7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their
ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
AC-7:58 And cast [him] out of the city, and stoned [him]: and
the
witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose
name
was Saul.
AC-7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God], and saying,
Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
AC-7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord,
lay
not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell
asleep.
*AC-8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time
there was a great persecution against the church which was at
Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the
regions
of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
AC-8:2 And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial], and made
great lamentation over him.
AC-8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into
every house, and haling men and women committed [them] to prison.
AC-8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every
where
preaching the word.
AC-8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and
preached
Christ unto them.
AC-8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those
things
which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
AC-8:7 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.
AC-8:8 And there was great joy in that city.
AC-8:9 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:
AC-8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the
greatest,
saying, This man is the great power of God.
AC-8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he
had bewitched them with sorceries.
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that
Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter
and
John:
AC-8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that
they
might receive the Holy Ghost:
AC-8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they
were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
AC-8:17 Then laid they [their] hands on them, and they received
the
Holy Ghost.
AC-8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the
apostles'
hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
AC-8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I
lay
hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
AC-8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased
with
money.
AC-8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy
heart is not right in the sight of God.
AC-8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God,
if
perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
AC-8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness,
and
[in] the bond of iniquity.
AC-8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for
me,
