8 And Saulos was consenting to _the killing of _him.
And a_ great _persecution became on that the day, against the assembly, which was in Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim).
And all were _dispersed throughout the regions of_ the _Youdaia and Samareia/(Shomərōn), except the ambassadors.
2 And devout men buried the Stefanos, and they _made great lamentation over him.
3 But Saulos was _ravaging the assembly, by entering _in the houses, dragging both men and women, he _was _giving _over them to prison.
4 The ones therefore on _one _hand having _been _dispersed, passed _through good _message _preaching the message.
5 On _the _other _hand Filippos having _come _down to the a_city the of _Samareia, was _proclaiming the chosen _one /messiah to _them.
6 and the crowds /Were /_taking _heed to _the things being _spoken by the Filippos with _one _accord, in the time to _be _hearing them and to _be _seeing the signs that he _was _doing.
7 For/Because many of _the ones having unclean spirits, shouting with_a_ loud _voice, they _were _coming _out, and many having _been _paralyzed and lame were _healed.
8 and great joy became in the that city.
9 And a_man certain by_the_name Simōn, was _previously _starting in the city practicing _magic, and amazing the people of_ the _Samareia, saying himself to _be someone great.
10 To _whom all from small to great were _giving _heed saying:
This is the Power of_ the _god, which being _called great.
11 And they _were _giving _heed to _him, because _of that to _have _amazed them with _the magic for _much time.
12 But when they _believed the in _Filippos, good _message _preaching concerning the kingdom the of_god and the name of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, they _were _being _immersed both men and women.
13 And the Simōn himself also believed, and having _been _immersed, was continuing the with _Filippos, observing both signs and great miracles becoming, he _was _marvelling.
14 And the ambassadors in Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim) having _heard that the Samareia/(Shomərōn) has _received the message of_ the _god, they _sent _out Petros and Yōannaʸs to them, 15 who having _come _down, they _prayed for them, so _that they _may _receive the_ holy _spirit.
16 For/Because it _was not _yet having _fallen _on on no _one of _them, but they _were_ only _being having _been _immersed into the name of _the master Yaʸsous.
17 Then they _were _laying _on their hands on them, and they _were _receiving the_ holy _spirit.
18 And the Simōn having _seen that the spirit is _being _given by the laying _on of _the hands of _the ambassadors, he _offered money to _them 19 saying:
Give to _also _me the this authority, in _order _that on _whom if I _may _lay _on my hands, he _may _be _receiving the_ holy _spirit.
20 But Petros said to him:
The silver of _you, it _might _be to destruction with you, because you _thought to _be _acquiring the gift of_ the _god by money.
21 There _is no portion nor allotment to _you in the this matter.
For/Because the heart of _you not is right before the god.
22 Therefore repent of the this evil of _you, and be _besought of _the master if perhaps the intention of _the heart of _you will _be _being _forgiven to _you.
23 For/Because I _am _seeing you being in the_gall of _bitterness and the_bond of _unrighteousness.
24 But the Simōn answering said:
You _all Be _besought for me to the master, so _that nothing of _which you _all _have _spoken may _come _over on me.
25 Therefore they indeed, having _testified and having _spoken the message of _the master, were _returning to Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), and they _were _evangelizing many villages of _the Samareitaʸs/(Shomərōn).
26 But an_messenger of_the_master spoke to Filippos saying:
Rise _up and be _going to the_south, to the road which coming _down from Hierousalaʸm to Gaza/(ˊAzzāh), this is the_wilderness road.
27 And having _risen _up, he _was _gone, and see, a_man, an_Aithiops/(Ⱪūshiy) eunuch, official of _Kandakaʸ queen of_the_Aithiopss, who was over all the treasure of _her, who had _come going _to _prostrate in Hierousalaʸm, 28 and he _was returning and sitting in the chariot of _him, and was _reading the prophet Aʸsaias/(Yəshaˊə^yāh).
29 And the spirit said to_ the _Filippos:
Approach and be _joined _together to_ the this _chariot.
30 And the Filippos having _run _up, heard of _him reading Aʸsaias the prophet, and said:
Then surely you _are _knowing what you _are _reading?
31 And he said:
For/Because how wishfully I _might _be _able if not someone will _be _guiding me?
And he _appealed the to _Filippos having _gone _up to _sit _down with him.
32 And the passage of_ the _scripture which he _was _reading was this:
he _was _led As a_sheep to the_slaughter, and silent as a_lamb before the one having _shaved him, thus he _is_ not _opening _up the mouth of _him.
33 In the humiliation, the justice of _him was _taken _away, who will _be _describing the generation of _him?
Because the life of _him is _being _taken _away from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answering to_ the _Filippos said:
I _am _beseeching of _you concerning whom the prophet is _saying this?
Concerning himself or concerning someone other?
35 And the Filippos having _opened _up the mouth of _him, and having _begun from the this scripture, he _good _message _preached the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) to _him.
36 And as they _were _going along the road, they _came to some water, and the eunuch is _saying:
Behold, water, what is _forbidding me to _be _immersed?
37  38 And he _commanded the chariot to _stop, and they_ both _came _down, to the water, the both Filippos and the eunuch, and he _immersed him.
39 But when they _went _up out _of the water, the_spirit of_the_master snatched the Filippos, and the eunuch not saw him no _longer, because/for he _was _going the way of _him rejoicing.
40 But Filippos was _found at Azōtos/(ʼAshəddōd), and passing _through he _was _good _message _preaching to_ all _the cities, until the time him to _come to Kaisareia.
