Acts 8:8-12

So there was much rejoicing in that city.

Now a man named Simon had previously been practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great;

and all the people, from small to great, were paying attention to him, saying, “This man is the Power of God that is called Great.”

And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had astounded them with his magic arts.

But when they believed Philip as he was preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were being baptized.
