## Acts 8:4-8 in Context (Verses 1–11 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/acts/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 Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/acts/8/2) And devout men carried Stephen *to his burial*, and made great lamentation over him.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/acts/8/3) As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed *them* to prison.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/acts/8/4) Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/acts/8/5) Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/acts/8/6) And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/acts/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.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/acts/8/8) And there was great joy in that city.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/acts/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:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/acts/8/10) To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/acts/8/11) And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
