Philip Proclaims Christ in Samaria

Acts 8

⁴ Now _g those who were scattered went about preaching the word. ⁵ _h Philip went down to the city ₁ of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. ⁶ _i And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip when they heard him _j and saw the signs that he did. ⁷ For _k unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. ⁸ So _l there was much joy in that city.
