Acts 8
1 And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
ⲁ̅ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲩⲛⲉⲩⲇⲟⲕⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲃ̅· ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅. ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲛⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϣⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲁⲩϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
2 God-fearing men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.

3 But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
ⲅ̅ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲉϥⲃⲏⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲏⲓ̈ ⲉϥⲥⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ.
4 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.

5 Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.
ⲉ̅ⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲕⲏⲣⲩⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
6 The crowds gave their undivided attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.
ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲩϯ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲩ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
7 With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed.
ⲍ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲏϭ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϭⲁⲗⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲟⲩ.
8 So there was great joy in that city.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
9 Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,
ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲉϥⲣ̅ϩⲓⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲡⲱϣⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ.
10 and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϯ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲡⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ. ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲉϥⲡⲱϣⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲅⲟⲥ.
12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ.
13 Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ. ⲛⲉϥⲡⲣⲟⲥⲕⲁⲣⲧⲉⲣⲓ ⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ. ⲉϥ(ⲛⲁⲩ) ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲡⲱϣⲥ̅.
14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
15 On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲩϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
16 For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧϥ̅ⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
17 Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗⲉϭⲓϫ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲭⲣⲏⲙⲁ
19 “Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲗⲉϭⲓϫ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
20 But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲁⲧ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲭⲣⲏⲙⲁ.
21 You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

22 Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.

23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”

24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲓ̈.
25 And after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the Samaritan villages.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅. ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ·
26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south to the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ. ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲣⲉ. ϩⲓⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲅⲁⲍⲁ.
27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉϭⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲟⲩⲣ ⲛ̅ⲇⲩⲛⲁⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲕⲏ ⲧⲣ̅ⲣⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϭⲟⲟϣ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲭⲣⲏⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲉⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅.
28 and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.

29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that chariot and stay by it.”

30 So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.

31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32 The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

33 In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”

34 “Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲥⲓⲟⲩⲣ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ. ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ϫⲛ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ.
35 Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

36 As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”

38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
