1And 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 Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.7For 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.8And there was great joy in that city.9But 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:10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.25And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.26And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

إضّطهاد الكنيسة في أورُشليم

1وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ رَاضِياً بِقَتْلِهِ. وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ اضْطِهَادٌ عَظِيمٌ عَلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فَتَشَتَّتَ الْجَمِيعُ فِي كُوَرِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالسَّامِرَةِ مَا عَدَا الرُّسُلَ.2وَحَمَلَ رِجَالٌ أَتْقِيَاءُ اسْتِفَانُوسَ وَعَمِلُوا عَلَيْهِ مَنَاحَةً عَظِيمَةً.3وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يَسْطُو عَلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ، وَهُوَ يَدْخُلُ الْبُيُوتَ وَيَجُرُّ رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً وَيُسَلِّمُهُمْ إِلَى السِّجْنِ.

فيلبس يكرز بالمسيح في السّامرة

4فَالَّذِينَ تَشَتَّتُوا جَالُوا مُبَشِّرِينَ بِالْكَلِمَةِ.5فَانْحَدَرَ فِيلُبُّسُ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مِنَ السَّامِرَةِ وَكَانَ يَكْرِزُ لَهُمْ بِالمَسِيحِ.6وَكَانَ الْجُمُوعُ يُصْغُونَ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى مَا يَقُولُهُ فِيلُبُّسُ عِنْدَ اسْتِمَاعِهِمْ وَنَظَرِهِمُ الآيَاتِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا.7لأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ بِهِمْ أَرْوَاحٌ نَجِسَةٌ كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ صَارِخَةً بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ المَفْلُوجِينَ وَالْعُرْجِ شُفُوا.8فَكَانَ فَرَحٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي تِلْكَ المَدِينَةِ.

9وَكَانَ قَبْلاً فِي المَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ، اسْمُهُ سِيمُونُ، يَسْتَعْمِلُ السِّحْرَ وَيُدْهِشُ شَعْبَ السَّامِرَةِ قَائِلاً، إِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ عَظِيمٌ.10وَكَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَتْبَعُونَهُ مِنَ الصَّغِيرِ إِلَى الْكَبِيرِ قَائِلِينَ: هَذَا هُوَ قُوَّةُ اللهِ الْعَظِيمَةُ.11وَكَانُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ لِكَوْنِهِمْ قَدِ انْدَهَشُوا زَمَاناً طَوِيلاً بِسِحْرِهِ.12وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا صَدَّقُوا فِيلُبُّسَ وَهُوَ يُبَشِّرُ بِالأُمُورِ المُخْتَصَّةِ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَبِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ اعْتَمَدُوا رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً.13وَسِيمُونُ أَيْضاً نَفْسُهُ آمَنَ، وَلَمَّا اعْتَمَدَ كَانَ يُلاَزِمُ فِيلُبُّسَ، وَإِذْ رَأَى آيَاتٍ وَقُوَّاتٍ عَظِيمَةً تُجْرَى انْدَهَشَ.

الرّسولان بطرس ويوحنّا في السامرة

14وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الرُّسُلُ الَّذِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ السَّامِرَةَ قَدْ قَبِلَتْ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِمْ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا،15اللَّذَيْنِ لَمَّا نَزَلاَ صَلَّيَا لأَجْلِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَقْبَلُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ.16لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ حَلَّ بَعْدُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُعْتَمِدِينَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.17حِينَئِذٍ وَضَعَا الأَيَادِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَبِلُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ.18وَلَمَّا رَأَى سِيمُونُ أَنَّهُ بِوَضْعِ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ يُعْطَى الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ قَدَّمَ لَهُمَا دَرَاهِمَ19قَائِلاً: أَعْطِيَانِي أَنَا أَيْضاً هَذَا السُّلْطَانَ حَتَّى أَيُّ مَنْ وَضَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ يَدَيَّ يَقْبَلُ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ.20فَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: لِتَكُنْ فِضَّتُكَ مَعَكَ لِلْهَلاَكِ لأَنَّكَ ظَنَنْتَ أَنْ تَقْتَنِيَ مَوْهِبَةَ اللهِ بِدَرَاهِمَ.21لَيْسَ لَكَ نَصِيبٌ وَلاَ قُرْعَةٌ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ، لأَنَّ قَلْبَكَ لَيْسَ مُسْتَقِيماً أَمَامَ اللهِ.22فَتُبْ مِنْ شَرِّكَ هَذَا وَاطْلُبْ إِلَى اللهِ عَسَى أَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَكَ فِكْرُ قَلْبِكَ.23لأَنِّي أَرَاكَ فِي مَرَارَةِ المُرِّ وَرِبَاطِ الظُّلْمِ.24فَأَجَابَ سِيمُونُ وَقَالَ: اطْلُبَا أَنْتُمَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِي لِكَيْ لاَ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا ذَكَرْتُمَا.25ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمَا بَعْدَ مَا شَهِدَا وَتَكَلَّمَا بِكَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ، رَجَعَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبَشَّرَا قُرىً كَثِيرَةً لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ.

فيلبس يُعمّد الرّجل الحبشي

26ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَلاَكَ الرَّبِّ كَلَّمَ فِيلُبُّسَ قَائِلاً: قُمْ وَاذْهَبْ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ المُنْحَدِرَةِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ الَّتِي هِيَ بَرِّيَّةٌ.27فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ، وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَبَشِيٌّ خَصِيٌّ وَزِيرٌ لِكَنْدَاكَةَ، مَلِكَةِ الْحَبَشَةِ، كَانَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَزَائِنِهَا فَهَذَا كَانَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَسْجُدَ.28وَكَانَ رَاجِعاً وَجَالِساً عَلَى مَرْكَبَتِهِ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ النَّبِيَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ.29فَقَالَ الرُّوحُ لِفِيلُبُّسَ: تَقَدَّمْ وَرَافِقْ هَذِهِ المَرْكَبَةَ.30فَبَادَرَ إِلَيْهِ فِيلُبُّسُ وَسَمِعَهُ يَقْرَأُ النَّبِيَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ فَقَالَ: أَلَعَلَّكَ تَفْهَمُ مَا أَنْتَ تَقْرَأُ؟31فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُنِي إِنْ لَمْ يُرْشِدْنِي أَحَدٌ؟ وَطَلَبَ إِلَى فِيلُبُّسَ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ وَيَجْلِسَ مَعَهُ.32وَأَمَّا فَصْلُ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقْرَأُهُ فَكَانَ هَذَا: "مِثْلَ شَاةٍ سِيقَ إِلَى الذَّبْحِ وَمِثْلَ خَرُوفٍ صَامِتٍ أَمَامَ الَّذِي يَجُزُّهُ هَكَذَا لَمْ يَفْتَحْ فَاهُ،33فِي تَوَاضُعِهِ انْتَزَعَ قَضَاؤُهُ، وَجِيلُهُ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِهِ؟ لأَنَّ حَيَاتَهُ تُنْتَزَعُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ".34فَأَجَابَ الْخَصِيُّ فِيلُبُّسَ وَقَالَ: أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ، عَنْ مَنْ يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّ هَذَا؟ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ أَمْ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ آخَرَ؟35فَفَتَحَ فِيلُبُّسُ فَاهُ وَابْتَدَأَ مِنْ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ فَبَشِّرَهُ بِيَسُوعَ.

36وَفِيمَا هُمَا سَائِرَانِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ أَقْبَلاَ عَلَى مَاءٍ، فَقَالَ الْخَصِيُّ: هُوَذَا مَاءٌ، مَاذَا يَمْنَعُ أَنْ أَعْتَمِدَ؟37فَقَالَ فِيلُبُّسُ: إِنْ كُنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ يَجُوزُ. فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ: أَنَا أُومِنُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ.38فَأَمَرَ أَنْ تَقِفَ المَرْكَبَةُ، فَنَزَلاَ كِلاَهُمَا إِلَى المَاءِ، فِيلُبُّسُ وَالْخَصِيُّ، فَعَمَّدَهُ.39وَلَمَّا صَعِدَا مِنَ المَاءِ خَطَفَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ فِيلُبُّسَ فَلَمْ يُبْصِرْهُ الْخَصِيُّ أَيْضاً، وَذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ فَرِحاً.40وَأَمَّا فِيلُبُّسُ فَوُجِدَ فِي أَشْدُودَ، وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُجْتَازٌ كَانَ يُبَشِّرُ جَمِيعَ المُدُنِ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ.
