Coptic New Testament
1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.

3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.

4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.

5Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.

6The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.

7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.

9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,

11They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.

12But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

13Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.

14Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

16for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.

17Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,

20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.

26Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”

32Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.

39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
