Acts of the Apostles 8:9

In context

7For unclean spirits came out of many who had them, shrieking at the top of their voices, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8And there was great joy in that city. 9Now a man named Simon had been in the city for some time practicing magic and astounding the people of Samaria, claiming that he was somebody great. 10Everyone, from the least to the greatest, paid attention to him. “This man is the power of God that is called Great,” they said. 11They paid attention to him because for a long time he had astounded them with his magic.
