Acts 8

Philip’s ministry

5 Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria,*Perhaps 2% of the Greek manuscripts, of objectively inferior quality, have ‘the city’, instead of "a city", to be followed by most versions, including AV and NKJV. was proclaiming the Christ to them; 6 and the crowds gave heed with one accord to what Philip was saying, as they heard the words and saw the signs that he kept performing.*He did not just talk, he demonstrated God’s power. So how about us—do we just talk? 7 Because unclean spirits came out screaming from many who had them, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 Yes, there was great joy in that city!*Not bad, for a deacon.
