Reading I
Acts 8:5-8, 14-17
And Philip, going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.
For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
Now, when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
Who, when they were come, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
For he was not as yet come upon any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid their hands upon them: and they received the Holy Ghost.
