1 Са́ѵлъ же бѣ̀ соизволѧ́ѧ ᲂу҆бі́йствꙋ є҆гѡ̀. Бы́сть же въ то́й де́нь гоне́нїе ве́лїе на цр҃ковь і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскꙋю: вси́ же разсѣ́ѧшасѧ по страна́мъ і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ и҆ самарі̑йскимъ, кромѣ̀ а҆пⷭ҇лъ: 2 погребо́ша же стефа́на мꙋ́жїе благоговѣ́йнїи и҆ сотвори́ша пла́чь ве́лїй над̾ ни́мъ. 3 Са́ѵлъ же ѡ҆ѕлоблѧ́ше цр҃ковь, въ до́мы входѧ̀, и҆ влачѧ̀ мꙋ́жы и҆ жєны̀, предаѧ́ше въ темни́цꙋ. 4 Разсѣ́ѧвшїисѧ же прохожда́хꙋ, благовѣствꙋ́юще сло́во. 5 Фїлі́ппъ же соше́дъ во гра́дъ самарі́йскїй, проповѣ́даше и҆̀мъ хрⷭ҇та̀: 6 внима́хꙋ же наро́ди глаго́лємымъ ѿ фїлі́ппа є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ, слы́шаще и҆ ви́дѧще зна́мєнїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же творѧ́ше: 7 дꙋ́си бо нечи́стїи ѿ мно́гихъ и҆мꙋ́щихъ ѧ҆̀, вопїю́ще гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ, и҆схожда́хꙋ, мно́зи же разсла́бленнїи и҆ хро́мїи и҆сцѣли́шасѧ: 8 и҆ бы́сть ра́дость ве́лїѧ во гра́дѣ то́мъ. 9 Мꙋ́жъ же нѣ́кїй, и҆́менемъ сі́мѡнъ, пре́жде бѣ̀ во гра́дѣ волхвꙋ́ѧ и҆ ᲂу҆дивлѧ́ѧ ꙗ҆зы́къ самарі́йскїй, глаго́лѧ нѣ́коего бы́ти себѐ вели́ка, 10 є҆мꙋ́же внима́хꙋ всѝ ѿ ма́ла да́же до вели́ка, глаго́люще: се́й є҆́сть си́ла бж҃їѧ вели́каѧ. 11 Внима́хꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀, занѐ дово́льно вре́мѧ волхвова̑нїи ᲂу҆дивлѧ́ше и҆̀хъ. 12 Є҆гда́ же вѣ́роваша фїлі́ппꙋ благовѣствꙋ́ющꙋ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи и҆ ѡ҆ и҆́мени і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вѣ, креща́хꙋсѧ мꙋ́жїе же и҆ жєны̀. 13 Сі́мѡнъ же и҆ са́мъ вѣ́рова и҆ кре́щьсѧ бѣ̀ пребыва́ѧ ᲂу҆ фїлі́ппа: ви́дѧ же си̑лы и҆ зна́мєнїѧ вє́лїѧ быва́єма, ᲂу҆жа́сенъ дивлѧ́шесѧ. 14 Слы́шавше же и҆̀же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ а҆пⷭ҇ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїѧ́тъ самарі́а сло́во бж҃їе, посла́ша къ ни̑мъ петра̀ и҆ і҆ѡа́нна, 15 и҆̀же соше́дше помоли́шасѧ ѡ҆ ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да прїи́мꙋтъ дх҃а ст҃а́го: 16 є҆ще́ бо ни на є҆ди́наго и҆́хъ бѣ̀ прише́лъ, то́чїю креще́ни бѧ́хꙋ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са: 17 тогда̀ возложи́ша рꙋ́цѣ на нѧ̀, и҆ прїѧ́ша дх҃а ст҃а́го. 18 Ви́дѣвъ же сі́мѡнъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возложе́нїемъ рꙋ́къ а҆пⷭ҇льскихъ дае́тсѧ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й, принесѐ и҆̀мъ сребро̀, 19 глаго́лѧ: дади́те и҆ мнѣ̀ вла́сть сїю̀, да, на него́же а҆́ще положꙋ̀ рꙋ́цѣ, прїи́метъ дх҃а ст҃а́го. 20 Пе́тръ же речѐ къ немꙋ̀: сребро̀ твоѐ съ тобо́ю да бꙋ́детъ въ поги́бель, ꙗ҆́кѡ да́ръ бж҃їй непщева́лъ є҆сѝ сребро́мъ стѧжа́ти: 21 нѣ́сть тѝ ча́сти ни жре́бїѧ въ словесѝ се́мъ, и҆́бо се́рдце твоѐ нѣ́сть пра́во пред̾ бг҃омъ: 22 пока́йсѧ ᲂу҆̀бо ѡ҆ ѕло́бѣ твое́й се́й и҆ моли́сѧ бг҃ꙋ, а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ ѿпꙋ́ститсѧ тѝ помышле́нїе се́рдца твоегѡ̀: 23 въ же́лчи бо го́рести и҆ сою́зѣ непра́вды зрю̀ тѧ̀ сꙋ́ща. 24 Ѿвѣща́въ же сі́мѡнъ речѐ: помоли́тесѧ вы̀ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ничто́же си́хъ на́йдетъ на мѧ̀, ꙗ҆̀же реко́сте. 25 Ѻ҆ни́ же ᲂу҆̀бо, засвидѣ́тельствовавше и҆ глаго́лавше сло́во гдⷭ҇не, возврати́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ и҆ мнѡ́гимъ ве́семъ самарі̑йскимъ благовѣсти́ша. 26 А҆́гг҃лъ же гдⷭ҇ень речѐ къ фїлі́ппꙋ, глаго́лѧ: воста́ни и҆ и҆дѝ на полꙋ́дне, на пꙋ́ть сходѧ́щїй ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма въ га́зꙋ: и҆ то́й є҆́сть пꙋ́стъ. 27 И҆ воста́въ по́йде: и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жъ мꙋ́ринъ, є҆ѵнꙋ́хъ си́ленъ кандакі́и цари́цы мꙋ́ринскїѧ, и҆́же бѣ̀ над̾ всѣ́ми сокрѡ́вищи є҆ѧ̀, и҆́же прїи́де поклони́тисѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ: 28 бѣ́ же возвраща́ѧсѧ, и҆ сѣдѧ̀ на колесни́цѣ свое́й, чтѧ́ше прⷪ҇ро́ка и҆са́їю. 29 Рече́ же дх҃ъ къ фїлі́ппꙋ: пристꙋпѝ и҆ прилѣпи́сѧ колесни́цѣ се́й. 30 Прите́къ же фїлі́ппъ ᲂу҆слы́ша є҆го̀ чтꙋ́ща прⷪ҇ро́ка и҆са́їю и҆ речѐ: ᲂу҆́бѡ разꙋмѣ́еши ли, ꙗ҆́же чте́ши; 31 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: ка́кѡ ᲂу҆́бѡ могꙋ̀ (разꙋмѣ́ти), а҆́ще не кто̀ наста́витъ мѧ̀; ᲂу҆моли́ же фїлі́ппа, да возше́дъ сѧ́детъ съ ни́мъ. 32 Сло́во же писа́нїѧ, є҆́же чтѧ́ше, бѣ̀ сїѐ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆вча̀ на заколе́нїе веде́сѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнецъ прѧ́мѡ стригꙋ́щемꙋ є҆го̀ безгла́сенъ, та́кѡ не ѿверза́етъ ᲂу҆́стъ свои́хъ: 33 во смире́нїи є҆гѡ̀ сꙋ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ взѧ́тсѧ, ро́дъ же є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ и҆сповѣ́сть; ꙗ҆́кѡ взе́млетсѧ ѿ землѝ живо́тъ є҆гѡ̀. 34 Ѿвѣща́въ же ка́женикъ къ фїлі́ппꙋ, речѐ: молю́ тѧ, ѡ҆ ко́мъ прⷪ҇ро́къ глаго́летъ сїѐ; ѡ҆ себѣ́ ли, и҆лѝ ѡ҆ и҆нѣ́мъ нѣ́коемъ; 35 Ѿве́рзъ же фїлі́ппъ ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑ и҆ наче́нъ ѿ писа́нїѧ сегѡ̀, благовѣстѝ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃са. 36◆ Ꙗ҆́коже и҆дѧ́хꙋ пꙋте́мъ, прїидо́ша на нѣ́кꙋю во́дꙋ, и҆ речѐ ка́женикъ: сѐ, вода̀: что̀ возбранѧ́етъ мѝ крести́тисѧ; 37◆ Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ фїлі́ппъ: а҆́ще вѣ́рꙋеши ѿ всегѡ̀ се́рдца твоегѡ̀, мо́щно тѝ є҆́сть. Ѿвѣща́въ же речѐ: вѣ́рꙋю сн҃а бж҃їѧ бы́ти і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀. 38◆ И҆ повелѣ̀ ста́ти колесни́цѣ: и҆ снидо́ста ѻ҆́ба на во́дꙋ, фїлі́ппъ же и҆ ка́женикъ: и҆ крестѝ є҆го̀. 39 Є҆гда́ же и҆зыдо́ста ѿ воды̀, дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й нападѐ на ка́женика: а҆́гг҃лъ же гдⷭ҇ень восхи́ти фїлі́ппа, и҆ не ви́дѣ є҆гѡ̀ ктомꙋ̀ ка́женикъ, и҆дѧ́ше бо въ пꙋ́ть сво́й ра́дꙋѧсѧ. 40 Фїлі́ппъ же ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ во а҆зѡ́тѣ и҆ проходѧ̀ благовѣствова́ше градѡ́мъ всѣ̑мъ, до́ндеже прїитѝ є҆мꙋ̀ въ кесарі́ю.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 8:26 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XIX)

    It seems to me, this (Philip) was one of the seven; for from Jerusalem he would not have gone southwards, but to the north; but from Samaria it was "towards the south. The same is desert:" so that there is no fear of an attack from the Jews. And he did not ask, Wherefore? but "arose and went.

    And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had driven them mad by his sorceries." This Simon, then--who feigned faith, supposing that the apostles themselves performed their cures by the art of magic, and not by the power of God; and with respect to their filling with the Holy Ghost, through the imposition of hands, those …

  3. Quotes verse 8:13 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXI)

    … when we hear, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;" we do not of course understand it of one who believes in such a way "as the devils believe and tremble;" nor of those who receive baptism in such sort as Simon Magus, who though he could be baptized, could not be saved.

    The inventor of all heresy was Simon Magus: that Simon, who in the Acts of the Apostles thought to purchase with money the unsaleable grace of the Spirit, and heard the words, Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, and the rest: concerning whom also it is written, They went out from us, but they were not …
