PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE PHILIP - THE DEACON ACT 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: ACT 8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. ACT 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. ACT 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. ACT 8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. ACT 8:8 And there was great joy in that city. ACT 8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: ACT 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. ACT 8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. ACT 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ACT 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. ACT 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: ACT 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, ACT 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. ACT 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. ACT 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? ACT 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. ACT 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: ACT 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. ACT 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? ACT 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. ACT 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? ACT 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ACT 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ACT 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. ACT 21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. ACT 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. ACT 21:10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. ============================== THE LECTRONIC IBRARY ECHANGE P.O.
