1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the New Creation Masjid which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. 3But Saul laid waste the New Creation Masjid, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.

4They therefore that were scattered abroad went about preaching the word. 5And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them al-Masih. 6And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did. 7For from many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed. 8And there was much joy in that city.

9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of Elokim which is called Great. 11And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. 12But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of Elokim and the name of [Prophet] Isa al-Masih [pbuh], they were given a total immersion death ghusl burial (see ultimate meaning, Romans 6:3) , both men and women. 13And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed.

14Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of Elokim, they sent unto them Peter and John 15who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ruach: 16for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of HaAdon [Prophet] Isa [al-Masih pbuh]. 17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ruach. 18Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ruach was given, he offered them money, 19saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ruach. 20But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of Elokim with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before Elokim. 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray HaAdon, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. 23For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. 24And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to HaAdon, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.

25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of HaAdon, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Holy Injil to many villages of the Samaritans.

26But an angel of HaAdon spoke unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert. 27And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship; 28and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.

32Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.

34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other? 35And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him [Prophet] Isa [al-Masih pbuh]. 36And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that [Prophet] Isa al-Masih [pbuh] is the Ben HaElokim [T.N. See Isaiah 9:6 and Zechariah 12:8-10, where Messiah and his House will be like Elokim, like the angel of تتراجراماتون ; also see Daniel 7:13-14 which says all peoples with "serve as deity" the Messiah; see Daniel 3:12 which uses the same word, meaning Messiah is not an idol and is divine and not a mere man; also see Proverbs 8:22 where تتراجراماتون possessed His Eternal Word who came to Maryam, John 1:1-14, as the Bar Enosh from the Atik Yomin, whom New Creation Muslims submit to and look for; see John 3:3,12-15; Luke 18:31-33; Matthew 17:9; 13:41] 38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of HaAdon caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. 40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the Holy Injil to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
