Hechos 8
Lutherbibel 1912
1Saulus aber hatte Wohlgefallen an seinem Tode. Es erhob sich aber zu der Zeit eine große Verfolgung über die Gemeinde zu Jerusalem; und sie zerstreuten sich alle in die Länder Judäa und Samarien, außer den Aposteln.
2Es bestatteten aber Stephanus gottesfürchtige Männer und hielten eine große Klage über ihn.
3Saulus aber verstörte die Gemeinde, ging hin und her in die Häuser und zog hervor Männer und Weiber und überantwortete sie ins Gefängnis.
4Die nun zerstreut waren, gingen um und predigten das Wort.
5Philippus aber kam hinab in eine Stadt in Samarien und predigte ihnen von Christo.
6Das Volk aber hörte einmütig und fleißig zu, was Philippus sagte, und sah die Zeichen, die er tat.
7Denn die unsauberen Geister fuhren aus vielen Besessenen mit großem Geschrei; auch viele Gichtbrüchige und Lahme wurden gesund gemacht.
8Und es ward eine große Freude in derselben Stadt.
9Es war aber ein Mann, mit Namen Simon, der zuvor in der Stadt Zauberei trieb und bezauberte das samaritische Volk und gab vor, er wäre etwas Großes.
10Und sie sahen alle auf ihn, beide, klein und groß, und sprachen: Der ist die Kraft Gottes, die da groß ist.
11Sie sahen aber darum auf ihn, daß er sie lange Zeit mit seiner Zauberei bezaubert hatte.
12Da sie aber den Predigten des Philippus glaubten vom Reich Gottes und von dem Namen Jesu Christi, ließen sich taufen Männer und Weiber.
13Da ward auch Simon gläubig und ließ sich taufen und hielt sich zu Philippus. Und als er sah die Zeichen und Taten, die da geschahen, verwunderte er sich.
14Da aber die Apostel hörten zu Jerusalem, daß Samarien das Wort Gottes angenommen hatte, sandten sie zu ihnen Petrus und Johannes,
15welche, da sie hinabkamen, beteten sie über sie, daß sie den Heiligen Geist empfingen.
16(Denn er war noch auf keinen gefallen, sondern sie waren allein getauft auf den Namen Christi Jesu.)
17Da legten sie die Hände auf sie, und sie empfingen den Heiligen Geist.
18Da aber Simon sah, daß der Heilige Geist gegeben ward, wenn die Apostel die Hände auflegten, bot er ihnen Geld an
19und sprach: Gebt mir auch die Macht, daß, so ich jemand die Hände auflege, derselbe den Heiligen Geist empfange.
20Petrus aber sprach zu ihm: Daß du verdammt werdest mit deinem Gelde, darum daß du meinst, Gottes Gabe werde durch Geld erlangt!
21Du wirst weder Teil noch Anfall haben an diesem Wort; denn dein Herz ist nicht rechtschaffen vor Gott.
22Darum tue Buße für diese deine Bosheit und bitte Gott, ob dir vergeben werden möchte die Tücke deines Herzens.
23Denn ich sehe, du bist voll bitterer Galle und verknüpft mit Ungerechtigkeit.
24Da antwortete Simon und sprach: Bittet ihr den HERRN für mich, daß der keines über mich komme, davon ihr gesagt habt.
25Sie aber, da sie bezeugt und geredet hatten das Wort des HERRN, wandten sich wieder um gen Jerusalem und predigten das Evangelium vielen samaritischen Flecken.
26Aber der Engel des HERRN redete zu Philippus und sprach: Stehe auf und gehe gegen Mittag auf die Straße, die von Jerusalem geht hinab gen Gaza, die da wüst ist.
27Und er stand auf und ging hin. Und siehe, ein Mann aus Mohrenland, ein Kämmerer und Gewaltiger der Königin Kandaze in Mohrenland, welcher war über ihre ganze Schatzkammer, der war gekommen gen Jerusalem, anzubeten,
28und zog wieder heim und saß auf seinem Wagen und las den Propheten Jesaja.
29Der Geist aber sprach zu Philippus: Gehe hinzu und halte dich zu diesem Wagen!
30Da lief Philippus hinzu und hörte, daß er den Propheten Jesaja las, und sprach: Verstehst du auch, was du liesest?
31Er aber sprach: Wie kann ich, so mich nicht jemand anleitet? Und ermahnte Philippus, daß er aufträte und setzte sich zu ihm.
32Der Inhalt aber der Schrift, die er las, war dieser: “Er ist wie ein Schaf zur Schlachtung geführt; und still wie ein Lamm vor seinem Scherer, also hat er nicht aufgetan seinen Mund.
33In seiner Niedrigkeit ist sein Gericht aufgehoben. Wer wird aber seines Lebens Länge ausreden? denn sein Leben ist von der Erde weggenommen.”
34Da antwortete der Kämmerer dem Philippus und sprach: Ich bitte dich, von wem redet der Prophet solches? von sich selber oder von jemand anders?
35Philippus aber tat seinen Mund auf und fing von dieser Schrift an und predigte ihm das Evangelium von Jesu.
36Und als sie zogen der Straße nach, kamen sie an ein Wasser. Und der Kämmerer sprach: Siehe, da ist Wasser; was hindert's, daß ich mich taufen lasse?
37Philippus aber sprach: Glaubst du von ganzem Herzen, so mag's wohl sein. Er antwortete und sprach: Ich glaube, daß Jesus Christus Gottes Sohn ist.
38Und er hieß den Wagen halten, und stiegen hinab in das Wasser beide, Philippus und der Kämmerer, und er taufte ihn.
39Da sie aber heraufstiegen aus dem Wasser, rückte der Geist des HERRN Philippus hinweg, und der Kämmerer sah ihn nicht mehr; er zog aber seine Straße fröhlich.
40Philippus aber ward gefunden zu Asdod und wandelte umher und predigte allen Städten das Evangelium, bis daß er kam gen Cäsarea.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y SAULO consentía en su muerte. Y en aquel día se hizo una grande persecución en la iglesia que estaba en Jerusalem; y todos fueron esparcidos por las tierras de Judea y de Samaria, salvo los apóstoles.
2Y llevaron á enterrar á Esteban varones piadosos, é hicieron gran llanto sobre él.
3Entonces Saulo asolaba la iglesia, entrando por las casas: y trayendo hombres y mujeres, los entregaba en la cárcel.
4Mas los que fueron esparcidos, iban por todas partes anunciando la palabra.
5Entonces Felipe, descendiendo á la ciudad de Samaria, les predicaba á Cristo.
6Y las gentes escuchaban atentamente unánimes las cosas que decía Felipe, oyendo y viendo las señales que hacía.
7Porque de muchos que tenían espíritus inmundos, salían éstos dando grandes voces; y muchos paralíticos y cojos eran sanados:
8Así que había gran gozo en aquella ciudad.
9Y había un hombre llamado Simón, el cual había sido antes mágico en aquella ciudad, y había engañado la gente de Samaria, diciéndose ser algún grande:
10Al cual oían todos atentamente desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande, diciendo: Este es la gran virtud de Dios.
11Y le estaban atentos, porque con sus artes mágicas los había embelesado mucho tiempo.
12Mas cuando creyeron á Felipe, que anunciaba el evangelio del reino de Dios y el nombre de Jesucristo, se bautizaban hombres y mujeres.
13El mismo Simón creyó también entonces, y bautizándose, se llegó á Felipe: y viendo los milagros y grandes maravillas que se hacían, estaba atónito.
14Y los apóstoles que estaban en Jerusalem, habiendo oído que Samaria había recibido la palabra de Dios, les enviaron á Pedro y á Juan:
15Los cuales venidos, oraron por ellos, para que recibiesen el Espíritu Santo;
16(Porque aun no había descendido sobre ninguno de ellos, mas solamente eran bautizados en el nombre de Jesús.)
17Entonces les impusieron las manos, y recibieron el Espíritu Santo.
18Y como vió Simón que por la imposición de las manos de los apóstoles se daba el Espíritu Santo, les ofreció dinero,
19Diciendo: Dadme también á mí esta potestad, que á cualquiera que pusiere las manos encima, reciba el Espíritu Santo.
20Entonces Pedro le dijo: Tu dinero perezca contigo, que piensas que el don de Dios se gane por dinero.
21No tienes tú parte ni suerte en este negocio; porque tu corazón no es recto delante de Dios.
22Arrepiéntete pues de esta tu maldad, y ruega á Dios, si quizás te será perdonado el pensamiento de tu corazón.
23Porque en hiel de amargura y en prisión de maldad veo que estás.
24Respondiendo entonces Simón, dijo: Rogad vosotros por mí al Señor, que ninguna cosa de estas que habéis dicho, venga sobre mí.
25Y ellos, habiendo testificado y hablado la palabra de Dios, se volvieron á Jerusalem, y en muchas tierras de los Samaritanos anunciaron el evangelio.
26Empero el ángel del Señor habló á Felipe, diciendo: Levántate y ve hacia el mediodía, al camino que desciende de Jerusalem á Gaza, el cual es desierto.
27Entonces él se levantó, y fué: y he aquí un Etiope, eunuco, gobernador de Candace, reina de los Etiopes, el cual era puesto sobre todos sus tesoros, y había venido á adorar á Jerusalem,
28Se volvía sentado en su carro, y leyendo el profeta Isaías.
29Y el Espíritu dijo á Felipe: Llégate, y júntate á este carro.
30Y acudiendo Felipe, le oyó que leía el profeta Isaías, y dijo: Mas ¿entiendes lo que lees?
31Y él dijo: ¿Y cómo podré, si alguno no me enseñare? Y rogó á Felipe que subiese, y se sentase con él.
32Y el lugar de la Escritura que leía, era éste: Como oveja á la muerte fué llevado; y como cordero mudo delante del que le trasquila, así no abrió su boca:
33En su humillación su juicio fué quitado: mas su generación, ¿quién la contará? porque es quitada de la tierra su vida.
34Y respondiendo el eunuco á Felipe, dijo: Ruégote ¿de quién el profeta dice esto? ¿de sí, ó de otro alguno?
35Entonces Felipe, abriendo su boca, y comenzando desde esta escritura, le anunció el evangelio de Jesús.
36Y yendo por el camino, llegaron á cierta agua; y dijo el eunuco: He aquí agua; ¿qué impide que yo sea bautizado?
37Y Felipe dijo: Si crees de todo corazón, bien puedes. Y respondiendo, dijo: Creo que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios.
38Y mandó parar el carro: y descendieron ambos al agua, Felipe y el eunuco; y bautizóle.
39Y como subieron del agua, el Espíritu del Señor arrebató á Felipe; y no le vió más el eunuco, y se fué por su camino gozoso.
40Felipe empero se halló en Azoto: y pasando, anunciaba el evangelio en todas las ciudades, hasta que llegó á Cesarea.
King James Version
1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7For 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.
8And there was great joy in that city.
9But 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:
10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12But 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.
13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27And 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,
28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32The 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:
33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? 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 man?
35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36And 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?
37And 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.
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39And 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.
40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
World English Bible
1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
5Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
6The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
8There was great joy in that city.
9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
10to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
11They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
12But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
14Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
16for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
17Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
19saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
21You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
22Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
24Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
26Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
27He arose and went; and behold, there was 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.
28He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
30Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged 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. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
33In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
34The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
35Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
36As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
37—
38He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
40But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
