John 4:35Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.John 4:36Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.John 4:37For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.John 4:38I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”John 4:39Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”John 4:40So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.John 4:41And many more believed because of His message.John 4:42They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”Acts 8:5Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.Acts 8:6The crowds all paid close attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.Acts 8:7With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed.Acts 8:8So there was great joy in that city.Acts 8:9Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,Acts 8:10and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”Acts 8:11They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.Acts 8:12But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.Acts 8:13Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.Acts 8:14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.Acts 8:15On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.Acts 8:16For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.Acts 8:17Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.Acts 8:18When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.Acts 8:19“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”Acts 8:20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!Acts 8:21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.Acts 8:22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.Acts 8:23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”Acts 8:24Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”Acts 8:25And after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the Samaritan villages.Acts 15:3Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
