Acts 8:9 in Context — Acts 8
7 Porque de muchos que tenían espíritus inmundos, salían [éstos] dando grandes voces; y muchos paralíticos y cojos eran sanados:
8 Así que había gran gozo en aquella ciudad.
9 Y 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:
10 Al cual oían todos atentamente desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande, diciendo: Este es la gran virtud de Dios.
11 Y le estaban atentos, porque con sus artes mágicas los había embelesado mucho tiempo.
