First Reading
Acts 8:5-8, 14-17
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
5And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ to them.
6And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the signs which he did.
7For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
8And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
14Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John.
15Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
16For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
