Acts 8:12

Simon the Sorcerer

11They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.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.13Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.
