有個名叫西門的術士，向來妄自尊大，曾用邪術使撒瑪利亞人驚奇不已。無論貴賤，眾人都聽從他，稱他為「上帝的大能者」。他們聽從他，因為他長期用邪術迷惑他們。後來，他們相信了腓利所傳關於上帝的國度和耶穌基督的福音，男男女女都接受了洗禮。西門本人也信了基督，接受了洗禮，並常常追隨腓利左右。腓利所行的神蹟奇事令他非常驚奇。

但希臘名字叫以呂馬的那個術士反對使徒，試圖攔阻總督信主。又名保羅的掃羅被聖靈充滿，盯著他說：「你這魔鬼的兒子，充滿了詭詐和邪惡，是一切正義之敵，到現在還想歪曲主的正道嗎？現在主要親手懲罰你，使你瞎眼，暫時不見天日！」他頓覺眼前一片漆黑，只好四處摸索，求人領他走路。

巫師們也試圖用邪術變出蝨子來，卻無法成功。埃及的百姓和牲畜身上長滿了蝨子。巫師們對法老說：「這是上帝的作為。」法老的心卻仍然剛硬，不肯答應摩西和亞倫的要求，正如耶和華所言。

又有許多行邪術的人把他們的書堆在一起，當眾焚燒。根據當時的估價，這些書約值五萬銀幣。主的道就這樣傳開了，大大興旺起來。
