有一个名叫西门的人，自称是个大人物，一向在那城里行邪术，使撒马利亚的居民十分惊讶。所有的人，从卑微的到尊贵的，都听从他。他们说：“这个人就是那被称为‘神的大能者’的。”他们听从他，因为他长期以来用邪术使他们十分惊讶。可是腓利传讲有关神国的福音和耶稣基督之名的时候，他们就相信了，无论男女都受了洗，连西门自己也信了。他受洗以后，常常跟着腓利，看见所行出来的神迹和大能，就十分惊讶。

但那行法术的以路摩——他的名字翻译出来就是“行法术的”——却抵挡他们，企图使省长转离这信仰。可是扫罗，也就是保罗，被圣灵充满，注视着以路摩，说：“哦，你这个充满一切诡诈、一切奸恶的人哪！魔鬼的儿子，一切公义的仇敌！你歪曲主的正道，还不停止吗？看哪，现在主的手临到你，你要瞎眼，暂时看不见日光。”立刻，迷雾和黑暗笼罩了他，他四处摸索，求人牵手领路。

又有许多行邪术的人，把他们的书籍拿到一处，当众烧掉。他们估算了那些书的价值，发现共值五万个银币。这样，主的福音就大有能力地不断扩展，不断得胜。
