Philip preached the gospel in Samaria, proclaiming Jesus as the Christ. Many people believed and were baptized, experiencing great joy. Simon, who had previously practiced magic, was also baptized after he saw the signs and wonders performed by Philip. However, Simon wanted the power to impart the Holy Spirit for himself.
