Test III. Reading Comprehension

Read the short story then answer the questions that follow.
Simon the Unrepentant Magician
Philip went to the city of Samaria and told the people about Christ. They crowded around
Philip because they were eager to hear what he was saying and to see him work miracles. Many
people with evil spirits were healed, and the spirits went out of them with a shout. A lot of crippled
and lame people were also healed. Everyone in that city was very glad because of what was
happening.
For some time a man named Simon had lived in the city of Samaria and had amazed the
people. He practiced witchcraft and claimed to be somebody great. Everyone, rich and poor,
crowded around him. They said, This man is the power of God called The Great Power. For a
long time, Simon had used witchcraft to amaze the people, and they kept crowding around him.
But when they believed what Philip was saying about Gods kingdom and about the name of
Jesus Christ, they were all baptized. Even Simon believed and was baptized. He stayed close to
Philip, because he marveled at all the miracles and wonders.
The apostles in Jerusalem heard that some people in Samaria had accepted Gods
message, and they sent Peter and John. When the two apostles arrived, they prayed that the
people would be given the Holy Spirit. Before this, the Holy Spirit had not been given to anyone in
Samaria, though some of them had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Peter and John
then placed their hands on everyone who had faith in the Lord, and they were given the Holy
Spirit.
Simon noticed that the Holy Spirit was given only when the apostles placed their hands
on the people. So he brought money and said to Peter and John, Let me have this power too!
Then anyone I place my hands on will also be given the Holy Spirit. Peter said to him, You and
your money will both end up in hell if you think you can buy Gods gift! You dont have any part in
this, and God sees that your heart isnt right. Get rid of these evil thoughts and ask God to forgive
you. I can see that you are jealous and bound by your evil ways.
Simon said, Please pray to the Lord, so that what you said wont happen to me.
