### Why did Simon, who had great power of God, believe and be baptized?
Simon believed and was baptized because he was surprised when he saw the signs and mighty works Philip did with Gods power. That is, the Samaritans thought Simon had great power of God, but Simon himself was amazed when he saw Gods power through Philip. Simon knew about power from God and he knew something more powerful than his power worked through Philip. His trust in miracles and power was not enough for him to believe for very long. He soon became more interested in power than in believing (see: Acts 8:18-19). Jesus knew he Simon was thinking in the wrong way (see: John 2:23-24).

The apostles in Jerusalem were glad the Samaritans believed in Jesus and they were not surprised. They did, however, feel it was their duty to inspect the new work to make sure it was true and good (see: Acts 11:22). Before, John went to Samaria because before that he wanted Jesus to call down fire from heaven on the Samaritans for rejecting Jesus since Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem (see: Luke 9:52-55). Now, John went to see for himself if the Samaritans believed in Jesus. Then, John told other Samaritan villages about Jesus and the gospel (see: Acts 8:25).

## How did Samaria receive the “word” of God?
### How did Samaria receive the “word” of God?
Samaria received the “word”(λόγος/g3056) of God when they believed Jesus is the messiah, the Son of God, and the power of salvation (see: Romans 1:2-5). It was a way to say they believed the things Philip said about Jesus, who is the “Word” of God (see: John 1:1).

### Why did the apostles send Peter and John to Samaria?
@ -117,11 +117,11 @@ Scholars give several reasons why the apostles sent Peter and John to Samaria.
1. It was necessary for the apostles from Jerusalem to welcome the Samaritan Christians. Then the Christians in Jerusalem would be able to fully include Samaritan Christians into the Christian community. The Christian community was only Jewish people until that time.
1. It was not necessary for the apostles from the Jerusalem church to welcome the Samaritan Christians. Luke did not write it was necessary. Later, Paul wrote other Christians who were not apostles baptized people (see: 1 Corinthians 1:14-17).

### What happened when the apostles Peter and John prayed and laid hands on the Samaritans for them to receive the Holy Spirit?
Luke did not write what happened when the apostles Peter and John prayed and laid hands on the Samaritans for them to receive the Holy Spirit. Some scholars think they spoke in tongues because that happened at other times when the Holy Spirit filled people in Acts (see: Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:6). Other scholars think there were other gifts of the Spirit or signs because Luke did not write the Samaritans spoke in tongues.

### Why did Simon want to give the apostles money to give the Holy Spirit to people?
Simon wanted to do the same things an apostle did. Then he will have the power to give people the Holy Spirit when he laid his hands on people. He liked having power and this was another way for him to have power over people and bring glory to himself.
