Acts 8:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 [a]And there was before in the city, a certain man called Simon, which used [b]witchcraft, and [c]bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was some great man,
10 To whom they gave heed from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God.
11 And they gave heed unto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
