Simon, who practiced sorcery, also believes and is baptized

마술을 행하던 시몬도 믿고 세례를 받음

Acts 8:9–13: there is a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one. They all listen to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God,” because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. But when they believe Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they are baptized, both men and women. Simon himself also believes. Being baptized, he continues with Philip, and seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he is amazed.
