Contextual Overview

4 but they that were dispers'd, preach'd the gospel wherever they went. 5 Philip being arrived at Samaria, preached Christ to them. 6 the people attended with great unanimity, hearing his discourses, and observing the miracles he wrought. 7 for the impure spirits, with great outcries, came out of many that were possessed: many paralytic, and lame people were cured. 8 which caused great joy in that city. 9 One Simon was then resident in that place, who pretended to be something extra-ordinary, and by his magical practices had so enchanted the people of Samaria, 10 that they all followed him, both old and young. this man, said they, is the plenipotentiary of God. 11 no wonder they were so attach'd to one, who had for a long time infatuated them with his arts. 12 but when they had embraced the doctrine of Philip, concerning the kingdom of the Messias, and the authority of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 nay, Simon himself became a proselyte: and after he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and was transported at the sight of the miracles and prodigies which he perform'd.

Reciprocal: Acts 2:41 - gladly Acts 6:8 - did

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the people with one accord,.... The inhabitants of the city of Samaria, as one man, came to hear the word:

and gave heed to those things which Philip spake; they listened to them, took notice of them, gave their ascent to them, believed and embraced them; being induced thereunto, not only upon the evidence by which these things came, but by reason of the miracles which he wrought, for the confirmation of them: for it follows,

hearing and seeing the miracles which he did; and which are particularly mentioned in the next verse.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

With one accord - Unitedly, or with one mined. Great multitudes of them did it.

Gave heed - Paid attention to; embraced.

Hearing - Hearing what he said.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 8:6. The people with one accord gave heed — He had fixed their attention, not only with the gravity and importance of the matter of his preaching, but also by the miracles which he did.
