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,

when Simon saw that the holy spirit was given by imposition of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money, saying,

so that Peter staid there a considerable time with one Simon a tanner.

send messengers immediately to Joppa, for one Simon, whose sirname is Peter:

he lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side.

send therefore to Joppa, for one Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side, who, when he is arriv'd, will give you information."
