He continued with Philip; kept him constantly company, and was amongst the forwardest of the professors of Christ's faith. And wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done; thus the magicians of Egypt were brought to acknowledge the finger of God, Exodus 8:19, although their hearts were hardened.
