Contextual Overview
4 They, indeed, therefore, who were scattered abroad, passed through, telling the good-news of the word; 5 And, Philip, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ. 6 And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working. 7 For, from many who had impure spirits, shouting with a loud voice, they were going out, and, many that were paralysed and lame, were cured. 8 And there came to be great joy in that city. 9 But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, - saying that himself was someone great: 10 Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying - This, is the Power of God, which is called Great. 11 And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them. 12 But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be immersed, both men and women. 13 And, Simon himself also, believed; and, having been immersed, was in constant attendance on Philip, - and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And there was great joy in that city. Both on a spiritual account, for the good of their souls, through the preaching of Christ and his Gospel to them; and on a temporal account; for the good of their bodies, or their friends, being dispossessed of devils, and healed of their diseases.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And there was great joy - This joy arose:
- From the fact that so many persons, before sick and afflicted, were restored to health.
(2)From the conversion of individuals to Christ.
(3)From the mutual joy of “families” and “friends” that their friends were converted. The tendency of a revival of religion is thus to produce great joy.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 8:8. There was great joy in that city. — No wonder, when they heard such glorious truths, and were the subjects of such beneficent miracles.
