ACTS 8:13-22

¹³And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed.

¹⁴Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

¹⁵who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

¹⁶for as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁷Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

¹⁸Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

¹⁹saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

²⁰But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

²¹Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.

²²Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.
