Acts 8:18-23

¹⁸Now when Simon observed that by the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

¹⁹saying, “Give me this power also, that on whom ever I lay my hands he may receive the Holy Spirit.”

²⁰But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought to acquire the gift of God with money!

²¹You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

²²Repent therefore from this your wickedness, and make petition to God, if perhaps the intent of your heart will be forgiven you.

²³For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of unrighteousness.”
