Deeds (Act) of Apostles 8:17-20

¹⁷Then they laid (their) hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost (or and they received the Holy Spirit).

¹⁸And when Simon had seen, that the Holy Ghost was given by (the) laying on of the hands of the apostles, and he proffered or he offered to them money, (And when Simon had seen, that the Holy Spirit was given by the laying on of the hands of the apostles, then he offered them money,)

¹⁹and said, Give ye also to me this power, that whomever I shall lay on mine hands or that on whomever I shall put on hands, that he receive the Holy Ghost. (and said, Give also to me this power, so that whomever I shall lay my hands on, he shall receive the Holy Spirit.)

²⁰But Peter said to him, Thy money be with thee into perdition, for thou guessedest that the gift of God should be had for money or for thou guessedest the gift of God to be had (or gotten), or wielded, (or possessed), by money.
