13
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14
Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
15
Who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit:
16
(For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17
Then they laid [their] hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
19
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
20
But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
