Acts 8:13-23

JuliaSmith(i) 13 And Simon also himself believed: and having been immersed, he was persovering with Philip, beholding the signs and great powers having been, they were astonished. 14 And the sent in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John: 15 Who, having gone down, prayed for them, that they receive the Holy Spirit 16 (For not yet was it fallen upon any of them: only they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then put they hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 And Simon having seen that by putting on of hands of the sent the Holy Spirit is given, he brought money to them, 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that upon whomsoever I put hands, he might receive the Holy Spirit. 20 And Peter said to him, May thy silver be for ruin with thee, for thou thoughtest the gift of God to be purchased for money. 21 No portion is to thee, nor lot, in this word: for thy heart is not upright before God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart be remitted to thee. 23 For I see thee being in the bile of bitterness, and bond of iniquity.
