5 And going down to a city of Samaria, Philip proclaimed Christ to them.
6 And with one passion the crowds heeded that being said by Philip when they heard and saw the many miracles which he did.
7 For many came out from those having unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice. And many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 And great joy was in that city.
9 But a certain man named Simon had long been conjuring in the city and amazing the nation of Samaria, claiming himself to be some great one.
10 All were paying attention to him, from small to great, saying, This one is the power of God, which is great.
11 And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his conjuring.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel, the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 And Simon himself also believed, and being baptized was continuing steadfastly with Philip. And seeing miracles and mighty works happening, he was amazed.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem hearing that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15 who going down prayed concerning them so that they may receive the Holy Spirit.
16 For He had not yet fallen on any one of them, but they were only being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 But Simon having seen that the Holy Spirit is given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,
19 saying, Give to me also this authority that to whomever I may lay on the hands he may receive the Holy Spirit.
20 But Peter said to him, May your silver be with you into perdition, because you thought to get the gift of God through money.
21 There is neither part nor lot to you in this matter, for your heart is not upright before the face of God.
22 Repent, then, from this wickedness of yours, and petition God if perhaps you will be forgiven the thought of your heart.
23 For I see you being in the gall of bitterness and a bundle of unrighteousness.
24 And answering Simon said, You petition to the Lord for me, so that nothing of which you have spoken may come on me.
25 Then indeed having earnestly testified and having spoken the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, even having announced the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
