Acts 8:14-25

Wesley(i) 14 And the apostles who were at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John: 15 Who being come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. 16 For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18 And Simon seeing that thro' laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Ghost was given, 19 offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20 But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought to purchase the gift of God with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. 23 For I see, thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity. 24 And Simon answering said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things, which ye have spoken, may come upon me. 25 They then, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned toward Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
