Acts 8:13-23

Worsley(i) 13 and Simon himself also believed, and was baptized, and kept constantly with Philip: and beholding the signs and miracles that were wrought, he was amazed. 14 Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John: 15 who when they were come down prayed for them that they might receive the holy Spirit: (for He was not yet fallen upon any of them, 16 only they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus:) and then they laid their hands on them, 17 and they received the holy Spirit. 18 And when Simon saw that the holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, 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 unto him, Let thy money perish with thee, since thou thoughtest to purchase the gift of God with money. 21 Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if so be the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee: 23 for I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity.
