Acts 8:14-25
14NowG1161 when the apostlesG652 that were at JerusalemG2414 heardG191 that SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, they sentG649 unto them PeterG4074 and JohnG2491: 15who, when they were comeG2597 down, prayedG4336 for them, that they might receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151: 16for as yet it wasG1510 fallen upon noneG3762 of them: onlyG3440 they had beenG1510 baptizedG907 into the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 17Then laidG2007 they their handsG5495 on them, and they receivedG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 18NowG1161 when SimonG4613 sawG3708 that through the layingG1936 on of the apostles’G652 handsG5495 the Holy SpiritG4151 was givenG1325, he offeredG4374 them moneyG5536, 19sayingG3004, GiveG1325 me also this powerG1849, that on whomsoever I lay my handsG5495, he may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 20But PeterG4074 saidG3004 unto him, Thy silverG694 perish with thee, because thou hast thoughtG3543 to obtain the giftG1431 of GodG2316 with moneyG694. 21Thou hast neither partG3310 nor lotG2819 in this matterG3056: for thy heartG2588 isG1510 not right before GodG2316. 22RepentG3340 thereforeG3767 of this thy wickednessG2549, and prayG1189 the LordG2962, if perhapsG686 the thought of thy heartG2588 shall be forgivenG863 thee. 23For I seeG3708 that thou art in the gallG5521 of bitternessG4088 and in the bondG4886 of iniquityG93. 24And SimonG4613 answeredG611 and saidG3004, PrayG1189 ye for me to the LordG2962, that none of the thingsG3739 which ye have spoken comeG1904 upon me.
25They thereforeG3767, when they had testifiedG1263 and spokenG2980 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2414, and preached the gospel to manyG4183 villagesG2968 of the SamaritansG4541.
