Acts 8:14-23
14When theG3588 apostlesG652 inG1722 JerusalemG2414 heardG191 thatG3754 SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316, they sentG649 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 toG4314 themG846. 15On their arrivalG3748G2597, they prayedG4336 forG4012 themG846 toG3704 receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 16ForG1063 the Holy Spirit hadG1510 not yetG3764 fallenG1968 uponG1909 anyG3762 of themG846; they had simply beenG5225G3440 baptizedG907 intoG1519 theG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424. 17ThenG5119 Peter and John laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 they receivedG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
18When SimonG4613 sawG3708 thatG3754 theG3588 SpiritG4151 was givenG1325 throughG1223 theG3588 laying onG1936 of theG3588 apostlesG652’ handsG5495, he offeredG4374 themG846 moneyG5536. 19“Give meG1325 thisG3778 powerG1849 as wellG2504,” he saidG3004, “so thatG2443 everyone on whomG3739G1437 I layG2007 my handsG5495 may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.”
20ButG1161 PeterG4074 repliedG2036, “May yourG4771 silverG694 perishG1510G1519G684 withG4862 youG4771, becauseG3754 you thoughtG3543 you could buyG2932 theG3588 giftG1431 of GodG2316 withG1223 moneyG5536! 21YouG4771 haveG1510 noG3756 partG3310 or shareG2819 inG1722 our ministryG3056, becauseG1063 yourG4771 heartG2588 isG1510 notG3756 rightG2117 beforeG1725 GodG2316. 22RepentG3340, thereforeG3767, ofG575 yourG4771 wickednessG2549, andG2532 pray toG1189 theG3588 LordG2962. PerhapsG1487G687 He will forgiveG863 youG4771 for theG3588 intentG1963 ofG3588 yourG4771 heartG2588. 23ForG1063 I see thatG3708 youG4771 areG1510 poisonedG5521 by bitternessG4088 andG2532 captiveG4886 to iniquityG93.”
