Acts 8:14-23

14And the apostlesG652 who were in JerusalemG2414, having heardG191 that SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of 1GodG2316, sentG649 to them PeterG4074 and JohnG2491;

15who, having comeG2597 down, prayedG4336 for them that they might receiveG2983 [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151;

16for he wasG1510 not yet fallen upon any of them, onlyG3440 they wereG1510 baptised to the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.

17Then they laidG2007 their handsG5495 upon them, and they receivedG2983 [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151.

18But SimonG4613, having seenG3708 that by the layingG1936 on of the handsG5495 of the apostlesG652 the [Holy] SpiritG4151 was givenG1325, offeredG4374 them moneyG5536,

19sayingG3004, GiveG1325 to me also this powerG1849, in orderG2443 that on whomsoever I may lay handsG5495 he may receiveG2983 [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151.

20And PeterG4074 saidG3004 to him, Thy moneyG694 go with thee to destructionG684, because thou hast thoughtG3543 that the giftG1431 of 2GodG2316 can beG1510 obtained by moneyG694.

21Thou hast neither partG3310 nor lotG2819 in this matterG3056, for thy heartG2588 isG1510 not upright before 3GodG2316.

22RepentG3340 thereforeG3767 of this thy wickednessG2549, and supplicate the LordG2962, if indeed the thought of thy heartG2588 may be forgivenG863 thee;

23for I seeG3708 thee to beG1510 in the gallG5521 of bitternessG4088, and bondG4886 of unrighteousnessG93.
