Acts 8:13-25

13EvenG2532 SimonG4613 himselfG846 believedG4100; and after being baptizedG907, he continuedG4342 on with PhilipG5376, and as he observedG2334 1signsG4592 and 2greatG3173 miraclesG1411 takingG1096 placeG1096, he was constantly amazedG1839.

14NowG1161 when 3the apostlesG652 in JerusalemG2414 heardG191 that SamariaG4540 had receivedG1209 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, they sentG649 them 4PeterG4074 and JohnG2491, 15whoG3748 cameG2597 downG2597 and prayedG4336 for them 5that they might receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 16For He had 6not yetG3764 fallenG1968 upon anyG3762 of them; they had simplyG3440 beenG5225 7baptizedG907 8in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 17ThenG5119 they 9began layingG2007 their handsG5495 on them, and they were 10receivingG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 18NowG1161 when SimonG4613 sawG3708 that the SpiritG4151 was bestowedG1325 throughG1223 the layingG1936 on of the apostles’G652 handsG5495, he offeredG4374 them moneyG5536, 19sayingG3004, “GiveG1325 thisG3778 authorityG1849 to me as wellG2532, soG2443 that everyoneG1437 on whomG3739 I layG2007 my handsG5495 may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.” 20But PeterG4074 saidG3004 to him, “May your silverG694 perishG684 with you, becauseG3754 you thoughtG3543 you could 11obtainG2932 the giftG1431 of GodG2316 with moneyG5536! 21You have 12noG3756 partG3310 orG3761 portionG2819 in thisG3778 13matterG3056, for your heartG2588 is not 14rightG2117 beforeG1725 GodG2316. 22ThereforeG3767 repentG3340 of thisG3778 wickednessG2549 of yoursG4771, and prayG1189 the LordG2962 that, 15ifG1487 possibleG686, the intentionG1963 of your heartG2588 may be forgivenG863 you. 23For I seeG3708 that you are in the gallG5521 of bitternessG4088 and in 16the 17bondageG4886 of iniquityG93.” 24But SimonG4613 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “18PrayG1189 to the LordG2962 for me yourselvesG4771, soG3704 that nothingG3367 of whatG3739 you have saidG3004 may comeG1904 upon me.”

25SoG3767, when they had solemnlyG1263 19testifiedG1263 and spokenG2980 20the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, they startedG5290 backG5290 to JerusalemG2414, and were 21preachingG2097 the gospelG2097 to manyG4183 villagesG2968 of the 22SamaritansG4541.
