13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.
The Sorcerer’s Sin
14 Now when the aapostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them athat they might receive the Holy Spirit.
16 For aas yet He had fallen upon none of them. bThey had only been baptized in cthe name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Then athey laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because ayou thought that bthe gift of God could be purchased with money!
21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your aheart is not right in the sight of God.
