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.  
22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God aif perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.  
23 For I see that you are apoisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”  
24 Then Simon answered and said, a“Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”  
25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
