Acts 8:18-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. But when Simon had seen that, by the imposition of the hands of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

19. saying, "Give this power to me also, so that on whomever I will lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit." But Peter said to him:

20. "Let your money be with you in perdition, for you have supposed that a gift of God might be possessed by money.

21. There is no part or place for you in this matter. For your heart is not upright in the sight of God.

22. And so, repent from this, your wickedness, and beg God, so that perhaps this plan of your heart might be forgiven you.
