17. Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18. When Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
19. saying, “Give me this power too, so that anyone I lay hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20. But Peter told him, “May your silver be destroyed with you, because you thought the gift of God could be obtained with money!
21. You have no part or share in this matter, because your heart is not right before God.
22. Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.
23. For I see you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”
