Acts 8:13-21 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

14. Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

15. Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:

16. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

17. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

19. Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

20. But Peter said unto him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

21. You have neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
