Acts of the Apostles

¹⁸ Now 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 also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”

²⁰ But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

²¹ You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.

²² Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

²³ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
