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

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

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

20But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.

22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.
