Acts 8

18 When Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given when the apostles placed their hands on people, he offered them money. 19 "Give me this power, too," he asked them, "so that anyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit."

20 "May your money be destroyed together with you for thinking God’s gift is something that can be bought!" Peter replied. 21 "You’re not part of any of this. None of this work belongs to you, because in God’s eyes your attitude is totally wrong. 22 Repent of your evil ways! Pray to the Lord and ask forgiveness for thinking like this. 23 I can see that you are full of bitter envy, and chained down by your sin."

24 "Please pray for me, that nothing you’ve said may happen to me!" Simon replied.
