Deeds (Act) of Apostles 8

18 And when Simon had seen, that the Holy Ghost was given by laying on of [the] hands of the apostles, and he proffered [or offered] to them money,

19 and said, Give ye also to me this power, that whomever I shall lay on mine hands [or that on whomever I shall put on hands], that he receive the Holy Ghost.

20 But Peter said to him, Thy money be with thee into perdition, for thou guessedest that the gift of God should be had for money [or for thou guessedest the gift of God to be had, or wielded, by money].

21 There is no part, nor lot to thee, in this word, for thine heart is not rightful before God.

22 Therefore do thou penance for this wickedness of thee, and pray God, if peradventure this thought of thine heart be forgiven to thee.

23 For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of wickedness.

24 And Simon answered, and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that nothing of these things that ye have said, come on me.
