Acts 8:18-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because (A)you thought that (B)the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your (C)heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God (D)if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are (E)poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”

24 Then Simon answered and said, (F)“Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”

25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
