KJV:But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
KJV:To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
KJV:And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
KJV:But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
KJV:Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
KJV:Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
KJV:Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
KJV:(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
KJV:Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
KJV:And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
KJV:Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
KJV:But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
KJV:Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
KJV:Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
KJV:For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
KJV:Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
