Lamsa(i)
14 N ow when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that the Samaritan people had accepted the word of God, they sent to them Simon Peter and John,
15 Who, when they went down, prayed over them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
16 For as yet it had not come upon them although they had been baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus.
17 Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 And when Semon saw that the Holy Spirit was given by the laying on of the apostlesÆ hands, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this authority so that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
20 Simon Peter said to him, Let your money perish with you because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with wealth.
21 You have no part nor lot in this faith because your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent, therefore, of this evil of yours, and beseech God that he may perhaps forgive you for the guile which is in your heart.
23 For I see your heart is as bitter as gall and you are in the bonds of iniquity.
24 Then Semon answered and said, Pray God for me so that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
25 Now when Simon Peter and John had testified and taught them the word of God, they returned to Jerusalem after they had preached in many Samaritan villages.
