Acts 8:13-23 nay, Simon himself became a proselyte: and after he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and was transported at the sight of the miracles and prodigies which he perform'd.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ nay, Simon himself became a proselyte: and after he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and was transported at the sight of the miracles and prodigies which he perform'd. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem, heard that the Samaritans had embraced the word of God, they sent Peter and John, ¹⁵ who upon their arrival, prayed for them that they might receive the holy spirit. ¹⁶ (for as yet he had not descended on any of them: they having only been baptized in the name of the Lord ¹⁷ Jesus) the apostles therefore gave them imposition of hands, and they received the holy spirit. ¹⁸ when Simon saw that the holy spirit was given by imposition of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money, saying, ¹⁹ give me too this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands he may receive the holy spirit. ²⁰ but Peter said unto him, thy money perish with thee, for thinking that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ thou hast no manner of share in this gift: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, to forgive, if it be possible, this suggestion you have entertain'd. ²³ for I perceive you are upon the brink of misery, led captive by your sin.
