Acts 8:13-23 Even Simon himself believed, and having been baptized he stayed right with Philip; observing miracles and signs occurring, he was amazed.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Even Simon himself believed, and having been baptized he stayed right with Philip; observing miracles and signs occurring, he was amazed. ¹⁴ Now when the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who upon coming down prayed about them, so that they might receive Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ because He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized into the name of Jesus, the Christ. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them and they received Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Well, upon observing that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the Apostles’ hands, Simon offered them money ¹⁹ saying, “Give this power to me also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive Holy Spirit.” ²⁰ But Peter said to him: “May your silver go with you into perdition, for thinking that the gift of God could be acquired with money! ²¹ You have neither part nor portion in this matter, because your heart is not right before God. ²² Turn away therefore from this your wickedness and make petition to God, in case the intent of your heart may be forgiven you; ²³ for I see you being into a gall of bitterness and a fetter of unrighteousness.”
