KJV ¹⁷ Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

KJV ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

KJV ¹⁹ Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

KJV ²⁰ 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 ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

KJV ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

KJV ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

KJV ²⁴ Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
