8:10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
8:11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
8:12But 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.
8:13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
8:14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
8:15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
8:16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
8:17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
8:18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
8:19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
8:20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
