14. Now when the emissaries who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and Yochanan to them,
15. who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
16. for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been immersed in the name of Messiah Yeshua.
17. Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18. Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the emissaries’ hands, he offered them money,
19. saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20. But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
21. You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
22. Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23. For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
