Acts 8:19 Context
17Then layde they their hands on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost. 18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the Apostles hands, the holy Ghost was giuen, hee offered them money, 19Saying, Giue me also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay handes, hee may receiue the holy Ghost. 20But Peter said vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
