Acts 8:21 Context
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. 22Repent therefore of this thy wickednesse, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee. 23For I perceiue that thou art in the gall of bitternesse, and in the bond of iniquitie.

Wesley's Notes for Acts 8:21
8:21 Thou hast neither part - By purchase, nor lot - Given gratis, in this matter - This gift of God. For thy heart is not right before God - Probably St. Peter discerned this long before he had declared it; although it does not appear that God gave to any of the apostles a universal power of discerning the hearts of all they conversed with; any more than a universal power of healing all the sick they came near. This we are sure St. Paul had not; though he was not inferior to the chief of the apostles. Otherwise he would not have suffered the illness of Epaphroditus to have brought him so near to death, #Php 2:25 |- 27; nor have left so useful a fellow labourer as Trophimus sick at Miletus, #2Tim 4:20|.
