Acts 8 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

18 And when Simon had seen that by the imposition of the hand of the Apostles, the holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

19 saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I impose my hands, he may receive the holy Ghost.

20 But Peter said to him: Thy money be with thee unto perdition: because thou hast thought that the gift of God is purchased with money.

21 Thou hast no part, nor lot in this word. For thy heart is not right before God.

22 Do penance therefore from this thy wickedness: and pray to God, if perhaps this cogitation of thy heart may be remitted thee.

23 For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and the obligation of iniquity.
