Acts 8:9-19 (King James Version)

 ⁹But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

 ¹⁰To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

 ¹¹And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

 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.

 ¹³Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

 ¹⁴Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

 ¹⁵Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

 ¹⁶(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

 ¹⁷Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

 ¹⁸And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

 ¹⁹Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
