THE HOLY GHOST WAS GIVEN

ACTS 8:18-24

AND 

WHEN SIMON SAW 

THAT THROUGH 

LAYING ON OF THE APOSTLES' HANDS 

THE HOLY GHOST WAS GIVEN, 

HE OFFERED THEM MONEY, 

SAYING, 

GIVE ME ALSO

THIS POWER, 

THAT ON 

WHOMSOEVER

I LAY HANDS,

HE MAY RECEIVE

THE HOLY GHOST. 

BUT

PETER SAID UNTO HIM,

THY MONEY PERISH WITH THEE,

BECAUSE THOU HAST THOUGHT

THAT

THE GIFT OF GOD

MAY BE PURCHASED

WITH

MONEY.

THOU HAST NEITHER PART

NOR LOT IN THIS MATTER:

FOR

THY HEART IS NOT RIGHT

IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. 

REPENT THEREFORE

OF THIS

THY WICKEDNESS, 

AND

PRAY GOD, 

IF PERHAPS 

THE THOUGHT OF THINE HEART 

MAY BE FORGIVEN THEE. 

FOR

I PERCEIVE

THAT THOU ART

IN THE GALL OF BITTERNESS,

AND

IN THE BOND OF INIQUITY. 

THEN ANSWERED SIMON, 

AND SAID, 

PRAY YE TO THE LORD FOR ME,

THAT NONE OF THESE THINGS

WHICH YE HAVE SPOKEN

COME UPON ME.

LOVE
