8:14 使徒在耶路撒冷聽見撒馬利亞人領受了 神的道,就打發彼得、約翰往他們那裏去。
8:15 兩個人到了,就為他們禱告,要叫他們受聖靈。
8:16 因為聖靈還沒有降在他們一個人身上,他們只奉主耶穌的名受了洗。
8:17 於是使徒按手在他們頭上,他們就受了聖靈。
8:18 西門看見使徒按手,便有聖靈賜下,就拿錢給使徒,
8:19 說:「把這權柄也給我,叫我手按著誰,誰就可以受聖靈。」
8:20 彼得說:「你的銀子和你一同滅亡吧!因你想 神的恩賜是可以用錢買的。
8:21 你在這道上無分無關;因為在 神面前,你的心不正。
8:22 你當懊悔你這罪惡,祈求主,或者你心裏的意念可得赦免。
8:23 我看出你正在苦膽之中,被罪惡捆綁。」
8:24 西門說:「願你們為我求主,叫你們所說的,沒有一樣臨到我身上。」
8:25 使徒既證明主道,而且傳講,就回耶路撒冷去,一路在撒馬利亞好些村莊傳揚福音。

8:14 在耶路撒冷的使徒聽見撒馬利亞人領受了上帝的信息,就派彼得和約翰到他們那裏去。
8:15 兩人一到,就替信徒們禱告,要使他們領受聖靈。
8:16 因為當時聖靈還沒有臨到他們當中的任何人;他們只是奉主耶穌的名接受洗禮。
8:17 於是彼得和約翰給他們按手,他們就領受了聖靈。
8:18 西門看見使徒所按手的人都領受了聖靈,就拿錢給使徒,
8:19 說:「請把這能力也給我,使我替誰按手,誰就領受聖靈。」
8:20 彼得卻對他說:「你跟你的金錢一起滅亡吧!你居然妄想能夠用錢買上帝的恩賜!
8:21 你在我們的工作上沒有份;因為在上帝面前,你的心術不正。
8:22 所以,你要悔改,離棄邪惡,祈求主赦免你心中這種意念。
8:23 我看出你正在啃著嫉妒的苦果,作罪的囚徒。」
8:24 西門對彼得和約翰說:「請你們為我向主祈求,使你們所說的這事不至於發生在我身上。」
8:25 彼得和約翰在那裏作了見證,宣講主的信息,然後回耶路撒冷去。歸途中,他們在撒馬利亞的許多村鎮傳福音。
8:14 Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Sama'ria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John,
8:15 who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
8:16 for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
8:17 Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
8:18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
8:19 saying, "Give me also this power, that any one on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
8:20 But Peter said to him, "Your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
8:21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
8:22 Repent therefore of this wickedness of
yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart
may be forgiven you.
8:23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity."
8:24 And Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me."
8:25 Now when they had testified and spoken
the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel
to many villages of the Samaritans.
