20 But Peter answered him, “May you and your money go to hell, for thinking that you can buy God's gift with money!
21 You have no part or share in our work, because your heart is not right in God's sight.
22 Repent, then, of this evil plan of yours, and pray to the Lord that he will forgive you for thinking such a thing as this.
23 For I see that you are full of bitter envy and are a prisoner of sin.”
24 Simon said to Peter and John, “Please pray to the Lord for me, so that none of these things you spoke of will happen to me.”
25 After they had given their testimony and proclaimed the Lord's message, Peter and John went back to Jerusalem. On their way they preached the Good News in many villages of Samaria.
26 An angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get ready and go south to the road that goes from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This road is not used nowadays.)
