Simon the Sorcerer Tried to Buy The Miraculous Ability The Apostles Had #shorts #Jesus #christian

Many people mispeak when referring to Simon the sorcerer. They say that Simon the sorcerer was trying to buy the Holy Spirit from the apostles, but the scripture doesn’t say that. The scripture says that Simon wanted to buy the ability which the apostles had, which was the ability to give the Holy Spirit to baptized believers through the laying on of their hands. “Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, saying, "Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit." But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!”

Yes he wanted to buy the ability, but even that was wrong. The scriptures say in (Acts 8:20-21) - Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.
