Original text and translations

Latin text Erat autem in civitate Samariae vir quidam, nomine Simon Magus, videns signa et virtutes Apostolorum, stupens admirabatur: Obtulit eis pecuniam, dicens: Date et mihi hanc potestatem. Responderunt Apostoli: Pecunia tua tecum sit in perditionem: Quia donum sancti Spiritus te credidisti pecuniis comparare.

English translation Now there was a certain man in the city of Samaria, and his name is Simon Magus. Seeing the miracles and signs of the apostles, he was amazed: He offered them money, saying: Give me this power. The apostles answered, May your money go with you to perdition: Because you believed the gift of the Holy Spirit could be bought.
