Acts 8:19

Simon said: Give me this power that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus. They asked: Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

He spoke an illustration to the invited guests. He noticed they chose from the most important seats. So he said to them:

How can you believe? You seek praise and glory from one another? Why do you not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

A certain man called Simon was in the same city. He used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, telling everyone that he was great.

So they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

And last of all I also saw him, as of one with an untimely birth.

I wrote something to the congregation. But Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, did not receive us.
