IZenzo 8:14-24

Kuthe lapho abaphostoli eJerusalema sebezwile ukuthi abaseSamariya balemukele izwi likaNkulunkulu, bathumela kubo uPhethro noJohane. Kuthe sebefikile, babakhulekela ukuba bamukele uMoya oNgcwele, ngokuba wayengakehleli nakoyedwa kubo, kodwa babebhabhadiswe egameni leNkosi uJesu kuphela. Ngakho-ke babeka izandla phezu kwabo, base bemukela uMoya oNgcwele. Kepha uSimoni, esebonile ukuthi ngokubekwa kwezandla zabaphostoli abantu bemukela uMoya, waletha imali kubo, wathi: “Ngipheni nami leli gunya ukuze yilowo nalowo engibeka izandla phezu kwakhe, amukele uMoya oNgcwele.” Kepha uPhethro wathi kuye: “Isiliva lakho malibhubhe kanye nawe, ngokuba ucabanga ukuthi isipho sikaNkulunkulu singathengwa ngemali. Awunasabelo nalifa kuleli lizwi, ngokuba inhliziyo yakho ayilungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke phenduka kulobu bubi, ukhuleke eNkosini, hleze ikuthethelele umdlinzo wenhliziyo yakho, ngokuba ngiyabona ukuthi ugcwele umona futhi uyisigqila sobubi.” USimoni wayesephendula ethi: “Nginxuseleni nina eNkosini, ukuze ngingehlelwa yilokho enikushilo.”
