(New Testament/Book of Acts, Chapter 8) But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip’s preaching about the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

After Simon saw and believed what was the sin he committed?
1). He offered the gift of salvation to those who would pay him money.
2). He arose and spoke to a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
3). He offered the apostles money for the gift of being able to lay hands on people and have them receive the Holy Spirit.
