Perhaps he will forgive you for having such thoughts in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin. 24 Then Simon answered, 'Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.' 25 When they had testified and proclaimed the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the good news to many Samaritan villages.
