Contextual Overview

14 When the apostles whiche were at Hierusalem, hearde say that Samaria hadde receaued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn. 15 Which when they were come downe, prayed for the that they myght receaue the holy ghost. 16 (For as yet he was come downe vpon none of them, but they were baptized only in the name of Christ Iesu.) 17 Then layde they their handes on the, and they receaued the holy ghost. 18 And when Simon sawe, that thorow laying on of the apostles handes, ye holy ghost was geuen, he offred the money, 19 Saying: Geue me also this power, that on whomsoeuer I put the hands, he may receaue the holy ghost. 20 But Peter sayde vnto him: Thy money perishe with thee, because thou hast thought that the gyfte of God may be obteyned with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor felowship in this busynesse: For thy hearte is not ryght in the syght of God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickednesse, & praye God, if perhaps ye thought of thyne heart may be forgeuen thee. 23 For I perceaue yt thou art in the gall of bitternesse, & wrapped in iniquitie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Saying, give me also this power,.... He does not ask them to lay their hands on him, that he might receive the Holy Ghost, and have these gifts to exercise himself, but that he might have the power of conferring them on others:

that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost; in which he discovered his ambition and avarice: his ambition, that he might be above Philip; who though he had these gifts, yet had not a power to lay on hands, and thereby convey them unto others; he perceived that this was purely apostolical; and indeed, what he requested was more than what the apostles could do; for though upon their prayers, and through the imposition of their hands, the gifts of the Spirit were bestowed upon men; yet they never could, nor did give a power to others, to do as they did; and his avarice prompted him to this, that he might make gain of it; not by doing miracles himself, but by conveying a power to others to do them.
