I am told that possibly Peter and John were simply following the Jewish tradition that required the laying on of hands by the synagogue leaders in order to appoint new leaders. Simon was not offering money for the power to impart tongues. He was offering money to be appointed a leader in the new church to be able to appoint other leaders.
4th century popes paying for their positions ring a bell to anyone?
Ya think that Peter, John, and even Paul had a hard time breaking from Jewish traditions?
