Apostlenes gjerninger 8,15

The Holy SpiritPrayer

13 Selv Simon trodde, og etter å ha blitt døpt, fortsatte han med Filip. Han var forbløffet da han så tegnene og de store miraklene.

14 Da apostlene i Jerusalem hørte at Samaria hadde tatt imot Guds ord, sendte de Peter og Johannes til dem.

Da de kom, ba de for dem at de måtte få Den Hellige Ånd.

16 For Den Hellige Ånd hadde ennå ikke falt på noen av dem; de hadde bare blitt døpt i Herrens Jesu navn.

17 Så la Peter og Johannes hendene på dem, og de mottok Den Hellige Ånd.
