Acts 8:16

Jesus

14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.

15 On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

17 Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.
