^5 (A)Philip went down to the city^[a] of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. ^6 (B)And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him ^(C)and saw the signs that he did. ⁷ For ^(D)unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. ⁸ So ^(E)there was much joy in that city.

¹⁴ Now when ^(A)the apostles at Jerusalem heard that ^(B)Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who came down and prayed for them ^(C)that they might receive the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ for ^(D)he had not yet ^(E)fallen on any of them, but ^(F)they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then ^(G)they laid their hands on them and ^(H)they received the Holy Spirit.
