¹² But when they believed Philip ^(A)as he was preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were being ^(B)baptized. ¹³ Now even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized, he continued on with Philip, and as he observed ^(C)signs and ^(D)great miracles taking place, he was repeatedly amazed.

¹⁴ Now when ^(E)the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them ^(F)Peter and John, ¹⁵ who came down and prayed for them ^(G)that they would receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (For He had ^(H)not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been ^(I)baptized ^[a]in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then they ^(J)began laying their hands on them, and they were ^(K)receiving the Holy Spirit.

Paul in Ephesus

19 Now it happened that while ^(A)Apollos was in ^(B)Corinth, Paul passed through the ^(C)upper country and came to ^(D)Ephesus, and found some disciples. ² He said to them, “^(E)Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “On the contrary, ^(F)we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.” ³ And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “^(G)Into John’s baptism.” ⁴ Paul said, “^(H)John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people ^(I)to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” ⁵ When they heard this, they were ^(J)baptized ^[a]in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul had ^(K)laid hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they began ^(L)speaking with tongues and ^(M)prophesying.
