¹⁴ But when the apostles that were at Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John.

¹⁵ And when they came, they prayed for them [The which, when they came, prayed for them], that they should receive the Holy Ghost;

¹⁵ When all the people guessed, and all men thought in their hearts of John, lest peradventure he were Christ,

²² And the Holy Ghost came down in bodily likeness, as a dove on him; and a voice was made from heaven, Thou art my dear-worthy Son, in thee it hath well pleased to me.
