Acts 8:12-17

Acts 8:12-17 FBV

But when they believed in what Philip told them about the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Simon too believed and was baptized. He accompanied Philip, amazed at the miraculous signs and wonders he saw. When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to visit them. When they arrived they prayed for the converts in Samaria to receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit hadn't come to any of these converts yet—they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. The apostles placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
