But Philip announced the good news of God’s kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ. So men and women believed and were baptized. Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip everywhere. He was amazed by the great signs and miracles he saw. The apostles in Jerusalem heard that people in Samaria had accepted God’s word. So they sent Peter and John to Samaria. When they arrived there, they prayed for the new believers. They prayed that they would receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their hands on them. And they received the Holy Spirit.
