11And they gave attention to him, because for a long time his wonder-working powers had kept them under his control.
12But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism.
13And Simon himself had faith and, having had baptism, he went with Philip and, seeing the signs and the great wonders which he did, he was full of surprise.
14Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John;
15Who, when they came there, made prayer for them, that the Holy Spirit might be given to them:
16For up to that time he had not come on any of them; only baptism had been given to them in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17Then they put their hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them.
