Acts 8:17

17 So Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Acts 8:17 In-Context

15 Peter and John went down to Samaria where they prayed that the new believers would receive the Holy Spirit. (
16 This was because the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen on any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 So Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 When Simon perceived that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money.
19 He said, "Give me this authority too so that anyone on whom I lay my hands will receive the Holy Spirit."
