Kisah Para Rasul 8:16-17

8:16 (For the Spirit ¹  had not yet come upon ²  any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ³  8:17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on the Samaritans, ⁴  and they received the Holy Spirit. ⁵ 

¹ tn Grk “For he”; the referent (the Spirit) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Or “fallen on.”

³ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

⁴ tn Grk “on them”; the referent (the Samaritans) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ sn They received the Holy Spirit. It is likely this special distribution of the Spirit took place because a key ethnic boundary was being crossed. Here are some of “those far off” of Acts 2:38-40.
