15 Os quais, tendo descido, oraram por eles, para que recebessem ao Espírito Santo.

16 (Porque ainda sobre nenhum deles tinha descido; mas somente tinham sido batizados no nome do Senhor Jesus).

17 Então puseram as mãos sobre eles, e receberam o Espírito Santo.

18 E Simão ao ver que pela imposição das mãos dos apóstolos se dava o Espírito Santo, ofereceu-lhes dinheiro,

19 Dizendo: Dai também a mim este poder, que sobre qualquer um em quem eu puser as mãos, receba o Espírito Santo.
