Acts 8:16

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 

Acts 19:6

19:6 and when Paul placed ⁴  his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came ⁵  upon them, and they began to speak ⁶  in tongues and to prophesy. ⁷

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 Or “laid.”

⁵ sn The coming of the Holy Spirit here is another case where the Spirit comes and prophesy results in Acts (see Acts 2). Paul’s action parallels that of Peter (Acts 8) and not just with Gentiles.

⁶ tn The imperfect verb ἐλάλουν (elaloun) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

⁷ tn The imperfect verb ἐπροφήτευον (eprofhteuon) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.
