Footnotes

  1. Acts 8:17 tn Grk “on them”; the referent (the Samaritans) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. Acts 8:17 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.
