“And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”
When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied — The apostolic laying on of hands (epithithēmi, to place upon) becomes the conduit of Spirit-reception; glossolalia and prophecy provide phenomenological assurance of genuine Pentecostal experience. The pattern echoes Peter's Samaria encounter (8:17).
