“for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.”

Verse in context — Acts 8

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;

for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.

Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

The birth and growth of the early church through the power of the Holy Spirit.
