When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

Paul placed his hands on them. Then the Holy Spirit came on them. They spoke in languages they had not known before. They also prophesied.

And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.

Then when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied.

And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.

And when Paul had laid hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.

And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in other languages and to prophesy.

And when Paul had laid[ his] hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

They stood these men before the apostles, who prayed and placed their hands on them.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.

These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;

Do not lay hands on anyone hastily and so identify with the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess through the laying on of my hands.

Then Peter and John placed their hands on the Samaritans, and they received the Holy Spirit.Now Simon, when he saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, offered them money,saying,“ Give me this power too, so that everyone I place my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”

So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said,“ Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were greatly astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles,for they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said,

Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I help you unless I speak to you with a revelation or with knowledge or prophecy or teaching?It is similar for lifeless things that make a sound, like a flute or harp. Unless they make a distinction in the notes, how can what is played on the flute or harp be understood?If, for example, the trumpet makes an unclear sound, who will get ready for battle?It is the same for you. If you do not speak clearly with your tongue, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.There are probably many kinds of languages in the world, and none is without meaning.If then I do not know the meaning of a language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.So then, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.What should I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will also sing praises with my mind.Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift say“ Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you,but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.It is written in the law:“ By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me,” says the Lord.So then, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.The secrets of his heart are disclosed, and in this way he will fall down with his face to the ground and worship God, declaring,“ God is really among you.”

And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues.Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they?Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?

Now there were these prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen( a close friend of Herod the tetrarch from childhood) and Saul.While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,“ Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit,to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.
