8:9-24 Simon the sorcerer was a showman, dazzling the people of Samaria and making self-exalting claims. Simon’s attempt to obtain spiritual power through payment gave the name simony to the later corrupt practice of buying and selling ordination to church leadership (cp. 1 Tim 6:9-10). Peter strongly rebuked Simon’s wickedness.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐδέπω & ἦν ἐπ’ οὐδενὶ αὐτῶν ἐπιπεπτωκός
not_yet & ˱it˲_was on no_one ˱of˲_them /having/_fallen_on
Luke is speaking of the Holy Spirit as if it could fall on the Samaritan believers. Alternate translation: “none of them had yet received the Holy Spirit”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Luke is using the word For to introduce the reason why Peter and John had to pray for the Samaritans to receive the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: “They prayed for them because”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐδέπω & ἦν ἐπ’ οὐδενὶ αὐτῶν ἐπιπεπτωκός
not_yet & ˱it˲_was on no_one ˱of˲_them /having/_fallen_on
In Greek this is a double negative for emphasis, “he had not yet fallen upon none of them.” The second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. If for emphasis your language uses double negatives that do not cancel one another, it would be appropriate to use that construction here.
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
οὐδέπω & ἦν & ἐπιπεπτωκός
not_yet & ˱it˲_was & /having/_fallen_on
The pronoun he stands for the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
μόνον & βεβαπτισμένοι ὑπῆρχον εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ
only & /having_been/_baptized ˱they˲_/were/_being into the name ˱of˲_the Lord Jesus
Here, the name of the Lord Jesus represents his authority, and being baptized into his name represents being baptized in order to be under his authority. Alternate translation: “they had only been baptized to become disciples of the Lord Jesus”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μόνον & βεβαπτισμένοι ὑπῆρχον
only & /having_been/_baptized ˱they˲_/were/_being
If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. If you must state who did the action, the context suggests it was Philip. Alternate translation: “Philip had only baptized them” or “Philip had only baptized the Samaritan believers”
