Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
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: writing-pronouns
ἐπετίθεσαν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐλάμβανον
˱they˲_/were/_laying_on their hands on them and ˱they˲_/were/_receiving
The first instance of the pronoun they stands for Peter and John, and the pronoun them and the second instance of they stand for the Samaritans. Alternate translation: [When Peter and John were laying their hands on the Samaritans, and the Samaritans were receiving]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
ἐπετίθεσαν
˱they˲_/were/_laying_on
Since this instance of the pronoun they stands for two men, it should be in the dual if your language uses that form. The same is true of “them” in 8:18 and “they” and “the ones” in 8:25.
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
ἐπετίθεσαν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ’ αὐτούς
˱they˲_/were/_laying_on their hands on them
Peter and John laying their hands on the Samaritans who had believed Philip’s message of the gospel was a symbolic action that showed that Peter and John wanted God to give the Holy Spirit to these believers. If there is a gesture with similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation.
