Acts 10:44-46 shows the Spirit falling on Gentiles as they hear the word — a direct parallel to the Samaritan situation where the Spirit had not yet fallen.

Acts 10:47 shows Gentiles receiving the Spirit before water baptism, contrasting with Samaritans who were baptized but had no Spirit yet.

Acts 11:15-17 records Peter reporting that the Spirit fell on Gentiles just as on the apostles — the same gift, directly relevant to the delay described here.

Acts 19:2 reports believers who had not received the Spirit — mirroring the situation here where the Spirit had not yet fallen on Samaritans.

Acts 19:5 describes baptism in Jesus' name by those who had only John's baptism — also lacking the Spirit until hands laid, mirroring the Samaritan situation.

Acts 19:6 shows that after baptism in Jesus' name, laying on of hands brought the Holy Spirit — the same sequence implied in Acts 8:16-17.

Acts 2:38 promises the Holy Spirit to those who repent and are baptized — here the Samaritans were baptized but hadn't yet received, showing a delayed fulfillment.

Acts 10:48 commands baptism in Jesus' name for those who already received the Spirit — the same formula but different order than in Acts 8:16.

Matthew 28:19 commands baptism in the triune name, while Acts 8:16 uses 'name of the Lord Jesus' — a contrast in baptismal formula.

1 Corinthians 1:13-15 stresses baptism in Christ's name, not a human leader's — consistent with baptizing 'in the name of the Lord Jesus' in Acts 8:16.

Hebrews 6:2 lists 'washings' and 'laying on of hands' as elementary teachings — practices that appear together in Acts 8:16-17.
