Fragment

When the Samaritans turned the Lord away because His face was to go to Jerusalem, John wanted to call fire down from heaven on them. The Lord told him that he did not know what spirit he was of (Luke 9:5555But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. (Luke 9:55)).
When Philip preached in Samaria and many were saved (Acts 8:1313Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. (Acts 8:13)), they did not receive the Holy Spirit until two came from Jerusalem to them. Who were those two? One was John, who, instead of calling fire down from heaven, was the means of their receiving the Holy Spirit.
