ΝΑΜΑΤΑ ΓΛΥΚΥΡΡΟΙΑ: "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"

37 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ' αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως.
38 ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά: γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτόν.
39 καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη μαριάμ, [ἣ] καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ κυρίου ἤκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ.
40 ἡ δὲ μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν: ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπεν, κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπεν διακονεῖν; εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται.
41 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ κύριος, μάρθα μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά,
42 ἑνὸς δέ ἐστιν χρεία: μαριὰμ γὰρ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται αὐτῆς.

"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"

Acts of the Apostles 19:1-8

In those days, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the
upper country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. And
he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you
believed?" And they said, "No, we have never even heard that there is a Holy
Spirit." And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into
John's baptism." And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of
repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after
him, that is, Jesus." On hearing this, they were baptized in the name
of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the
Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
There were about twelve of them in all. And he entered the synagogue
and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the
kingdom of God.
