(For {G1063} as yet {G3768} he was {G2258} fallen {G1968} upon {G1909} none {G3762} of them {G846}: only {G3440}{G1161} they were {G5225} baptized {G907} in {G1519} the name {G3686} of the Lord {G2962} Jesus {G2424}.)

For until then he had not come upon any of them; they had only been immersed into the name of the Lord Yeshua.

For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
