At issue is a minor question of taste or style. The second set of three gives the complete formula, the first gives a shortened form. We observe that in verse 2 there is a complete exchange between Paul and the group of disciples, and the full introductory formula is used for both. In verse 3 there is a second complete exchange, wherein the second introductory formula is short—should not the first introductory formula also be short, to match it? That would seem to make for better style. But the attestation for the long form is fairly strong, 67.8% vs 24.5%. Presumably the contenders are the first variants in 1) and 2), so τε wins over δε. I consider that the first variant in 1) really is the better reading, as well as being attested by f35. «Εἰς τί οὖν ἐβαπτίσθητε;» Οἱ δὲ εἶπον,§ειπον rell ¦ ειπαν ℵA,B [2%] NU «Εἰς τὸ Ἰωάννου βάπτισμα.» 4 Εἶπεν δὲ*δε rell ¦ τε [45%] Παῦλος, «Ἰωάννης μὲν†μεν f35 [96%] HF,RP,OC,TR,CP ¦ — ℵA,B,D [4%] NU ἐβάπτισεν βάπτισμα μετανοίας, τῷ λαῷ λέγων εἰς τὸν ἐρχόμενον μετ᾿ αὐτὸν ἵνα πιστεύσωσιν, τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν, εἰς τὸν Χριστόν,‡χριστον f35 (D) [96%] HF,RP,OC,TR,CP ¦ — ℵA,B [4%] NU Ἰησοῦν.»§χριστον ιησουν rell ¦ ~ 21 OC 5 Ἀκούσαντες δὲ ἐβαπτίσθησαν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ. 6 Καὶ ἐπιθέντος αὐτοῖς τοῦ Παύλου τὰς*τας f35 [55%] HF,RP,OC,TR,CP[NU] ¦ — ℵA,B(D) [45%] χεῖρας ἦλθεν τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, ἐλάλουν τε γλώσσαις καὶ προεφήτευον.†προεφητευον f35 [93%] HF,RP,OC,TR,CP ¦ επροφητευον ℵA,B,D [7%] NU 7 Ἦσαν δὲ οἱ πάντες ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ δεκαδύο.‡δεκαδυο f35 [94%] HF,RP,OC,TR,CP ¦ δωδεκα ℵA,B,D [6%] NU
