People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 8:18
When Simon saw . . . he offered them money. Uninstructed in the
lofty spirit of the gospel, ambitious to possess this power peculiar to
the apostles, he is sordid enough to offer money for it. His sin was
not that he aspired to this power, but that he sought to buy it. He had
very crude conceptions of the spirit of Christianity. It is not stated,
but it is easy to infer, that he was not one of those upon whom the
apostles had bestowed the divine gift.
