Commentary on Acts 8:10

Theological / Devotional

Some great one. Verse 10 more clearly defines the nature of the claim. The cry of the people that Simon was “the great power of God” was doubtless the echo of his own pretensions. In some undefined way he claimed to be an incarnation of divine power. He possibly linked himself with the Messiah. Jewish Messianic hopes set a pattern for impostors, and helped them to secure a following. Contrast Philip (v. 5), who preached Christ, not himself.
