Commentary on Acts 8:23

Theological / Devotional

I perceive. With true insight, Peter gauged the contents of Simon’s heart.

Gall of bitterness. That is, “the gall which is bitterness,” and in the next phrase, “the bond which is iniquity.” Peter sees the man as immersed in bitterness and chained in iniquity. Simon had allowed envy and covetousness to embitter his soul, and wickedness to become a fixed habit, until he was a prisoner to these evils.
