CRITICAL REMARKSActs 8:18. And when Simon saw.—Most likely through hearing the baptised speak with tongues. He offered them money.—From Simon’s name and proposal arose the expression “Simony” for the purchase of spiritual offices. Inde Simoniœ vocabulum (Bengel).Acts 8:19. To me also.—I.e., “as well as to you”; not “as well as to others,” “since no example of such transfer was known to him” (Hackett).Acts 8:20.

DISCOURSE: 1759THE STATE OF UNGODLY MENActs 8:23. I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.IT is no real disparagement to the Gospel of Christ, if some hypocrites be found among the professors of religion. This has been the case in every age of the Church, even when the temptations to hypocrisy were far less than they are at present. There was a Judas among the twelve Apostles, and a Simon Magus among the converts of Philip. Simon had appeared sincere in... read more

DISCOURSE: 1760PHILIP AND THE EUNUCHActs 8:35. Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.IF God have designs of love and mercy towards any person, he will be at no loss for means whereby to accomplish them. We can have no doubt but that the Ethiopian Eunuch was chosen, like the Apostle Paul, even from his mother’s womb; yet had he left Jerusalem, where all the Apostles were assembled, without obtaining any knowledge of Christ Jesus. Moreover, he... read more

DISCOURSE: 1761THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH’S CONFESSIONActs 8:37. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.CIRCUMSTANCES, apparently casual, are often productive of the most important results. The Ethiopian Eunuch, a proselyte, “had been up to Jerusalem to worship;” and, on his return homewards, was reading a portion of the 53rd chapter of Isaiah. Philip, who was at that time at Samaria, was ordered by an angel to go southward, towards Gaza. In this journey he saw the Eunuch, sitting in his... read more

Understandest Thou What Thou Readest? A Sermon Delivered on Lord's-Day Evening, May 11th, 1884, by C. H. SPURGEON, At Exeter-Hall. "And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 8:1-40

Chapter 8We are introduced now to one of the chief persecutors. A zealous young Jew, a Pharisee of the Pharisees, whose name is Saul. And he was standing by, consenting to the death of Stephen, holding the coats of the fellows who were throwing the stones. No doubt, cheering them on. But I have no doubt, that what Stephen's death and his reaction to it had such a great effect on Paul that he never got away from it. And I believe that it was ultimately the background of Paul's conversion. For... read more

Acts 8:1 . At that time there was a great persecution against the church. With regard to this very tremendous storm which suddenly burst on the infant church, Cardinal Baronius, in his Ecclesiastical Annals, gives us an extract from a discourse of Dorotheus, a priest of Antioch, written in the second century, who states that two thousand persons were at this time massacred in Jerusalem, and in Judea; and that their bodies were mangled, and exposed in the fields to be devoured by vultures... read more

Acts 8:9-24But there was a certain man called Simon Simon the Magian unmasked and put to shameThis Simon was the first heretic in the Christian Church, the first to claim its fellowship while out of sympathy with its fundamental truths.His mistakes were many and grievous.1. He began with an unscrupulous ambition. No sooner had Peter and John begun to confer the gifts of spiritual power by the laying on of hands than Simon saw that his own juggleries were cast into the shade. All that he... read more
