“Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:22 Repent - if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee - Without all doubt if he had repented, he would have been forgiven. The doubt was, whether he would repent. Thou art in the gall of bitterness - In the highest degree of wickedness, which is bitterness, that is, misery to the soul; and in the bond of iniquity - Fast bound therewith.
8:26 The way which is desert - There were two ways from Jerusalem to Gaza, one desert, the other through a more populous country.
Ac 8:24 Pray ye to the Lord for me. Simon's language indicates that he was terror-stricken and perhaps deeply touched. The sacred record is silent concerning his future career. Whether he repented or relapsed into his old life is conjecture. Tradition insists that he pursued the latter course.
