Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 8:21

Neither part - You have no “portion” of the grace of God; that is, you are destitute of it altogether. This word commonly denotes the “part” of an inheritance which falls to one when it is divided.Nor lot - This word means properly a portion which “falls” to one when an estate, or when spoil in war is divided into portions, according to the number of those who are to be partakers, and the part of each one is determined by “lot.” The two words denote “emphatically” that he was in no sense a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 8:20-21

Acts 8:20-21. But Peter said, Thy money perish with thee Not being able to conceal his indignation, upon hearing so infamous an offer. His words are not to be considered as an imprecation, but as a strong admonition to Simon of his danger, and an intimation, how much rather the apostle would see the greatest sum of money lost and cast away, than receive any part of it upon such shameful terms. With a horror like that with which Peter received the wicked proposal of Simon, should we look on... read more

Acts 8:21. Thou hast neither part nor lot, &c.— "Assure yourself, that you have no claim to the least share or inheritance in the privileges and blessings of this dispensation of the Spirit, and in Christ and heavenly glory: for how specious soever your professions of faith may be, it hereby appears, with undeniable evidence, that your heart is hypocritical and perverse." read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 8:20-23

Peter’s stern response, however, revealed the seriousness of Simon’s error. J. B. Phillips paraphrased Peter’s opening words, "To hell with you and your money!" [Note: The New Testament in Modern English.] Literally Peter said, "Your silver be with you into perdition." By his request Simon had revealed that he hoped he could buy God’s gifts, namely, the Holy Spirit and the ability to impart the Holy Spirit to others. Peter corrected him harshly. God’s gifts are gifts; people cannot purchase... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 8:1-40

Philip in Samaria. Simon MagusThe graphic details of the ministry of Philip which follow, were doubtless obtained from Philip himself. St. Luke stayed at his house at Cæsarea, and made the acquaintance of his four virgin daughters, prophetesses (Acts 21:8). During St. Paul’s three years’ imprisonment at Caesarea, St. Luke doubtless had much intercourse with Philip, with whose liberal views he was in sympathy. The historical character of the following narratives stands upon a firm basis. In... read more
