Bible Note: Hi Steve, I would infer from your answer that you would go with the "Great Power" of the NASB in lieu of for instance the NKJ, "This man is the great power of God." I think that you answer is correct, in that "Simon had taken a designation that was reserved for God". However, I do not see the need for the capitalization of "great power" in regards to Simon. To my mind, if Simon was a Great Power then he would have to be regarded as a "Man" [sic] to agree in upper cases. Of course, the NASB does not make that interpretation. The point that I want to make is that God Himself has great power. We have received from Him a spirit of power and not one of timidity. My question for you now is, "Do you think of the authority or power that Simon was seeking in Acts 8:19 as a Gift or a gift?" A related question would be in relation to Acts 1:4. Are you looking "for the Promise of the Father", NKJ, or would you have us "wait for what the Father had promised", NASB, Acts 1:4? From the heart, Ray |
