But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Pero Pedro le dijo: 'Que tu dinero se pierda contigo, porque pensaste que el don de Dios se puede comprar con dinero.'
Los dones de Dios no se pueden comprar con dinero.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Acts, the early church was growing rapidly as apostles like Philip preached the gospel in regions like Samaria, where people were converting to Christianity. Simon, a magician who had previously dazzled crowds with his sorcery, became a believer but then tried to buy the ability to confer the Holy Spirit from Peter and John, who had come to Samaria to pray for new believers. Peter's strong rebuke reflects the cultural context of the time, where magic and spiritual manipulation were common, and emphasizes that God's gifts cannot be commodified.
