Give me this power as well The phrase begins with a direct request, "Give me," which indicates a desire for something that is not inherently possessed. The Greek word for "give" is "δίδωμι" (didōmi), which implies a transfer of authority or ability. This request is made by Simon the Sorcerer, who, despite his previous belief and baptism, reveals a misunderstanding of the nature of spiritual gifts. The term "power" here is "δύναμις" (dynamis), often used in the New Testament to describe miraculous power or divine ability. Simon's request reflects a common human tendency to seek control over spiritual matters, misunderstanding that such gifts are sovereignly bestowed by God and not commodities to be traded or purchased. he said so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit Greek “Give {me}Δότε (Dote) Verb - Aorist Imperative Active - 2nd Person Plural Strong's 1325: To offer, give; I put, place.
