Answer Details

The statement, "This man is that power of God which is called Great," was made in Samaria, referring to Simon the magician. According to the Bible, Simon was a magician who used his powers to deceive people and gain their admiration. When Philip, one of the disciples of Jesus, preached the gospel in Samaria and performed miracles in Jesus' name, many people believed and were baptized. Simon also believed and was baptized, but he saw the miracles as a means to gain more power and influence. He offered to buy the ability to impart the Holy Spirit to people, but Peter rebuked him harshly, telling him that he had no part in the gospel because his heart was not right with God. The statement in question was made by the Samaritans who were amazed at Simon's magic and thought he had the power of God, but they were mistaken because only God has the true power that is called Great.
