“Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.”
'Then Simon answered, 'Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me' - Simon's response is fear-based: he asks for intercessory prayer but does not himself repent or pray. He fears punishment ('so that nothing you have said may happen to me') but shows no transformation. The text does not record his repentance or conversion; it leaves him suspended in fear and uncertainty. His later fate is unknown, creating an ambiguous ending.
